Introducing Techniques: AI creative workflows built by real professionals

Most AI creative tools are built for the superficial one-shot moment. There's no through-line, no system, no way to make the output actually yours. Just a feed of impressive things that all start looking identical after a while. That's not a creative tool. That's a vending machine.

FLORA was built to be useful. That's why we built Techniques, launching today.

Techniques are ready-to-run creative workflows. Just drop in your inputs, get a real output. The difference from every other app in the space is who built it and how: each one is made by a designer, director, or creative technologist who's solved this exact problem professionally, with their process, constraints, and creative decisions already baked in. You're not prompting a model and hoping. You're running a system that someone already proved works.

We're launching today with Techniques across brand, product visualization, fashion, film/VFX, marketing, and more, all built by designers, directors, and creative technologists who are genuinely excellent at what they do.

That means different things depending on what you're making: 

• If you're in pre-production, Video Scene Builder by Phil Franco (AI Did That!) lets you compose video scenes from still assets, compressing a multi-step concepting process into something you can run, evaluate, and iterate on in minutes. Cinematic Movie Stills by Ariel Alejandro Ibañez (Superside) does the same for scene stills: you get film-quality outputs fast enough to actually use as references in a brief, not just aspirational mood board material.

• If you’re in post-production or VRX, Segment Mapper by Kyle Spiker (Netflix) color-codes every element in an image, eliminating hours of manual work.

• If you're earlier in the process and trying to find a direction, Art Director's Critique by Lucas Crespo (Every) analyzes and redesigns your creative work. It's one of the more unusual techniques in the library as it's built around evaluation, not traditional generation. 

• If you're just looking to explore without a brief in hand, Base Design's Tarot Pull generates custom illustrated tarot card readings.  It sounds like a fun party trick until you see the output quality and realize it's a masterclass in consistent visual language across generative variation.

Every Technique works as a standalone app or as a component in your FLORA canvas. You can run it once or as many times as you want. For “open” Techniques, you can view the underlying workflow, modify any part of it, or pull a single node into something you're already building. Techniques are designed to fit into how you actually work, not replace it.

New Techniques will be launching every week, across every category.
