Floww provides a code‑first automation platform that lets developers define, test, and deploy workflows in TypeScript with compile‑time type safety. The SDK includes built‑in triggers for webhooks, cron schedules, and integrations such as GitHub, Slack, Google, Anthropic and OpenAI, and a CLI bundles the code into serverless endpoints for production or self‑hosted runtimes. A live‑reload development server streams events to the local IDE, enabling instant iteration without redeployment.

Problem
Developers often need to create custom automation workflows that integrate with external services, but existing solutions rely on configuration files, lack compile‑time type safety, and require separate deployment pipelines. This results in brittle code, excessive boilerplate, and slow iteration cycles for operational tasks such as webhooks, scheduled jobs, and API orchestration.
Solution
Floww offers a code‑first automation platform that lets developers write, test, and deploy workflows directly in TypeScript with full type safety. The SDK provides native, type‑checked triggers for webhooks, cron schedules, and third‑party events, eliminating manual configuration. Integrated connectors for GitHub, Slack, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI and any HTTP API enable seamless service orchestration. A live‑reload development server streams events to the local IDE, so changes are reflected instantly without redeploying. When ready, a single CLI command bundles the code and provisions cloud infrastructure, delivering production‑grade endpoints that run 24/7. Optional self‑hosting gives enterprises full control over runtime and data while retaining the same developer experience.
Target Audience
The primary users are software engineers and DevOps teams building operational automations, as well as product teams in SaaS startups that need reliable, type‑safe workflow orchestration across cloud services.
Features
- TypeScript SDK with compile‑time type safety for all triggers and actions
- Built‑in, first‑class integrations (GitHub, Slack, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI) plus generic HTTP client for custom APIs
- Declarative webhook and cron triggers; cron expressions parsed and executed in the cloud runtime
- Live‑reload development mode (`npx floww dev`) that forwards events to local code and hot‑reloads on change
- One‑click production deployment (`npx floww deploy`) that bundles code, provisions serverless endpoints, and generates secure URLs
- AI‑augmented workflow steps using native Anthropic/OpenAI models for content generation or decision logic
- Monitoring dashboard, debugging tools, CI/CD integration, and API‑key management for secure operation
- Self‑hosting option with Dockerized runtime for on‑premise or private cloud deployments
