TALK TO YOUR FOLDER.
GET A FINISHED BOOK.

Flow Chat sits beside your document. Tell it what you want in plain words. It writes notes, searches the web, and runs Flow's actions.

Each step goes to the right engine: a frontier model on the plan you already pay for, a cloud API for pictures, or a model on your Mac. Every change waits for your yes, and every reply has Undo.

I'm writing a short book called Agents and Harness. Create a README with the title, a one-line subtitle, my idea quoted exactly, and an outline of three chapters. Don't create the chapters or run anything yet.

Drawn from our real walk on a Flow 2.2 review build: an empty folder to a finished EPUB in 54 minutes. Messages and text shortened. Read the whole walk, with every number labelled.

One chat. Every engine.

Flow runs real document work across the models you already have.

A book, a client brief, an investor update. Flow Chat breaks the job into steps and sends each one where it fits best. You see the route and the cost before and after, and paid runs stay inside a monthly budget you set.

  • Frontier models on your subscriptionRun Claude Code or Codex on the plan you already pay for. Our book's writing and research ran there, at no extra cost.
  • Cloud APIs on your own keyOpenRouter, OpenAI or Anthropic. The book's pictures and cover were five runs through OpenRouter for $0.17, each with a receipt.
  • Local models on this MacFlow Runtime, Ollama or LM Studio. Proofread, summarize and overnight Jobs at $0.00, and nothing leaves the Mac.
  • Two models, judged blindProof Run sends one step to a model on your Mac and one in the cloud. A third picks the better result, and that one waits in Review.

THE THINKING BEHIND FLOW / ESSAY 02

All essays ↗

The Work
We Want to Keep.

An essay by Manav Sehgal

How Flow Jobs gives documents work to do while their owners keep the judgment.

Yesterday’s research. The reason behind a decision. The freedom to begin again. A personal AI workshop should help us carry more of that forward.

CRAFT IS STILL THE POINT

MAKE THE ARGUMENT.
SHOW THE WORK.

Write in Markdown. Edit a table. Turn numbers into one of 34 chart types, or an idea into one of 20 diagram types. Keep the text and its evidence in one native Mac app, readable beyond it. This part is free forever.

Ideas surface useful next moves. Daytime Agency shows the scope and exact diff before you approve a change. In our campaign walk, all 25 figures in the AI draft matched their sources, and nothing went in until we ticked I accept changes.

FLOW 2.2 / AGENTS, REVIEWED

LET THE AGENT WRITE.
YOU SIGN OFF.

Your coding agent can edit docs all day. For prose there is no pull request between the agent and the file. Flow is that step. Run Claude Code or Codex on the plan you already pay for, and every edit lands in Review Changes first.

In our walk, Codex fixed a 239-word pricing page in 26.7 seconds. The file on disk did not change until we pressed approve.

FLOW 2.2 / IMPORT AND PUBLISH

THE FILES YOU GET.
THE FILES THEY WANT.

Clients send decks and PDFs. Investors want slides. Flow turns what arrives into Markdown you can edit, check and keep, then publishes the finished page in the format each reader expects. In our walks, one update became a 13-slide PowerPoint deck, and one launch post became a Word file and a web page.

  • DOCXWord
  • XLSXExcel
  • PPTXPowerPoint
  • PDFPDF
