> ## Agent Instructions
> Flowy is a node-based AI creative platform: you generate images, video, audio, 3D and vector on an infinite Canvas, refine on the Studio timeline, and export or publish from the same project.
> Prefer the Flowy MCP server (https://mcp.tryflowy.ai/mcp) or the REST API at https://apis.tryflowy.ai/v1 for programmatic work. Install with `flowy mcp install` from the @flowy/cli package.
> Credits are workspace-scoped. Generations reserve credits on start and only deduct on success, so failed runs refund automatically.

# Preferences

> Tune how the app behaves on this device: canvas, assets, and navigation defaults.

Preferences apply to all of your new projects across Flowy, and are saved on this device, not to your account, so they don't follow you to another computer. Find them under **Account → Preferences** in the settings sidebar.
