Flow AutoKuak

Batches of prompts in Google Flow, plus a generator running on Kuak Studio credits in the same panel.

What it does and who it’s for

Google Flow generates well, but one at a time. A batch of thirty shots means the same gesture thirty times: paste, wait, open the menu, download, rename. And if you look away, the download keeps whatever quality was selected.

Flow AutoKuak runs that path inside the Flow project itself. It turns off Agent mode — which redirects the prompt into a conversation — locks in the generator you picked, sends each prompt once the previous one is done, and downloads at the quality you asked for, with your filename and folder.

And since the account is the same as Kuak Studio’s, the panel also carries its own generator: if Flow won’t let you do something, or you’d rather spend credits than your Flow allowance, you order the video or image right there and open it later in the editor.

How to use it

1

Open a Flow project

The extension works inside a labs.google/flow project. If you’re in Flow but not in a project the panel says so, and unlocks by itself as soon as you open one.
2

Load the prompts

“Paste manually”, with a blank line between prompts, or “From a tab”, cutting between two text markers in another open tab.
3

Pick the Flow options

Generator (Veo 3.1 Quality, Fast or Lite; Nano Banana Pro, 2 or 2 Lite; Omni Flash), aspect, number of outputs per prompt, and download quality.
4

Set up downloads

Destination folder, filename prefix and automatic renaming (prefix plus number, or numbers only) with the counter starting where you say.
5

Press Start

The panel switches to the run view with each prompt’s state, the generation percentage, the estimate and the groups still pending. “■ Stop” cuts it off whenever you want.
6

Or switch to “Generate”

The panel’s other tab orders video or images from the Kuak Studio engine: pick model, format, resolution, duration and how many, see the credit cost before confirming, then download the result or open it in the editor.

Everything it can do

Automation in Flow

Agent mode turned off first Flow turns it on by default and diverts the prompt into a conversation. The extension turns it off and checks it stayed off.
Seven generators Video: Veo 3.1 Quality, Veo 3.1 Fast, Veo 3.1 Lite and Omni Flash. Image: Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana 2 Lite.
Aspect per generator For video, 16:9 and 9:16. For images, also 4:3, 1:1 and 3:4.
Outputs per prompt How many results you want Flow to generate from each prompt.
Text → image With an image generator, the whole batch produces images instead of clips.

Prompts and groups

Paste manually or read from another tab From ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, X or Labs, cutting between two delimiters.
List range From prompt #N to #M, or to the end.
Queued groups Each group with its own mode, Flow options and downloads; they run one after another.
Saved settings groups Up to five reusable settings bundles, identified by colour.
Modes per group Text only, Image + text (the same image on all of them) or Sequence (one image per prompt, in order).

Downloads

Quality chosen per group 270p, 720p, 1080p or 4K.
Notice if your Flow plan falls short It downloads at the best quality your account allows and the panel tells you which you asked for and which was used.
Folder, prefix and renaming Per group, with a sequential counter starting where you say.

Generate with Studio credits

Video and images Two tabs inside “Generate”, each with its own models.
Cost before you confirm The price is worked out by the server that charges, not the browser; if it rises while you decide, the job is refused and nothing is charged.
The job lives on the server Switching modes or closing the panel doesn’t stop it: when you come back, the panel picks it up where it was.
Balance and queue in sight Credits show on the tab itself, even while you’re in “Automation”.
Download or open in the editor Each result downloads from the panel or opens in Kuak Studio to edit.
Refund on failure If a job doesn’t finish, the credits go back to your balance and the panel says so.

While it runs

Generation percentage Beyond the state, the panel shows how far along the current clip or image is.
Estimated time Per group and total, from how long the previous prompts are actually taking.
Editable queue Groups that haven’t started can be pulled from the queue without stopping the batch.
Prompt counter How many you’ve used in your 24-hour window and when it resets.

The panel’s two modes

The mode bar sits on the main screen and disappears on its own when a run starts. The panel always opens in “Automation”.

Automation

The usual four steps: source, prompts, preview and groups. It works on your Flow project with your Google account and your Flow allowance.

Generate

The Kuak Studio generator inside the panel. It spends your Kuak account credits, not your Flow allowance, and requires signing in.

Text only

Group mode: sends each prompt as plain text, with nothing attached.

Image + text

Group mode: the same image goes with every prompt in the group.

Sequence

Group mode: a different image per prompt, in order, warning you if there are too many or too few.

With Kuak Studio

The panel’s “Generate” tab is the Kuak Studio generator embedded in Flow: same account, same credit balance and the same models as in the editor.

It requires signing in: it spends credits, so there’s no anonymous path.
The cost comes from the same server that charges, and every job carries a key that prevents double charging if the network drops.
Results open in Kuak Studio to drop into the timeline.
If you run out, “Get more credits” takes you to the plans with your session already recognised.

Open Kuak Studio

What’s free and what isn’t

Automation prompts are counted per tool over a rolling 24-hour window. The “Generate” tab spends no prompts: it spends Kuak Studio credits.

What	No account	Free account	Pro plan
Prompts to Flow	15 per 24 h	30 per 24 h	Unlimited
Automatic download and renaming	Yes	Yes	Yes
“Generate” tab	Account needed	On your credits	On your credits

The prompt allowance is the extension’s, not Google Flow’s: what Flow lets you generate depends on your account there. Each tool in the suite has its own counter.

See all plans

What it needs and what data leaves your machine

Chrome 116 or later (any Chromium-based browser works too).
It acts on labs.google, and reads prompts from chatgpt.com, claude.ai, gemini.google.com, grok.com and x.com when you choose “From a tab”.
The automation’s prompts, images and videos go from your browser to Google Flow. They don’t pass through any Kuak server.
In the “Generate” tab they do: the job is handled by the Kuak Studio engine, because that is what you’re paying for with credits.
Groups, images and settings are stored in Chrome’s local storage.
It never asks for or stores your Google password: it uses the session already open.

What changed

1.1.9 Current

The panel always opens in “Automation”, even if you left it on “Generate” last time.
The credit balance is read from the server after each job, with no polling loops.

1.1.0

“Generate” tab: video and images on Kuak Studio credits, with the cost visible and a refund if the job fails.
A notice when your Flow plan doesn’t allow the requested download quality, saying what was used instead.

1.0.0

Support for Flow’s new interface: Agent mode is turned off before starting and the generator is set from the panel.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between “Automation” and “Generate”?

Automation uses Google Flow with your Google account and your allowance there. Generate uses the Kuak Studio engine and your credits. The first costs no credits; the second doesn’t touch your Flow allowance.

Why does it turn off Agent mode?

Flow ships it on, and with the agent active the prompt goes into a conversation instead of the generator. The extension turns it off at start and checks it stayed off.

Can I download in 4K?

If your Flow plan allows it, yes. If not, it downloads at the best available quality and the panel tells you what you asked for and what was used, without stopping the batch.

Does a “Generate” job stop if I close the panel?

No. That job runs on the server: you can close the panel or switch modes, and when you return you’ll see it where it was.

Which generators can I choose?

For video, Veo 3.1 Quality, Fast and Lite, and Omni Flash. For images, Nano Banana Pro, Nano Banana 2 and Nano Banana 2 Lite. These are what Flow offers.

How many prompts can I send?

Without an account, 15 per 24 hours. With a free account, 30. With Pro, unlimited. The counter belongs to Flow AutoKuak.

Do I need a paid Google Flow account?

For automation, whichever you already use in Flow. The “Generate” tab doesn’t need it: there you generate on your Kuak Studio credits.
