Hangzhou Flowith Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd.[a] doing business as Flowith,[b] is a Chinese artificial intelligence company specializing in multimodal AI agents and extended context capabilities. Based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Flowith develops a platform featuring its flagship product, Agent NEO, an AI agent designed for complex, multi-step tasks such as creating 3D games, writing long-form texts (e.g., novels), developing interactive websites, and processing large datasets. The platform also includes Knowledge Gardens, a marketplace for users to create, sell, and utilize datasets for AI training. As of 2025, Flowith operates in closed beta, accessible only via invitation codes.[1]

Flowith positions itself as a competitor to platforms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, offering unique features such as a context window of up to 10 million tokens and support for 3D generation.[2]

History

[edit]

Flowith was established in September 2023 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, as an AI startup.[1] Limited information is available about its founders or key personnel, raising questions about the company’s transparency.[3] The company focused on developing next-generation AI agents capable of autonomous execution of complex tasks. Discussions on platforms like Weibo have highlighted early user interest in Flowith’s potential to rival global AI leaders.[4]

In 2024, Flowith introduced Agent NEO, positioning it as a rival to systems like OpenAI’s Manus, Operator, and Anthropic’s Claude. During beta testing, Agent NEO demonstrated superior performance in tasks requiring extended context and multimodality. For instance, user Hasan Toor reported that Agent NEO successfully created a functional 3D billiards game, outperforming OpenAI Manus and Lovable in similar tasks.[5]

Products and technologies

[edit]

Flowith’s platform operates in two primary modes—Flow Mode and Oracle Mode (Agent NEO)—and includes the Knowledge Gardens data marketplace.

Flow Mode

[edit]

Flow Mode is the platform’s general-purpose mode, designed for content generation, workflow automation, and API integration. Key features include:

  • Text generation: Utilizes models such as GPT-4.1-mini, Claude 3.5 Haiku, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Grok 3-mini to produce texts like articles, reports, and scripts.[6]
  • Workflow automation: Supports no-code solutions and API integrations with services like Slack and Notion to streamline processes.[7]
  • Prompt engineering: Tools for crafting complex prompts using node references, enhancing task structuring and result accuracy.[8]

Flow Mode targets content managers, marketers, and data analysts seeking rapid automation and content creation.

Agent NEO (Oracle Mode)

[edit]

Agent NEO, operating in Oracle Mode, is Flowith’s flagship product, tailored for complex, multi-step tasks. Its key features include:

  • Context window: Up to 10 million tokens (approximately 7 million words), with “infinite” expansion via optimized caching and compression algorithms.[2]
  • Multimodality:
 * Text: Supports models like GPT-4.1, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and Grok 3.
 * Images: DALL·E 3, Flux 1.1 Pro, Recraft V3.
 * Video: Veo 2, Kling V2.[9]
  • Long-term tasks: Capable of handling projects over months, such as writing novels, developing 3D games, and creating interactive websites.[10]
  • Task control: Users can pause, adjust, and resume tasks, offering flexibility in project management.[11]

Example applications:

  • Creating a 3D billiards game, surpassing OpenAI Manus and Lovable.[5]
  • Generating a website with a Studio Ghibli-style comic based on the story “Wu Song Fights the Tiger.”[12]
  • Producing a complete game design presentation document.[11]
  • Analyzing video content and retrieving information from social media using Grok.[13]
  • Demonstrating animations, such as Ghibli-style sequences, as showcased in beta-tester videos on Douyin.[14]

Agent NEO likely employs a modular architecture based on transformer models, with additional components for multimodal data processing. While exact details are undisclosed, it may integrate game engines like Unity or Unreal Engine for 3D generation.[15]

Knowledge Gardens

[edit]

Knowledge Gardens is a marketplace for datasets, enabling users to upload, sell, and purchase data for AI training. Key features:

Knowledge Gardens sets Flowith apart from competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic, which lack integrated data marketplaces.

Comparison with competitors

[edit]

Flowith and Agent NEO compete with leading AI platforms, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Below is a comparison of Agent NEO’s key features, which has garnered attention in tech communities like Hacker News for its innovative approach.[18]

Feature Agent NEO OpenAI Manus Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet Google Gemini 2.5 Pro
Context window 10M+ tokens 128K tokens 200K tokens 1M tokens
3D generation Yes No No No
Long-term tasks Yes (months) No (limited) No (limited) No (limited)
Multimodality Yes (text, 3D, video) Yes (text, code) Yes (text) Yes (text, images)
Dataset integration Yes (Knowledge Gardens) No No No

Advantages:

  • Exceptionally large context window, ideal for long-term projects.
  • Support for 3D generation and interactive web elements.
  • Integration with Knowledge Gardens for specialized datasets.[9]

Disadvantages:

  • Closed beta restricts access.
  • Lack of transparency regarding developers and architecture.
  • Limited independent testing.[3]

Access and monetization

[edit]

Flowith offers two access tiers:

  • Free version: Functions as a chatbot with models GPT-4.1-mini, Claude 3.5 Haiku, Gemini 2.5 Flash, and Grok 3-mini. Agent functionalities are unavailable.[1]
  • Pro version: Costs $20 per month with a 14-day free trial, providing full access to Agent NEO and Knowledge Gardens. Payment is possible without a credit card.[1]

Access requires an invitation code (XXXX-XXXX format), limiting availability.[1]

Criticism and challenges

[edit]

Flowith and Agent NEO have received praise for their multimodal capabilities and large context windows. However, the platform faces challenges:

  • Transparency: The absence of information about the development team and architecture raises reliability concerns.[3]
  • Restricted access: Invitation codes limit widespread testing.
  • Limited reviews: Most evaluations come from users rather than independent experts.[15]
  • Competition: OpenAI Manus excels in programming, while Anthropic Claude outperforms in text analysis.[3]
  • Security: Lack of details on data encryption concerns users handling sensitive data.[10]
  • Censorship: Potential influence of China’s Great Firewall on Agent NEO’s content moderation is unclear, though no specific evidence exists.[19]

Future prospects

[edit]

Flowith has the potential to become a significant player in the AI market due to Agent NEO’s unique capabilities and Knowledge Gardens. To achieve this, the company should:

  • Enable public access by removing invitation codes.
  • Disclose details about its team and technical architecture.
  • Conduct independent tests to validate performance.[20]
