Frequently Asked Questions

Who FlowZap Is For

Is FlowZap for me if I'm building AI agents?

Absolutely. Although FlowZap can be used by any Business Analyst or Developper, it is designed for solopreneurs and AI builders who need to visualize agent workflows—like "trend scraper → content generator → scheduler bot"—without wrestling with Mermaid syntax or dragging boxes in Miro.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding][url:build-ai-agent] If you vibe-code in Cursor, Windsurf, Bolt, Loveable, GPT, Claude, chance are you'll hit that moment where logic branches tangle or you can't explain your multi-agent handoffs, FlowZap is your lightning fast AI sketchpad: prompt it, get dual-view diagrams (workflow + sequence), tweak the code, iterate.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding]

Where does FlowZap fit in my workflow?

Vibe coding is building fast with AI tools (Lovable, Bolt, GPT, Claude, Winsurf, Cursor, etc) by describing apps in plain English and getting instant prototypes—speed over perfection.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding] FlowZap supercharges this by visualizing the underlying process: turn a GPT outline like "viral TikTok scheduler using AI" into a flowchart with lanes for "AI Analyzer" and "Scheduler Bot," then toggle to sequence view to see timing quirks like delayed API responses killing the fun.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding] It's the creative accelerator that spots inefficiencies before your prototype crashes.

I use Cursor/Claude/Perplexity—how does FlowZap integrate?

FlowZap's MCP Server (JSON-RPC API) lets AI tools like Claude auto-generate diagrams: prompt "Design e-commerce recommendation engine workflow," Claude calls FlowZap's endpoint, and you get an editable URL with code for "Flight Search (GPT) → Hotel Matcher (Claude) → Itinerary Builder."[url:supercharge-vibe-coding][url:introducing-mcp] In Cursor, embed FlowZap code as comments to link functions to visual nodes, or paste AI browser outputs (Comet, Gemini, Dia) that auto-fill FlowZap's modal and generate diagrams in 5 seconds.[url:build-ai-agent][url:supercharge-vibe-coding]

Creative Workflows for AI Builders

How do I go from brainstorm to diagram with GPT or Perplexity?

Start in Perplexity: "Outline a viral TikTok content scheduler using AI for trend analysis." It gives steps like "scrape trends → generate captions → schedule posts." Copy-paste that into FlowZap's AI generator—boom, flowchart with "AI Analyzer," "Content Creator," "Scheduler Bot" lanes.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding] Edit the FlowZap Code to add a "human approval loop" if automation feels risky, then feed the diagram back to GPT: "Implement this FlowZap workflow in Node.js" for structured functions mirroring your visual logic.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding] No more "why did that break?" moments—you've mapped it first.

Can FlowZap help me debug multi-agent systems?

Yes. Diagram agents like "Flight Search (GPT-powered) + Hotel Matcher (Claude-optimized) + Itinerary Builder (custom logic)" with FlowZap's loops and conditionals—workflow view shows parallel paths for budget vs. luxury; sequence mode timelines API handoffs.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding] Spot a bottleneck in Claude's response time? Edit the text code, regenerate in seconds, refine in Cursor. It's a visual debugger for AI orchestrations, turning complex builds into elegant systems instead of chaotic scripts.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding]

What's a "vibe remix" session with Bolt or Lovable?

Prototype a fitness tracker in Lovable ("gamified challenges with badges"), then pipe the app's process into FlowZap via MCP: "user inputs → AI scoring → badge unlocks."[url:supercharge-vibe-coding] The sequence view reveals timing quirks like delayed badges killing engagement. Share the interactive diagram link with collaborators—they suggest tweaks in-browser, you update the code once, no Zoom explanations. Lovable handles UI; FlowZap diagrams the backend flow; Cursor polishes the logic.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding]

How do AI browsers like Comet or Dia work with FlowZap?

Paste "I'm building an AI agent—generate steps in FlowZap" into Comet's Assistant, and it auto-fills FlowZap's modal with your prompt, clicks "GENERATE FLOWZAP CODE NOW!", and returns formatted code for instant diagram viewing.[url:build-ai-agent] Gemini in Chrome or Dia parse your intent from chat context and inject steps into the modal; Genspark's Super Agent triggers generation hands-free; Fellou adapts for solo workflows.[url:build-ai-agent] It's **Prompt → Modal → Generate → Code → Diagram** automation, no manual formatting—review and tweak visually.[url:build-ai-agent]

Real Workflow Examples

Show me a concrete example for e-commerce with AI.

Vibe-coding a Shopify store in Cursor: "User signs up, AI suggests products, cart auto-fills if they vibe." Prompt FlowZap: "Onboarding flow—user enters interests, AI recommends 3 products, if confirmed auto-add to cart and email, else loop for more suggestions (max 2 retries)."[url:supercharge-vibe-coding] Get FlowZap Code with lanes for User, AI Recommender, Cart—workflow shows decision diamonds for "vibe confirmed?"; sequence timelines AI call to cart sync. Tweak for edge cases ("low stock" branch) in under 5 minutes, then code it in Cursor with the diagram as your blueprint.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding]

What about a social media automation agent?

Brainstorm in Perplexity: "TikTok scheduler scrapes trends, generates captions, posts at peak times." Drop that into FlowZap's AI generator for a flowchart with "Trend Scraper → Caption Generator → Post Scheduler → Analytics Tracker."[url:supercharge-vibe-coding] Toggle sequence view to see API delays between scraping and posting—add a retry loop if the generator times out. Export the code to GPT for Python implementation or use it as pseudo-code in Bolt for rapid prototyping.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding]

Can I map a multi-LLM workflow (GPT + Claude + custom logic)?

Yes—diagram a travel planner: "Flight Search (GPT) runs parallel to Hotel Matcher (Claude), then Itinerary Builder (your code) merges results."[url:supercharge-vibe-coding] FlowZap's workflow view shows parallel branches; sequence mode reveals if Claude's response lags. Edit loops for retries ("if flight unavailable, re-search alternate dates") and conditionals ("if budget tier, skip premium hotels"), syncing changes live across views.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding][url:one-code-two-views]

Technical Deep Dives

What is FlowZap Code and why should I care?

FlowZap Code is a lightweight DSL (LANE, NODE, LOOP fragments) that AI generates but you can edit like text—more intuitive than PlantUML, more controllable than black-box tools.[url:gemini-compares][url:one-code-two-views] For vibe coders, it's pseudo-code that renders as diagrams: embed it in Cursor as comments linking functions to nodes, version-control it in Git, or share it with clients who don't read code.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding] Example: `LOOP [retry up to 3 times] APICall ValidationCheck` becomes a visual retry arrow, no UML knowledge needed.[url:one-code-two-views]

How does the MCP Server API work for automation?

POST to `/api/mcp` with JSON like `{"method": "generate", "params": {"prompt": "map authentication retries"}}` to get a playground URL with editable code—free for 5-minute sessions, no OAuth for basics.[url:introducing-mcp] Claude Desktop users add it as a custom connector; remote AI tools curl it for diagram generation. Supports tools like `playground_session` (create temp diagrams) and `update_code` (edit existing), enabling full agent loops where LLMs refine flows iteratively.[url:introducing-mcp]

What's dual views and why is it genius for AI builders?

One FlowZap Code toggles between Workflow (horizontal task swimlanes) and Sequence (vertical interaction timelines)—edit in one, update the other instantly.[url:one-code-two-views] For multi-agent systems, workflow shows parallel GPT/Claude paths; sequence reveals API handoff delays like "Claude takes 3s to respond, killing real-time vibes." Spot it, add async handling, iterate without rebuilding.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding][url:one-code-two-views] It's bidirectional analysis for complex builds—like having X-ray vision for your agent logic.

Comparisons for AI Builders

FlowZap vs. Mermaid.js for developers?

Mermaid requires manual Markdown (`graph TD; A-->B`); FlowZap's AI writes it for you from "design onboarding flow," then lets you tweak.[url:gemini-compares] Mermaid wins for Git embeds; FlowZap wins for speed and dual views—generate a sequence diagram without memorizing syntax, perfect for prototyping in Bolt before formalizing in code.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding][url:gemini-compares]

FlowZap vs. Miro for agent workflows?

Miro is collaborative chaos—great for whiteboarding but overkill for structured agent flows. FlowZap's prompt-first generation (23 seconds to dual diagrams) beats dragging shapes post-brainstorm, with editable code for version control.[url:gemini-compares][url:supercharge-vibe-coding] Use Miro for team ideation; FlowZap for turning vague vibes into deployable logic maps that Cursor understands.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding]

Why not just use Claude to describe workflows?

Claude outputs text—FlowZap renders interactive visuals with toggleable views, loops, and decision branches that non-coders grasp.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding] Pair them: Claude designs the workflow ("onboarding with retries"), FlowZap diagrams it, you code it. The diagram becomes documentation, training material, and a debugging reference, not buried in a chat log.[url:supercharge-vibe-coding][url:introducing-mcp]
