Generate images, video, and 3D assets using AI models
Chain multiple AI models together in a single workflow
Low-volume production where dollar-based usage pricing makes sense
One-off asset creation rather than recurring template-based production
Creative exploration where the goal is iteration, not repeatable production
Plainly Flows
Best for high-volume creative production
Repeatable video, image, and GenAI content workflows
Brand guardrails that do not need to be reconfigured for every new workflow
Built-in approval stages so every asset gets reviewed before it goes live
Turning brand-approved templates into automated production
AI nodes that run on your own API keys, not a platform credit system

Flora vs Plainly Flows
The production layer Flora doesn't have
Produce hundreds of assets, not one at a time
Flora always starts empty. Every project is a canvas, a set of models, and prompts that decide how close the output lands to your brand.
Plainly Flows flips that. Your templates go in first, AI nodes slot in where the workflow needs them, and the same setup runs every campaign without being rebuilt.

Nothing ships without sign-off
Reviews in Flora happen outside Flora. You export the asset, send it around, and collect feedback from email and Slack yourself.
In Plainly Flows, approval is part of the workflow. You decide who reviews at each stage, and the asset waits until they approve it.

Brand rules that apply automatically
In Flora, staying on-brand depends on the person writing the prompt. There are no brand rules the tool can enforce, so every generation can drift in its own direction.
Plainly Flows allows you to create and apply your own brand rules inside your workflows. Approved fonts, colors, logos, and messaging carry through every asset, whether you produce ten or ten thousand.
