Flowent

Run tasks and build workflows by talking to Flowent.

Flowent is an AI workspace built around Steward, an AI operator that helps you
run tasks, use tools, and build workflows through conversation. Simple requests
can be handled directly by the agent runtime; complex or repeatable work can
become workflows that Flowent creates, runs, and refines from execution
feedback.
