Use the Flow Agent to generate a full script and a visual storyboard grid from one idea, then combine characters and image references to build out an entire AI-generated story.
Learn how the Flow Agent remembers your recent generations for fast iterative edits on images and video, and why phrasing like 'the last generated video' keeps edits accurate.
