What's new in Queue Manager

Maintenance Release

What's new

• Everything from 9.2 under a new version number. Nothing changes in how AutoFlow works

Clearer Queues & a Steadier Flow

What's new

• Queues are split into To run and Finished, and each one says where it stands: not started, paused at 3 of 10, running, or done
• Queue settings sit right under the mode picker, so you choose the model, ratio, length and run mode before you write the prompts
• Image prompts submit again on the latest Flow. A press that Flow ignored used to leave the run at "Creating #1 0%"; it now goes through, or the run stops and says so with your prompt still in the box
• Flow's Agent mode is switched off before a run. With Agent on, Flow hides the model and ratio settings, so the run could not set them

Improvements & fixes

• You stay signed in when your login renews. Opening the panel after an hour could sign you out, which also hid Frame-to-Video and Ingredients
• A Wi-Fi blip no longer signs you out
• Run now, pressed during a run, no longer adds a queue it then refuses to start
• An image counter on each prompt shows how many references it carries and how many more fit
• Plainer words across the panel, in all four languages

The Side Panel, Rethought

What's new

• Three tabs — Create, Queues and Library — with Settings and Account in the header
• Run now beside Add to Queue, and a live prompt count instead of a Parse button
• A run dock on every tab: watch a run without being pulled back to Create
• French, Spanish and Arabic across the whole panel, with Arabic laid out right to left
• A plan strip for free accounts shows what is left today and the way to Pro, and checkout carries on after you sign in

Improvements & fixes

• Every choice says what it does in a sentence underneath it
• A prompt is Waiting, Sending, Generating, Done or Failed everywhere it appears
• Frame-to-Video and Ingredients no longer disappear when your allowance can't be read; a spent allowance shows them locked instead
• The Data & Privacy section now says exactly what stays in your browser, what goes to AutoFlow and what goes to Google
• Every text color meets contrast guidelines, and nothing is smaller than 11px

Finished Queues Hand Over

What's new

• A finished queue now says it finished in every run mode, so the next queue in a chain starts on its own instead of waiting at 3 of 3
• Usage counts what Flow actually received, retries and extends included, even with the panel closed
• Every daily limit opens the same upgrade dialog, with the price and what is blocked right now

Improvements & fixes

• A backup server keeps AutoFlow working if the main one can't be reached
• Requests give up after a deadline instead of spinning forever

Works With the New Google Flow

What's new

• Supports Flow's new address, flow.google.com. The panel had said Flow was closed while it was open on screen
• Fixes "Could not switch Flow to Image mode" on the redesigned Flow
• Finds Omni 1.1 Flash under its new name, and will keep finding models when Flow adds a version number

Ask AI & New Studio Templates

What's new

• Ask AI: ChatGPT writes the prompt for a step, from a toolbar button of its own
• Templates: Water Wipeouts and ASMR styrofoam carving, with artwork on the template cards
• A finished clip can hand its last frame to the next step
• References are captured when a step runs, and a failed step can be retried

Pro Activates Every Time

What's new

• Upgrading to Pro now opens checkout with your AutoFlow email already filled in and locked. The field used to arrive empty, so the browser could autofill a different address — and paying under an address that wasn't your AutoFlow one meant Pro never switched on
• Subscribed before creating an AutoFlow account? Your account is now created the moment payment clears, with Pro already active, and you get an email with a code to set your password. Previously that subscription had nothing to attach itself to and simply sat unused

Improvements & fixes

• Choosing Upgrade while signed out now takes you to sign-in instead of straight to a payment form, so a purchase can't end up belonging to nobody
• The Upgrade button on the pricing page goes through the same protected checkout as the extension

Studio Reliability & Full-Size Viewer

What's new

• Multi-step workflows now run all the way through — previously only the first generation succeeded and every node after it failed to switch between Image and Video mode
• Long video generations survive — Studio now keeps the extension awake during a run, so 10-second clips no longer lose their connection partway through a series
• Full-size viewer — click any reference or result to open it at full size, videos included, with playback controls
• Exercise Series template — one character reference becomes four exercise storyboards and four 10-second vertical clips, with the mascot reference included
• Two more templates: Triple Lock (separate face, outfit and scene references) and Product UGC (put a model in your own product photo)

Improvements & fixes

• Reference images and results are no longer cropped in the node — a tall portrait previously had 45% of itself cut off, including the subject's head
• The Flow settings panel now closes reliably after each step instead of staying open over the prompt box
• A generation that takes longer than expected no longer reports as failed — it says the work may still be running so you don't re-run it needlessly
• Video nodes get a longer completion window than image nodes, matching how long each actually takes
• Every template's reference slots are now labelled with their role (face, outfit, scene, product)
• Template gallery search and category filters work; previously they were decorative

AutoFlow Studio — Visual Workflow Builder

What's new

• AutoFlow Studio — build workflows on a canvas instead of a list. Connect a prompt to a generation, feed that result into the next one, and run the whole chain in a single click
• 12 ready-made workflows with working example prompts — UGC product ads, character sheets, virtual try-on, B-roll packs and more, so there is nothing to write before your first run
• Character consistency — generate a character sheet once, then reuse it as a reference so the same face carries across every shot
• Multi-reference generation — lock face, outfit and scene with separate reference images, so a new outfit no longer quietly changes the face
• ChatGPT workflows — design an image on ChatGPT, then animate it on Google Flow in the same run
• Save, reload, import and export workflows, with autosave so closing the window no longer loses work

Improvements & fixes

• Reference images now reach the generator — image connections drawn on the canvas were previously ignored, so character references had no effect
• Generated results now preview inside each node instead of showing a broken thumbnail
• Model lists corrected — the picker offered names that do not exist on Flow ("Veo 3", "Imagen 4 Ultra"), which silently fell back to whichever model was already selected
• 10-second clips selectable on every video node
• Image → Video switching made reliable in multi-step workflows; the run now stops with a clear message rather than generating the wrong media type
• Studio opens your Flow project, or a ChatGPT tab, automatically when one is not already open
• Removed the forced page reload that hit every Google Flow visit
• Free plan includes 15 Studio runs per month and workflows up to 5 nodes; Pro is unlimited
• No API key is embedded in the extension any more — AI Assist now uses your own free Gemini key

Instagram Extractor Fix & Smart Retry Engine

What's new

• Instagram Extractor resilience — restricted and private Instagram posts now return clear, user-friendly error messages instead of raw technical errors
• Smart retry engine — failed generations now click the DOM retry button (up to 3 attempts) instead of re-submitting the entire prompt, saving time and credits
• Whop email mismatch prevention — a visible warning on registration and upgrade buttons reminds users to use the same email on Whop and AutoFlow for automatic Pro activation

Improvements & fixes

• Increased MAX_RETRIES to 3 with a new VERIFY_MAX_RETRIES constant for finer retry control
• MediaID capture reliability improved during the verification loop
• Backend now categorizes Instagram errors into 'Restricted Content' vs 'Server Block' with actionable guidance
• Upgrade button shows a confirmation alert before redirecting to Whop checkout

Official v4.0 Production Release

What's new

• Major version release for the AutoFlow Chrome extension
• Clean zip packaging for Chrome Web Store and direct site downloads

Improvements & fixes

• Upgraded manifest and package versioning configurations

Cancelled Video Rescue & API Verification Fix

What's new

• Fake Cancel Rescue — cancelled videos that actually exist on Google's CDN are now automatically detected and saved instead of being re-submitted or lost
• CSP-Safe API Checking — rewrote the active status check to work with Google's Content Security Policy, fixing the 'API credentials not captured' timeout that broke verification
• Universal DOM Tiebreaker — when the API cache shows stale 'generating' status but tiles are already settled, the bot now immediately routes to recovery in all modes (previously Full mode was stuck looping)

Improvements & fixes

• CDN URL verification now runs on both 'no API data' and 'no retry button' paths, catching all fake cancel scenarios
• Race condition fix between API cache updates and status check responses using cache confirmation polling
• Verification rounds resolve in 1–2 rounds instead of looping through all 12 when tiles are already settled

Stuck Wait Loop Fix & Scroll Optimization

What's new

• Robust Tag-Agnostic Icon Detection — updated generation tile parsing to support new Google Flow span elements, preventing completed items from getting falsely stuck in generating status.
• Grid Scroll Optimization — wait loop now checks settles status directly via DOM and performs scroll confirmations exactly once, eliminating continuous scrolling.
• Recovery Scan Optimization — removed redundant page scrolling blocks from recovery scan, cutting recovery checking time in half.

Improvements & fixes

• Bundled build optimizations and bumped manifest version to 3.5 for Chrome Web Store publishing.

Zero-Intervention Reliability & CORS Resolution

What's new

• Safety Policy Failures Classification — automatically identifies policy and safety blocks to instantly skip them without wasting retries
• Exact Failure Reasons — sidepanel's Failed Generations section now displays the specific reason why a prompt failed (e.g. policy violations or server errors) alongside its text
• CORS Redirect Bypass — redesigned network media verification using manual redirect tracking, resolving Chrome extension cross-origin blockages

Improvements & fixes

• Stuck queue mitigation — 30-second API staleness detector triggers active refreshes and DOM tiebreakers to prevent queue stagnation
• Automated queue-to-download pipeline robustness enhancements

Omni Flash Model & Duration Controls

What's new

• Omni Flash model support — Google's new high-speed video generation model is now fully integrated
• 10-second video clips — available exclusively with Omni Flash for longer, richer generations
• Duration selector on queue cards — change clip length directly from each queue without opening Settings
• Run button on every queue — run any queue instantly, not just the first one in the list

Improvements & fixes

• Updated model list across Settings and queue cards to match latest Google Flow lineup
• Scheduling UI temporarily removed while being redesigned for a better experience
• Library scanner now correctly detects and labels Omni Flash-generated assets
• Model selector in automation engine recognizes Omni as a new model family

• Review Reward system — get free Pro by leaving a Chrome Web Store review
• Smart eligibility gate — reward CTA only appears when you hit your daily limit
• Limit dialog now shows 'Get Free Pro' option alongside upgrade

Improvements & fixes

• More accurate prompt tracking for mixed content queues
• Backend pre-consumption splits text/image credits atomically

Analytics & Usage Tracking Overhaul

What's new

• Per-prompt type counting — each prompt in a queue is individually classified
• Usage analytics now based on actual execution events, not reserved quotas
• Enhanced admin dashboard with real-time metrics

Improvements & fixes

• Fixed mixed queues being reported as single type
• Improved reliability of queue consumption tracking

Browser Notifications & Queue Improvements

What's new

• Browser notifications when queues complete or fail
• Notification sound toggle in settings
• Click notification to focus the active Flow tab
• Extend feature for Text-to-Video and Ingredients modes

Improvements & fixes

What's new

• Prompt Extractor — reverse-engineer prompts from any AI video
• Auto-scan library after queue completion
• Batch download with quality selection (720p, 1080p, 4K)
• Re-prompt dialog for failed generations

Improvements & fixes

• Faster library scanning with grouped assets
• Better error messages for generation failures

Multi-Queue & Character Libraries

What's new
