In this episode, we explore Flora AI, a recently launched design platform founded by Weber Wong in February 2025 that reimagines the creative workflow through a modular, connected approach. Unlike traditional AI image generators, Flora offers a complete suite of tools with text, image, and video blocks that can be interconnected to create sophisticated design workflows. We demonstrate how to use the platform to develop marketing assets from concept to completion, including service descriptions, taglines, themed visuals, ad copy, and videos. The episode showcases Flora’s unique approach to bridging the gap between professional design tools like Photoshop and simple AI generators, offering powerful creative control with AI efficiency.
