Flow
Chain AI tools into automated creative pipelines on a visual node-based canvas, no code required
Flow is Kolbo.AI's visual workflow builder. It lets you chain any AI tools together on a node-based canvas and run the whole sequence as one automated pipeline. Generate, edit, animate, and add audio in a single operation, with no code and no file juggling between tools.
Overview
Working with AI usually means generating in one tool, downloading, uploading somewhere else to edit, downloading again, then moving the result somewhere to animate or add audio. The content takes minutes; the logistics take far longer.
Flow removes that friction. You design the entire sequence visually and run it in one click. Think of it as a creative assembly line you build once and run whenever you need it.
How it works
The interface is a canvas. Each step in your workflow is a node, a box that represents a specific AI action. Drag out the nodes you need, connect their inputs and outputs, configure each node's settings, and run. The output of each step flows automatically into the next.
A basic example:
- Text Prompt - write your starting prompt
- Image Generation - generates using any Kolbo model
- Background Removal - strips the background automatically
- Image-to-Video - animates the result with Kling, Seedance, or any video model
- Music Generation - adds a Suno-generated track to the final video
The whole pipeline runs from a single click. No tab switching, no repeated manual steps.
Why node-based workflows
The visual format makes complex logic legible. You see the full shape of your pipeline at once: what feeds into what, where it branches, and what the final output will be. When something breaks, you can see exactly which node to fix.
It also makes workflows reusable and shareable. Build a pipeline for your product photography process once, save it, and run it every time a new product comes in. A built workflow is a repeatable system instead of a set of remembered steps.
Use cases
- E-commerce automation - input a product image, output a lifestyle shot with background removed, resized per platform, plus a generated description, all in one pipeline.
- Social content pipelines - generate a hero image, animate it, add background music, and export at the right aspect ratio for Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts in one run.
- Character generation workflows - generate a character, feed it into a close-up variation, then animate. Consistent character, full pipeline, one workflow.
- Ad creative iteration - connect a prompt-variation step to image generation, output variants in parallel, and filter by style without touching each one manually.
No code, no setup
Flow needs nothing but your creative logic. No scripts, no API calls, no webhooks. Everything runs on Kolbo's infrastructure using the same credits and models you already have access to. If you can plan a creative process, you can build it in Flow.
Tips
- Start with a two-node pipeline (generate, then edit), run it, and watch the outputs connect. The logic extends naturally from there.
- Save pipelines you reuse so you do not rebuild them each time.
- Use Visual DNA inside generation nodes to keep characters and products consistent through the whole pipeline.
