Create & manage Tools in Google Flow

Build custom, reusable tools and mini-apps using natural language in Google Flow. You can share Tools publicly and add shared Tools to your library. Google Flow also comes with a preset of Tools supplied by Google.

Important:

• Tools are currently available on web & PC only.
• Media generated through Tools uses your Google Flow credits. If running a tool might use credits, Google Flow will always display a warning banner.
• All media generated by a Tool is automatically saved to the project you currently have open.
• Agent queries do not currently cost Google Flow credits,. However, there is a daily quota on how many Tools you can create.
