Flow-Like is a locally-operated, open-source workflow automation engine that emphasizes strong typing and allows users to build and execute automation and AI workflows in environments that are self-hosted or offline. By integrating visual, graph-based workflows with deterministic execution, it simplifies the complexities often associated with system maintenance and validation. In contrast to various other tools that depend on untyped JSON, cloud-exclusive backends, or obscure runtime processes, Flow-Like prioritizes explicit and inspectable data flow and execution. This versatility enables workflows to function seamlessly on local machines, private servers, within containers, or on Kubernetes without altering their intended behavior. Built in Rust, the core runtime is optimized for safety, performance, and portability, ensuring it meets high standards. Flow-Like also accommodates event-driven automation, data processing, document ingestion, and AI pipelines, which include typed agent and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows, utilizing either local or cloud-based models. Ultimately, it is crafted for developers and organizations seeking dependable automation while maintaining comprehensive control over both their data and underlying infrastructure, thereby fostering an environment of transparency and reliability.
