Use this overview to distinguish two Flowgen retrieval systems: discoverable reference graphs you can insert and adapt, and a creator-private preference profile used only as soft guidance.
Where: Flowgen assistant → describe the flow you want
Key ideas
- Reference-flow retrieval: Searches Blueprints, Marketplace/shared graphs, apps, and eligible personal flows for a proven workflow shape. A selected result can be inserted as editable nodes subject to entitlement.
- Private preferences: Summarizes workflow vocabulary, repeated graph choices, and wording from the signed-in user’s own flows. It is private and never a hard requirement.
- Explicit request wins: Current instructions, bound Brain facts, and selected assets override inferred preferences; retrieved examples must be adapted before running.
Steps
- Describe the outcome and constraints.
- Review whether the Agent found an insertable reference, a private preference signal, or both.
- Open the dedicated reference guide before inserting a third-party/past graph, or the private-preferences guide to understand personalization.
- Inspect and adapt the graph, Brain context, models, and destinations.
- Explicitly approve a test/full run only after reviewing cost and side effects.
Two different artifacts
- Reference hit: a specific workflow with source/provenance and optionally an insertable graph.
- Preference record: a compact creator-private summary; it has no graph payload and cannot be inserted.
Tips
- Name the reference/example you want to emulate when consistency matters.
- Inspect inserted graph nodes, credentials, destinations, models, and prices before running.
Limitations and important notes
- Gated Marketplace graphs remain protected by entitlement.
- Legacy personal flows can be shape references without being safe to insert unchanged.
