What is Flowgen Studio?
Flowgen Studio is Phinite’s visual workflow builder that enables you to create sophisticated AI-powered automations without coding. Design complex multi-agent systems using an intuitive canvas interface, connect them with conditional logic, and deploy with full observability and access controls.Prompt-based creation (Copilot)
Describe your automation goal in natural language and let AI generate the initial workflow structure.
Manual canvas editing
Design precise workflows by dragging and connecting building blocks with full control over logic flow.
Key capabilities
Visual workflow design
- Drag-and-drop canvas: Intuitive interface powered by React Flow for complex workflow visualization
- Real-time collaboration: Multiple team members can work on flows simultaneously with live updates
- Version control: Track changes, compare versions, and rollback to previous iterations
Multi-agent orchestration
- Master Agents: Primary reasoning units with full access to tools, RAG, and conditional logic
- Child Agents: Reusable sub-workflows that can be embedded across multiple flows
- Agent communication: Seamless data passing and coordination between agents
Enterprise features
- Role-based access: Control who can view, edit, or publish flows based on user roles
- Environment management: Deploy flows across Development, UAT, and Production environments
- Audit trails: Complete logging of all changes, executions, and user actions
Advanced logic & data
- Conditional routing: Use LLM-evaluated decision variables to create dynamic workflow paths
- Variable management: Capture, transform, and pass data between workflow steps
- RAG integration: Ground agents with enterprise knowledge from connected data sources
Debugging & observability
- Execution logs: Real-time monitoring of workflow runs with detailed step-by-step traces
- Error handling: Comprehensive error boundaries and debugging tools for troubleshooting
- Performance metrics: Track execution times, success rates, and resource usage
Prerequisites
Access requirements
- Workspace membership: You must be added to a workspace with appropriate permissions
- Role assignment: Minimum “Developer” role required for creating flows, “Admin” for publishing
- Project access: Flows are created within projects - ensure you have project-level access
Technical setup
- Data sources: Configure RAG collections if agents need enterprise knowledge
- Tool integrations: Set up external APIs and authentication credentials
- Environment variables: Configure any required secrets or configuration values

Getting started workflow
1
Access Flowgen Studio
Navigate to your workspace → Projects → [Select Project] → Studio tab
You should see the Flowgen Studio interface with canvas, block library, and inspector panels.
2
Choose creation method
Select either “Create with Copilot” for AI-assisted generation or “Create manually” for full control.
3
Design your workflow
Add blocks, configure agents, connect logic, and test your flow with sample inputs.
Use the debugging tools in the bottom panel to monitor execution and troubleshoot issues.
4
Publish and deploy
Save your flow, add version notes, and publish to your target environment.
