🚀 Open-Standards AI Workflow Platform

Where Conversational AI Meets Visual Workflows

Bee Flow combines the natural language power of AI assistants with the visual clarity of node-based workflow editors. Build powerful automations by simply describing what you need, or design them visually.

Self-hosted, privacy-first with deep Nextcloud integration.

⚡ Two Powerful Layers, One Platform

Natural language meets visual design. Use whichever works best for your task.

💬

Conversational AI Layer

Talk to create, modify, and understand workflows

  • Create workflows from natural language descriptions
  • Ask the AI to modify existing workflows
  • Get explanations and auto-generated documentation
  • Debug failures: "Why did this workflow fail?"
"When a new invoice arrives in the Finance folder, extract the amount and vendor, then add it to the tracking spreadsheet."
🔀

Visual Workflow Editor

Design and refine with drag-and-drop precision

  • Triggers: File upload, form, webhook, schedule, calendar
  • Logic: Conditions, branching, transforms, loops
  • AI Nodes: Summarization, classification, extraction
  • Actions: Email, notifications, HTTP, databases

Endless components: AI creates new ones on demand
