Multi-step AI workflows, explained
When one prompt is not enough: chaining text, image, voice and video models into a repeatable workflow, reusing inputs, and re-running from a single step.

Single prompts solve single tasks. Real production is a sequence: research, draft, visualize, narrate, assemble. Multi-step workflows make that sequence repeatable — same structure, new brief, consistent output. free.flow runs them on every workspace, including free.
Know when to chain
- The same sequence runs more than once — campaign variants, weekly episodes, product catalogs.
- One step informs the next — a generated outline drives the slides, a product photo drives every scene.
- You want one run, not five tabs — a brief goes in, finished assets come out.
Feed assets forward
The power move is input reuse: upload a product photo once and pass it to every downstream image step, so the whole set shares a subject and lighting. Flows keep that consistency automatically.
Start from a template
Proven structures beat blank canvases. Use a template for product shots, social campaigns, explainers or long-form audio, then swap the models and prompts for your use case.
Re-run from any step
When one output misses, fix that step and re-run the rest — not the entire pipeline. Live run progress shows each step, its outputs and its errors, so you always know where to intervene.
Build your first flow in free.flow — it works on every workspace, including free. Start from a template or build one from scratch.
