Flowable 2025.2: Your command bridge in the age of governed agentic automation

Flowable Platform Release 2025.2: A supercharged Flowable AI Studio

AI is already inside your workflows. That makes work faster — and riskier.

Most enterprises are fighting what we see as the complexity vortex: fragmented AI tools, shadow agents, compliance gaps, and decisions happening in places no one can effectively see, standardize, or optimize. The harder you try to control it, the more it stalls innovation.

Flowable 2025.2 cuts through that vortex by giving you the Command Bridge your operations need: for the ability to move fast with the confidence of full control.

This release brings AI agents deeper into your processes, and ensures they operate with the visibility, explainability, and guardrails production-grade enterprise work demands. You get tangible command over your digital enterprise — and the AI and agents driving its evolution.

Governed multi-agent orchestration: Your AI agents report to the bridge without vendor lock-in

One major way your enterprise can enter a vortex of complexity across its tech suite is through vendor lock-in disguised as innovation. Alongside AI silos, lock-in is the biggest risk to your long-term AI strategy and can freeze all of your work automation when change is needed.

Most AI platforms quietly trap you: one framework, one provider, one future you didn't choose. If procurement asks about vendor flexibility or architecture asks about interoperability, the answer in that situation is too often silence.

Flowable 2025.2 supports external agents via the A2A specification, meaning you can orchestrate agents from different vendors, frameworks, and tools under one master layer without rebuilding your architecture every time the AI landscape shifts.

Why this matters for the command bridge of your business and leading its operations:

• You control the crew: when AI integration frameworks are a core part of your own set up, you avoid intelligence silos, and can swap agents, add capabilities, or change LLM providers without re-architecting

• Procurement and security are onboard: because lock-in concerns disappear

• Multi-agent collaboration becomes practical: as fragile point-to-point integrations are ironed out and strengthened with orchestration — agents from AWS Bedrock, Azure, Salesforce, and others coordinate under one governed layer. Which makes incremental AI adoption possible, and secure.

Enabling AI agent actions with added customization

New tools for AI agents mean your integrations can retrieve data, call APIs, trigger actions, and call & collaborate with other agents and services within workflow builds.

Your AI takes a huge step away from generating suggestions to executing decisions under human oversight.

With increased agent ability for modeling, Flowable ensures you can swap LLM providers or upgrade your AI models for the best option at any point in time — without breaking your existing production workflows.

AI that understands your workflows: Context-aware assistance across design

One of the biggest hidden costs in regulated operations is time-to-change: the fear that modifying one workflow will break compliance or runtime elsewhere with a domino effect.

In enterprise workflows, this fear paralyzes modernization. Policy updates sit in backlogs. Audit findings take weeks to remediate. Teams avoid touching ‘working models’ because the impact radius is tough to know.

Flowable 2025.2 introduces AI Chat directly inside Design for everywhere models need building: across process, case, decision, form, service, and agent editors. Instead of manually hunting through dependencies, firefighting after the fact, or worse: inaction, you can now prompt changes that AI assists developers to apply, contextually and consistently.

• New modelers become productive faster: modelers are empowered with AI assistance that democratizes complex automation work

• Senior modelers move faster with less risk: dev speed and confidence is raised across the board

• Workload spread is optimized: your dependency strain on a handful of senior experts and modelers is reduced

On-demand impact analysis: AI Chat is now in App Overview

Combined with AI Chat in App Overview, your teams gain: impact analysis while planning changes, before committing.

This is the command bridge in action: providing a radar for automation modeling that shows you what's ahead before you navigate into it when building workflows.

Risk reduction enables your modeling speed

Change becomes safer. Dependencies become visible. And teams move automation with confidence.

Eliminating:

• Over testing

• Over-cautious releases

• Or worse: risky changes pushed late

Your radar to show the full spectrum of AI behavior: Governance through visibility

Most AI initiatives are still held back due to lack of explainability.

When you ask "why did the AI do that? ... Can we prove this decision was compliant?” or finance asks "what is this costing us?" clear analysis is limited. Without answers, AI stays in pilot purgatory — where expansion is desired but not trusted. Flowable 2025.2 introduces agent governance and visibility upgrades that give your command bridge the oversight it needs:

• Timeline views of every agent request, response, LLM call, and tool invocation

• Token usage and invocation counts per agent definition for cost transparency

• Audit trails that prove how decisions were contextual, governed, and compliant

This brings more governance for leaders. Compliance teams can approve AI adoption confidently. Finance teams can budget intelligently. Operations teams can debug without guesswork. Visibility is what transforms your AI into an operational asset under control. You gain the proof and control that AI and AI agents operate within desired boundaries.

Human-in-the-loop practicality: Automatic AI agent invoking and action completions

Flowable 2025.2 introduces a new AI form button element that lets frontline teams invoke agents how and when needed. Caseworkers, underwriters, and service teams can request AI assistance — summarization, risk assessment, next-best-action suggestions — with control of the final decision directly inside a form.

This shifts workloads for your teams from manual data hunting to expert validation.

AI assists, humans decide, and the audit trail remains clear.

Combined with exceptionally stable runtime behavior thanks to Flowable enabling non-transactional agent task execution, long-running AI calls are no longer a risk to block database transactions or create cascading failures. AI becomes even more scalable while deploying across core workflows.

IT teams regain confidence. Operations avoid "AI caused an outage" incidents. The command bridge stays stable even when agents operate at scale.

AI prompts that scale across the fleet: Enterprise-ready reliability

Brittle prompts across automated work can create operational debt that feeds the complexity vortex. Inconsistent behavior. Manual rework. Hidden failures caused by inaccuracy.

Flowable 2025.2 brings prompt robustness upgrades for your workflows that make AI behavior predictable and production-ready:

• Tenant and app variables in prompts for consistent behavior across environments and scale. That means AI instructions automatically adapt to different regions, departments, or business units without teams rewriting prompts individually. One template works everywhere: your German subsidiary gets German compliance rules, your UK office; UK rules, from the same AI model.

• File format transformation when sending documents to LLMs. Different LLMs often struggle to read complex file types like Excel or certain PDFs. Flowable now automatically converts these into a format your AI understands (like Markdown or plain text) before sending them. This means you can drop a spreadsheet into a form and the AI can see the rows and columns on the first go to analyze them correctly every time.

• Lifecycle housekeeping for agent instance data to prevent memory bloat and automate compliance. Bulky AI instance logs associated with deleted data are cleared out automatically to optimize privacy compliance and clean databases and storage with scaled AI use, optimizing spend and performance.

With Flowable, AI is integrated with the same governed, reusable systems that scale your processes across teams, cases, and geographies so it's also a key part of your operational excellence.
