TongFlow is an open-source tool for building multimodal AI workflows on a visual canvas. Workflows can add, transform, combine, split and batch text, images, audio, video, 3D and documents, with compatible models switchable without rebuilding the workflow. Listed capabilities include text-to-video, image-to-video and AI avatars, and commercial use is supported. Users can self-host or use TongFlow Cloud through a browser or desktop app for macOS and Windows; the desktop app opens the cloud workspace and requires an internet connection. Running a workflow depends on compatible plugins and credentials for the selected providers. Self-Host is free forever. TongFlow Cloud costs $2.99 a month and includes managed hosting, per-user data isolation and encrypted credentials. New cloud accounts receive seven days without a card; eligible first-time subscribers can then start a separate seven-day trial that requires a card. Model API and GPU compute charges are billed separately by connected providers, and TongFlow does not sell generation credits. Self-hosted workflows and materials are stored locally, with no telemetry to project authors according to the privacy policy.
