PRELAUNCH RESEARCH · GRUNT VS. FLOWISE
Keep the goal. Simplify what comes next.
Grunt is prelaunch. Live service is paused, and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. Grunt descriptions below express product direction and illustrative workflows, not available features, plan entitlements, or measured advantages over Flowise.
Flowise has announced the end of its active development and official support. If you used it to get recurring work done, this is a chance to start from that job—with ready-made tasks instead of another AI application to maintain.

BEYOND FINDING ANOTHER CANVAS
The flow was a means to an end.
Flowise’s published timeline ended official core-team support on August 31, 2026. Its source code remains available to fork. Keeping a fork also means choosing who will maintain it.
Before rebuilding the same AI stack elsewhere, ask what you needed from it. If the answer is a brief, a draft, or a repeatable office task, Grunt offers a task-first route. Keep the goal and configure supported steps around it.
Let the task handle AI setup
Grunt owns the prompts and model choices within its steps.

Grunt’s column describes its intended approach. Verify current capabilities, plans, and availability with each provider.
| What matters to you | Grunt Intended approach | Flowise |
|---|---|---|
| Starting again | Recreate a supported job from tasks and sources. | Keep or fork the Flowise code and maintain the application. |
| AI configuration | Prompts and model choices handled inside each task. | Chatflows and agent flows with model, tool, and retrieval configuration. |
| Portability | A new workflow; no automatic Flowise migration. | The published source remains available under its license. |

CONSIDERING FLOWISE?
A few things worth knowing.
Grunt answers describe the intended experience. Live availability and plan entitlements remain pending.
What has Flowise actually announced?
Its official notice lists a July 29, 2026 code freeze, August 10 repository archival, and August 31 end of official core-team support. The Apache 2.0 source remains available. The notice is linked below.
Can I upload my Flowise export to Grunt?
No automatic import is available. Rebuild the supported task around its sources, desired output, and approval points, then check that it meets your needs.
What if I built an embedded chatbot?
An embedded AI app is a different requirement from a recurring task. Grunt is aimed at getting business work done, rather than replacing every Flowise app or chat interface.
