AI Improvements in FlowFuse

Tidy flows

Select some nodes, or nothing to take the whole tab, and choose Layout Flows from the FlowFuse Expert menu, or press alt-shift-l. The nodes are arranged into clean left-to-right columns that follow the wires, with groups kept together and multi-output nodes keeping their output order.

Each flow keeps its first node where it is and other nodes move out of the way to make room. Flows wider than 1600px wrap onto new rows. Both can be changed in the dialog, and the whole layout is a single undo step.

The Expert uses the same layout when it builds flows for you, so new nodes land tidy instead of stacked.

Undo and redo with the Expert

Ask the Expert to undo a change and it does, even several steps back. It reads the editor's change history first, so it knows which steps were its own and which were yours, and tells you what it reverted. Changed your mind? Ask it to redo.

Let AI test its own changes

Until now, flow changes made by AI waited for you to click Deploy, and checking that they worked was up to you. With AI Flow Deploy and Inject on, the FlowFuse Expert and third-party agents deploy the changes they make, inject a test message into any node with an input, and read the Debug sidebar to check the result. They fix what is wrong and try again, without you in the loop for every step.

Injected messages run the real flow, so downstream nodes act on them as usual. Turn it on for a team in Team Settings, once AI Features is enabled.

Smarter code suggestions

We have updated the AI model behind the editor suggestions. In Function and ui-template nodes, a suggestion now starts where your line stops and ends where your code carries on, without repeating brackets, tags or indentation that are already there. Ask for JSON in plain English and you get the data back indented and ready to use.

Vue and Vuetify in ui-template

The ui-template editor now understands Vue and Vuetify, and Expert suggestions work there too. See Vue and Vuetify Editing for Templates for the details.
