Two ways to build. One FlutterFlow.

Wed, Nov 4

Hey FlutterFlow community!

Today we're launching a new, AI-first way to build with FlutterFlow. With it, the visual builder you’ve been using gets a new name: FlutterFlow Studio.

The most important part first: Studio isn't going away, and it isn't being replaced. Your existing projects and workflows aren't changing. You can keep building in the visual environment you know.

The team and support behind Studio aren't changing either, and we're continuing to invest in it. While building the new FlutterFlow, we've continued shipping improvements to Studio, from features requested through You Ask, We Build to Dynamic Links and the in-app agent.

And finally, your subscription and packaging is not changing - starting today, your existing subscription gives you access to both FlutterFlow and FlutterFlow Studio.

What's new: two ways to build

FlutterFlow is our new AI-first experience. Describe what you want to build, and an agent handles the implementation while you guide the result. Build for iOS and Android from a single project, with backend, analytics, and app store deployment built in.

FlutterFlow Studio is the visual development environment you already know. Design your interface, control your app's logic and data, and extend it with custom code. Build for iOS, Android, and web, with AI to help along the way.

Neither replaces the other. They're two different ways of building, and the choice is about how you like to work, not your skill level.

Why we built it

Over the past year, more and more people came to FlutterFlow looking for a conversational way to build. They wanted to describe an idea in a prompt, and keep prompting for every change after that.

Studio is an incredibly powerful visual builder, but it wasn't designed for a prompt-first workflow. We could have tried to retrofit that experience into Studio. But doing so would have meant changing the foundations of the product people already rely on. Some builders want to work through prompts. Others want to control every detail directly. Both deserve a product designed around the way they build.

So we built the new experience from the ground up.

What this means for you as a Studio builder

We know how this could sound. When Dreamflow launched, many of you felt FlutterFlow got less attention, and you told us so. We heard that, and we're not repeating it.

  • Nothing changes in how Studio works. Same builder, same projects, same workflows. Only the name is new.

  • We're still investing in Studio. We'll keep improving the visual builder, expanding what it can do and bringing more AI into it, including the in-app agent that helps you build and make changes directly in Studio.

  • Your plan covers both. You can try the new FlutterFlow on your existing Studio plan.

  • You'll keep hearing from us. We'll share Studio updates alongside updates to the new FlutterFlow, not instead of them.

Quick answers

Do I need to move my projects? No. Your existing projects stay in Studio.

Do I need to learn a new builder? No. You can keep working in Studio as you do today.

Is Studio being replaced or discontinued? No. Studio is an actively developed product.

Can I move a Studio project into the new FlutterFlow? No. The new FlutterFlow runs on a different architecture built specifically for AI-first development.

Should I switch? Only if you want to try a more prompt-based way of building. If you like designing visually and refining every detail, Studio is built for you.

Can I use the new FlutterFlow on my current plan? Yes - check out our pricing page for more information.

You can explore the new FlutterFlow at build.flutterflow.io or keep building in Studio. We'd love to hear your questions, concerns, and feedback in the comments. We'll be reading and responding.

Thank you for building with us.

Happy building,
Abel & Alex
