Open the in-product Flowgen Agent from the left rail, choose Assist or Plan & Build, review staged work, and use the bottom Make composer for one direct node or output.
Where: Flowgen left rail → Assistant. Use the bottom Make composer for one direct node/output.
Key ideas
- Make is the compact creation path: Choose “Everything else you can make”, search actions, add a brief or reference, select a capable model, and generate with Cmd+Enter.
- Assist and Plan & Build are distinct: Assist answers and operates conversationally. Plan & Build proposes editable stages and waits for Approve & build.
- Reasoning has two views: The Assistant shows Live node reasoning; the Agentic Reasoning view exposes framing, strategy, research, steps, cycles, discarded results, transcript, QA, and cost signals.
- The Agent opens from the left rail: Select Assistant on Flowgen’s left rail. The bottom Make bar is a separate single-output composer. There is no MCP tool to open the in-product Agent panel.
Steps
- Click Assistant in the Flowgen left rail to open the in-product Agent.
- Choose Assist for questions and focused graph work, or Plan & Build for an editable staged plan.
- Describe the outcome, constraints, existing nodes/Brain records to reuse, and whether expensive runs should wait.
- Review/edit the plan or inspect each direct tool action and canvas change.
- Validate connections and outputs from Activity/the canvas before asking the agent to continue or run the full flow.
- Use the bottom Make composer instead when you want to create one known node/output directly; choose its action, model, and typed references.
- Use Conversation history to reopen project conversations, or New conversation to begin without deleting earlier project history.
Plan inspection
- The Plan card reports its Stages and allows stage/node edits before approval.
- Agentic Reasoning can show framed need, strategy, research notes, steps and cycles, unused results, transcript, QA pass/fail, sparks, upscales, and discarded attempts.
- HTML raw markup is not a file URL; connect it from the canvas or add it through Assets.
Tips
- Use Make when the action and desired output are already clear; use Plan & Build when graph structure or review points need agreement.
- Inspect discarded results when an agent appears to ignore a candidate—it may have rejected it during QA.
Limitations and important notes
- The Flowgen MCP tools do not open the in-product Assistant UI; an external MCP client uses its own host model and calls Flowgen tools directly.
- Plan approval authorizes the shown construction; review edits before starting costly stages.
Troubleshooting
Generate is disabled.
Add a brief or a compatible reference and verify the selected action/model accepts that reference role.
