Creating flows with AIForgeflow is easy. Simply drag components from the sidebar onto the canvas and connect them to start building your application.
Explore by editing prompt parameters, grouping components into a single high-level component, and building your own Custom Components.
Once you’re done, you can export your flow as a JSON file.
Load the flow with:
from aiforge import load_flow_from_json
flow = load_flow_from_json("path/to/flow.json")
# Now you can use it
