Support
Something not working?
Flowkite has no support desk, because it has no company behind it. What it has is a public issue tracker where the maintainer and other users answer, and a short list of the things that go wrong most often.
Where to ask
- A question, or an idea — Discussions. Best place to start if you are not sure whether something is broken or just unfamiliar.
- Something is broken — Issues. Include your browser version, which model provider you use, and what the side panel said. Never paste your API key.
- A security problem — follow SECURITY.md rather than opening a public issue.
The usual suspects
"OpenAI rejected that key"
The key is checked with your provider before it is stored, so this message means the provider itself said no, not that Flowkite mis-read it. Copy the key again from your provider's dashboard: the common causes are a missing character at either end, a key that was revoked, or a project key pasted into a different account.
Ollama: "nothing answered at that address"
Ollama refuses requests from browser extensions until you tell it they are welcome. Start it with the extension's origin allowed:
OLLAMA_ORIGINS="chrome-extension://*" ollama serve
Then check the address in the panel matches where it is listening, normally
http://localhost:11434.
"Flowkite started debugging this browser"
That banner is Chrome's, and it is telling you the truth: Flowkite drives the page through the DevTools protocol, because clicks synthesised by an ordinary content script are rejected by many sites and fail on exactly the forms people want automated. It appears while a task runs and goes when the task ends. Closing it yourself stops the task, which is the point of it being there.
The panel will not take a task
It opens once a model is configured. Paste a key in the panel itself and press Save and start; the Planner and Navigator are pointed at your provider automatically. If it still refuses, open Options → Models and check a model is selected for each of them.
Updating a sideloaded build
Download the new zip from the
releases page, unzip it
over the old folder, then press Reload on the Flowkite card at
chrome://extensions. Your providers, history and settings survive the swap.
What we cannot help with
Your model provider's bill, quota or outage. Flowkite has no server and no account: your key talks straight to the provider you chose, so anything about spending, rate limits or a model being down belongs in their dashboard, not here.
