What Google Flow Agent does
Flow Agent is a built-in conversational collaborator for brainstorming, prompt development, media generation, editing and project organization.
Google currently says:
Agent is available on web and PC.
Agent text queries do not currently cost Flow credits, but a daily query quota applies.
Media generated by Agent consumes Flow credits.
Generated media is saved to the project that is currently open.

Useful Agent jobs
Turn a high-level concept into a storyboard or prompt sequence.
Ask for multiple variations with one controlled difference.
Generate new images or videos and let Agent select a supported model.
Edit selected project media.
Rename files and group assets into a Collection.
Add project-wide instructions for recurring creative constraints.
Control credit use
By default, Agent asks before actions that use credits. Google’s settings also allow “Never” confirm, which lets Agent generate and spend credits without pausing.
For a new workflow, keep confirmation enabled. Only remove it after you understand output count, model cost and the scope of the instruction.
Use sessions deliberately
Agent conversations are saved as project-specific Sessions. You can create, rename, reopen and delete sessions. Deleting a session clears its chat history but does not remove media already generated.
Use separate sessions for unrelated briefs so project context does not become ambiguous.
Add Agent Instructions
Project instructions can store recurring behavior such as visual rules, naming conventions or review criteria. Keep instructions specific and test whether they conflict with the active prompt or visual references.
Prompt example
Turn this product brief into three 8-second shot concepts.
Keep the same product geometry and neutral studio palette.
Before generating media, show the proposed prompts, model and total credit estimate.The final sentence creates an explicit review checkpoint before spending credits.
