FlowStudio AI: the assistant that explains and fixes failed Power Automate flows
What it does
Flowra is the agent behind FlowStudio AI. Connect it to your Power Automate environment and ask:
- Why did the invoice flow fail this morning?
- Create a flow that saves email attachments to SharePoint.
- Add a second approver to the onboarding flow.
Everything Flowra reads is visible in the Power Automate portal too. The difference is time: digging through a failed run by hand is the half hour you lose every time a flow breaks, and it gets worse inside loops and child flows. Flowra reads the same run history and comes back with what broke, why, and the fix.

Flowra can read, diagnose, edit, and build. Reading never changes anything, and edits happen only after you say go.
Who it's for
Flowra is for people who want an AI agent on their flows but can't or won't run one themselves. No coding agent, or IT won't let you install one? That's Flowra: sign in with your Microsoft account and ask.
If you already run Claude, Codex, or Copilot Cowork, stop here: FlowStudio MCP plugs those agents into Power Automate, works better than Flowra, and costs less. Not sure which AI agent to use for Power Automate? Start there.
Getting set up
Go to ai.flowstudio.app and sign in with your Microsoft work account. Flowra then asks how it should connect.
Figure: Sign in with your Microsoft work account to start
Figure: Pick how Flowra connects: allow the permission, or use the browser extension if your organization blocks it
Option 1: Allow Power Automate access
Take this one if you can. Two one-time consent screens, one for Power Automate and one for Power Apps. Two screens because Microsoft handles flow connections through the Power Apps service. That is the whole setup. It is the fastest path and it keeps working with your browser closed. You get a personal workspace, and Flowra sees the flows your account can see, nothing more.
Option 2: Connect with the browser extension
Some organizations do not let individuals approve that permission. This is the way in when yours is one of them. Flowra's calls run inside your own signed-in Power Automate session, so there is nothing for an admin to approve. Pairing is a one-time job on a computer with Chrome or Edge. Once paired, you can chat from any device, phone included.
- Install the extension on your computer. It is live in the Chrome Web Store: open the FlowStudio browser extension listing and click Add to Chrome. That is the whole step. Using Edge? Our Edge Add-ons listing is still under review, so open that same link in Edge and choose Allow extensions from other stores when Edge offers it.
- Pair the extension with your key, then open Power Automate. Copy the key Flowra shows you, click the FlowStudio icon in your browser toolbar, and paste it into the popup. Paste the key first: until you do, the popup just says it is not paired. Then open make.powerautomate.com in that same browser and sign in, which is where the extension picks up your session. The popup then reads Connected. Keep that tab around; the extension works through it. The key is shown once, so if you lose it use Lost the key? Get a new one in Flowra.

- Tell Flowra you are done. Back in Flowra, click I've paired and it checks the connection. When it comes back green you are in the chat.
What it costs you: every call round-trips through your browser, which adds a second or two. If the extension is not running or that Power Automate tab is signed out, the call fails straight away and tells you to reopen it. Nothing hangs.
Changed your mind, or your admin approved the permission later? Flowra offers Prefer the standard connection? Allow Power Automate access instead, which moves the workspace over.
Either way
Flowra starts in your default Power Automate environment. Have more than one? Name it and Flowra looks there.
The trial is 14 days and 50 credits: enough for two or three full builds, or one build plus two weeks of questions and fixes. Start yours at ai.flowstudio.app.
Plans
| Trial | Solo RECOMMENDED | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | $39/mo |
| Credits | 50, over 14 days | 150 per month |
| Credit card | Not needed | At upgrade |
First month doubled. Your first paid month starts with 300 credits instead of 150.
How credits work
| What you ask for | Credits | Cost on Solo |
|---|---|---|
| A question | About 1 | A few cents |
| A fix | About 3 | Under a dollar |
| A full build, scaffolded and deployed | 12 to 23, budget 20 | Three to six dollars |
So 150 credits covers six or more builds a month, or a couple of builds plus questions and fixes all month. Compare that with hiring a specialist: one hour of their time costs more than a month of Solo. A request that is already running never gets cut off.
Credits reset on your billing date, not on the first of the calendar month. Need more before the reset? Buy a 100-credit pack for $29 any time on a paid plan.
What it can't do
Cloud flows only: Flowra does not see desktop flows (the RPA kind). Flows in a Dataverse solution: Flowra reads and diagnoses them, but edits usually have to go through the solution, so Flowra hands you the exact fix instead of applying it. And Flowra only talks Power Automate and Microsoft 365. It will not review your Python.
Your data
Conversations are stored encrypted and used only to run the service and debug problems you report. They are never used to train AI models: by default they are processed by Azure OpenAI, which does not train on customer traffic. Transcripts are deleted after 90 days. Letting us review transcripts to improve the product is opt-in and off by default. Full statement: privacy policy.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find out why my Power Automate flow failed?
Ask Flowra. It reads the run history, follows the failure through loops and child flows, and tells you what broke, why, and the fix. It is the same run data you can dig through in the portal yourself; Flowra is just faster at it.
Can AI fix a Power Automate flow?
Yes, when it can read the actual run. Flowra diagnoses from run history and applies a fix only after you say go.
Do I need a Power Automate license?
Yes. Flowra works on your flows, so you need whatever Microsoft plan gives you Power Automate today. Nothing extra on top of that: Flowra signs in as you and uses the access you already have.
It says I need admin approval. What now?
You are not stuck. On the setup screen, pick Connect with the browser extension instead. It runs Flowra's calls through your own signed-in Power Automate session, so there is nothing for an admin to approve. The four steps are in Option 2 above.
Still prefer the recommended path? Send your IT admin this page. What they are approving: delegated access only. Flowra acts as the signed-in user and sees only the flows that user can already open. Your admin can approve it for you alone or for the whole organization.
How is this different from Copilot in Power Automate?
Different job. Flowra works across your environment: it reads run history, follows a failure through loops and child flows, and edits or builds flows on your go-ahead. The trial costs nothing, so try both on your next failed flow and keep the one that finds the answer.
Is this the same as FlowStudio MCP?
Same tools, different door. MCP plugs your own agent (Claude, Codex, Copilot Cowork) into your flows, and if you have one of those, it is more capable and cheaper than Flowra. FlowStudio AI is for when you don't: Flowra is the hosted agent, no agent of your own to run.
Can Flowra break my flows?
Not without you. Reading and diagnosing never change anything. An edit happens only after you say go, and it changes the flow the same way an edit in the portal does: read what Flowra proposes before approving, like any change to a production flow. The service also blocks writes that would wipe a flow's logic.
What happens when credits run out?
You get a warning when about one build session is left. At zero on Solo, buy a 100-credit pack for $29 or wait for your reset. At zero on the trial, upgrading to Solo is the move: packs are for paid plans. Nothing already running gets cut off.
Does the trial need a credit card?
No. Sign in and start. There is no card on file, so nothing can charge you when the trial ends. Upgrading to Solo is a step you take, not something that happens to you.
How do I cancel?
Open Billing at ai.flowstudio.app: it is Stripe's standard portal, cancel there any time.
14 days. 50 credits. No credit card. Sign in and ask.
