Hi all,
I've been building FlowPilot, a plugin that adds an AI assistant to the Node-RED editor sidebar. It helps you build, modify, understand, and document flows using any OpenAI-compatible API, so you can run it against a cloud model or a fully local/private one (LocalAI, Ollama, etc.) if you'd rather your flows never leave your environment.
My organization has deployed FlowPilot and is already using it with local AI. I also run it in my home lab on a DGX Spark.
FlowPilot keeps you in control: every change is presented as a diff for review before anything is applied, and nothing happens without your approval. It's been tested on both Node-RED 4.x and 5.x.
Install from Manage Palette (search for "FlowPilot"), or via npm:
npm install @manny-est/node-red-flowpilot
Source code, documentation, and issue tracking are available on GitHub:
It's free and open source (MIT licensed)! It's still early in development, so feedback, bug reports, and feature requests are greatly appreciated. I'm happy to answer any questions here.
Here's what it looks like in the sidebar:
More screenshots and videos are available on GitHub.
Thanks for stopping by!
