Config-time agents

AI agents built into FlowX Designer that help you create processes, UIs, and business rules faster.

Config-time agents are AI assistants embedded directly in FlowX Designer. They help developers and business analysts build applications faster by automating repetitive tasks and providing intelligent suggestions.

Human approval: Keep or Discard

Config-time agents never change your project on their own. Everything an agent generates is staged as a draft that a person must explicitly accept:

1. Propose: the agent renders its output as a visual draft directly on the target surface — a generated process on the BPMN canvas, generated UI in the UI Designer, generated code in the script editor. Data-model changes appear as a diff, with added and modified entities highlighted.
2. Review: you inspect the draft in place, refine it by sending another message, and for generated data-model keys you can edit each key or opt out of it individually.
3. Keep or Discard: clicking Keep applies the draft to the project. Clicking Discard drops it — nothing is persisted, and no partial changes remain. If you navigate away with an unkept draft, the Designer warns you before the draft is lost.

When an agent produces an execution plan from an uploaded document, each planned resource has its own Implement action, so a person drives every step of the plan.

The AI Assistant answers questions and cites its sources; it does not propose project changes, so it has no Keep step.

LLM flexibility

Config-time agents support multiple LLM deployment options:

Option	Description
Custom models	Run your own LLM models through the model registry
Internal LLMs	Connect to your organization’s LLMs via OpenAI-compatible API
Cloud providers	Use OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, or other providers

Access to LLMs can be configured through a proxy or gateway. Configure endpoints via environment variables.
