Agent Mode: The Complete Guide to Flik AI's Autonomous Workflow

How Agent mode plans, prompts, generates, and iterates across every frontier model — from a single plain-English brief.

Agent mode is the flagship Flik AI workflow: describe what you want in plain English, and an AI agent plans the shots, picks the right model for each, writes the full prompts, generates, and iterates until the result matches your brief. Here's the complete guide to how it works and when to use it.

What Agent mode actually does

Under the hood, Agent mode runs a reasoning loop built on Claude Sonnet 4.6 (or your chosen agent model — Claude Opus 4.7, Gemini 3.1 Pro, or Gemini 3 Flash). The agent:

Reads your brief and identifies the outcome (commercial, music video, short film, product demo, etc.)
Plans a shot list with duration, aspect ratio, and mood per shot
Picks the right generative model per shot — Kling 3.0 Pro for 4K hero shots, Veo 3.1 for dialogue, Seedance 2.0 for multimodal-reference cuts, Hailuo 2.3 for kinetic action
Writes the full prompt for each shot using the 6-part cinematographer's formula
Generates each shot, evaluates the output against the brief, regenerates problematic shots
Composes original score with Suno 5.0 and narration with ElevenLabs 3.0 when the brief calls for them
Delivers a finished, ready-to-upload file

When to use Agent mode

You have a clear outcome in mind but no interest in per-shot prompting
You want multi-model output (the agent picks per shot — single-model tools can't)
You need fast turnaround with good creative judgment
You're producing at volume and want the agent to handle routing decisions

When NOT to use Agent mode

Two cases justify Manual mode instead. First, when you need reproducibility — the same prompt producing the same output for a production workflow. Second, when you're a power user who wants to write exact prompts and tune parameters yourself. See /manual-mode for the full power-user workflow.

How to write a good Agent mode brief

The strongest Agent briefs hit four elements: audience, outcome, emotion, call-to-action. Example:

The agent turns that brief into a 5-shot plan, writes the prompts, generates with Kling 3.0 Pro and Veo 3.1, composes a Suno 5.0 score, records ElevenLabs 3.0 narration, and delivers the final cut. Total time: ~10 minutes.

Iterating after the first draft

If the first take isn't right, don't start over. Tell the agent what's wrong in plain English: "make the bakery shot warmer lighting," "slow the narration by 10%," "the music peak should hit at 20 seconds instead of 15." The agent regenerates only the affected elements — your other takes stay intact.

Frequently asked questions

What is Agent mode in Flik AI?

Agent mode is an autonomous AI creative workflow. You describe the outcome in plain English; the agent plans shots, picks models, writes prompts, generates, and iterates. You review the result and approve, or give natural-language feedback to regenerate specific elements.

Which agent model powers Agent mode?

Claude Sonnet 4.6 by default. You can switch to Claude Opus 4.7 (smartest), Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro (balanced), or Gemini 3 Flash (fastest) from the agent model picker at any time.

Can Agent mode use multiple generative models in one project?

Yes — that's the whole point. The agent picks Veo 3.1 for dialogue shots, Kling 3.0 Pro for 4K hero shots, Seedance 2.0 for beat-synced cutaways, and Hailuo 2.3 for action beats, all inside the same project.

Do I have to write prompts in Agent mode?

No. Agent mode writes every prompt itself from your plain-English brief. You can see and edit the prompts the agent writes if you want to understand what's being sent to each model.

Chat Mode: The Iterative AI Video Workflow — Chat mode is Flik AI's conversational creative loop — iterate turn-by-turn with the agent, steering between generations without rewriting prompts.
Manual Mode: The Power User's AI Video Workflow — Manual mode bypasses the agent for direct control. Pick your own model, write exact prompts, tune every parameter — the power user workflow inside Flik AI.
What is an AI Creative Agent? The 2026 Workflow Explained — An AI creative agent plans, prompts, generates, and iterates across every frontier model — video, image, voice, music — from a single plain-English brief. Here's how that differs from a single-model AI tool.
