Google Drive, Actions in Techniques & FAUNA Skills
This release connects FLORA to your Google Drive, brings Actions into Techniques for fully programmable reusable workflows, and gives FAUNA the ability to learn custom skills and run Actions autonomously. Plus a wave of new models, format support, and performance upgrades across the board.
📦 New
Google Drive integration
Upload assets directly from your Google Drive into any FLORA project.
MoreLess
Connect your Google account once, then browse and pull in files without leaving the canvas.
Actions in Techniques
Actions (code nodes) now work inside Techniques.
MoreLess
Build techniques that include custom code steps, execute them end-to-end, and inspect the full workflow graph from the technique viewer. This unlocks fully programmable, shareable workflows.
FAUNA User Skills
Teach FAUNA custom skills tailored to your workflow.
MoreLess
Create reusable instructions that FAUNA can call on whenever you need them, so your AI assistant learns how you work.
FAUNA runs Actions
FAUNA can now discover, place, and execute prebuilt Actions on the canvas autonomously.
MoreLess
Ask FAUNA to split audio from a video or merge tracks, and it wires up the right Action node for you.
New models in FAUNA
Opus 4.7, Opus 4.6 Fast, GPT 5.5, and GPT 5.5 Fast are now available.
MoreLess
The model picker has moved to the chat header for faster switching between conversations.
Document Node upgrades
Document nodes now support target-aware outputs, a fullscreen editing mode, and thumbnail previews, making them much more useful for text-heavy workflows.
Kling Pro 4K
Kling Pro video models now route to the 4K endpoint when you select 4K resolution, delivering cinema-quality output.
Creatify & Mirelo model trainers
Two new model training options for fine-tuning custom models.
🧠 Improved
HEIC, HEIF & AVIF uploads
Upload images in Apple's native formats directly.
MoreLess
No more converting files before importing them into FLORA.
@Mentions in Technique Builder
Reference other nodes with @ when editing technique descriptions, bringing the same wiring convenience from prompts into the builder.
Technique publish dialog
A new success dialog after publishing shows app link share controls, making it easier to share your techniques with the community.
Concat Text: Wrap Each Part
A new toggle lets you add prefix and suffix text around each part individually, useful for structured prompt assembly.
Canvas performance
Magnet handles and edge updates now bypass React for significantly smoother dragging and connecting on large canvases.
MoreLess
Tooltip rendering is consolidated into a single provider, cutting overhead across the board.
Code execution speed
Action node workflows consolidated from 12 steps to 3 on the happy path, making code-based nodes noticeably faster.
FAUNA response speed
End-of-turn processing cut from ~10 steps to 2, so FAUNA finishes its work and hands back control faster.
🛠 Fixes
