Introducing Flow

What exactly is Flow?

Flow is an agentic AI-powered writing assistant that runs as a dedicated application for creative writers. It goes beyond simple text editing by understanding narrative structure, character development, and thematic elements—like having a master editor and writing coach working alongside you throughout your creative process. As an autonomous agent, Flow can proactively research topics, manage your writing workflow, and handle technical tasks while you focus on creativity. It reads across your entire manuscript, maintains context of your story world, and adapts to your unique writing style and preferences. Unlike general text editors or passive AI tools, Flow deeply understands the unique needs of storytellers and long-form writers, helping with everything from quick scene revisions to comprehensive structural editing across your entire manuscript.

How much does Flow cost?

Flow offers a simple one-time payment of $50 for lifetime access. You can get started with a free trial to experience Flow's capabilities, then purchase a one-time license if you see value and want to continue using it. This approach ensures you own your writing environment outright with no ongoing fees or sudden price increases. We believe your creative tools should be as reliable and straightforward as your commitment to writing.

How does Flow differ from Sudowrite, Novelcrafter, or other AI writing tools?

Unlike other AI writing tools that force you to navigate complex interfaces and steep learning curves, Flow embraces elegant simplicity. Its clean, minimalist design is powered by a sophisticated AI assistant that adapts to your unique writing style—whether you're meticulously structured or prefer to dive right in and discover as you go. Flow seamlessly integrates with your existing work and workflow, eliminating the friction of learning yet another complicated system. No more wrestling with clunky UIs or adapting to rigid frameworks. Just one intuitive interface that keeps you immersed in what matters most: your creative process. Flow doesn't just assist your writing—it becomes an extension of your creative mind.

What model providers can I use with Flow?

Flow is designed to work with multiple AI model providers, giving you flexibility in choosing the right model for your specific writing needs. You can connect Flow to leading AI providers and select different models based on your requirements for creativity, accuracy, or specialized knowledge domains. This approach ensures you're not locked into a single AI solution as the technology evolves.

Will my content stay private?

Yes, your privacy is our priority. Flow is designed with strong privacy controls that keep your creative work secure. Your writing is stored locally on your device by default, and you have full control over what data is shared with AI services. We do not claim ownership of your content, and our privacy policy ensures that your intellectual property remains exclusively yours.

What are custom instructions and how do I use them?

Custom instructions are Flow's baseline programming - they influence all interactions with your manuscript. They help Flow understand your preferences and writing goals.

What are .flowrules and how do I use them?

.flowrules are project-specific instructions in your manuscript's root directory that help maintain consistency throughout your story world.

1. Create .flowrules in your project root
2. Add project-specific guidelines:
• World-building parameters
• Character consistency rules
• Narrative structure preferences
3. Flow will automatically follow these rules

This ensures Flow maintains consistency with your story's unique elements and your creative vision throughout your entire manuscript.

How does Flow adapt to different writing styles?

Flow adapts to your preferred writing style through three complementary approaches:

This ensures that Flow's contributions remain consistent with your unique voice and vision, preserving the authenticity of your work while enhancing your creative process.

Can I extend Flow's capabilities?

Yes! Flow Extensions are like plugins that supercharge your writing workflow, letting Flow interact with the digital world on your behalf as an autonomous agent.

Flow Extensions transform your writing assistant into a complete creative production studio, with agentic capabilities that handle technical tasks so you can focus entirely on your creative vision.
