How to Create a Motion Control Workflow
Getting Started with Toby Flow
Toby Flow automates generation through your existing Flow, ChatGPT, Grok, Muse, and Gemini accounts.
Does Toby Flow generate images/videos for me?
No. Toby Flow does NOT generate any media itself. It is a tool that automates your browser actions on existing AI gen platforms — helping you submit prompts faster, mass-produce content, and run automated workflows.
You need your own AI account
Sign in to a supported provider with available quota. Your Toby Flow login is separate from your Flow, ChatGPT, Grok, Muse, or Gemini account; available providers depend on your plan.
Install Extension
Add Toby Flow from the Chrome Web Store. Works on Chrome and Chromium browsers (Edge, Brave, Arc).
Install from Chrome Web StoreOpen the side panel
Open Toby Flow from the browser toolbar, choose a provider in Gen, and sign in to that provider in its own tab.
Sign in to Toby Flow
Sign in to your Toby Flow account to access features available on your plan. Provider sign-in and Toby Flow sign-in are separate.
Batch Generate (Gen Tab)
Enter prompts, choose Flow, ChatGPT, Grok, Muse, or Gemini, and run them with visible progress. Availability and media types depend on your plan, provider, and selected model. Generation uses your provider account quota.
Choose a provider
These are the five provider tabs in Gen. Available models, ratios, image references, video options, and quotas are loaded from your plan and provider settings.
Create in a Flow project; supported video models can use Ingredients or Start/End Frames.
Create images through your signed-in ChatGPT tab.
Choose an available Grok model and video input mode.
Create with Muse; available reference types depend on the selected model.
Create with Gemini; check the available model and media mode.
Step 1: Enter prompt list
Enter one prompt. For a batch, enable Multi-Prompt and separate prompts with a blank line; you can also import a .txt file.
Step 2: Choose settings
- Model: Choose an available model for the selected provider and image/video mode.
- Aspect Ratio: The available ratios are loaded for the selected provider, model, and media type.
- Results per prompt: Set the quantity when the selected provider and model support it.
- Reference Images: Choose images in the reference picker. The allowed number depends on the provider, model, and video input mode.
Reference Mode (4 modes — how refs are sent to each prompt)
- AllAll — every prompt receives ALL uploaded refs (default; best for consistent character/style across batch)
- @Mention@Mention — only refs you explicitly @tag in the prompt are sent (best for multi-prompt batches needing different refs per prompt)
- SequentialSequential — prompt #1 gets ref #1, prompt #2 gets ref #2... cycles back when count mismatches (best for 1:1 ref ↔ prompt pairing)
- NoneNone — refs are ignored even if uploaded (text-only generation; picker disabled)
Step 3: Click Generate
The extension takes over and:
- Submits prompts in sequence, or in parallel where the provider and run mode support it
- Shows provider errors and retries when the active execution path supports recovery
- Auto-downloads results if Auto Download is on
- Shows progress in the batch list and execution tracker
Video input and continuity
When supported by the selected model, choose Ingredients or Frames. Frames uses Start and End images. Continue from previous last frame passes the extracted final frame to the next video prompt; a failed handoff stops that chain and shows an error.
Flow models that support them also show Character and Voice controls. If a control is hidden, check the selected model and video input mode.
Pro Tips
- Enable Humanized Mode to randomize typing speed and click timing
- Use Import .txt to load prompts from a file
- Save Snippets for prompts you reuse often
Batch List & Saved Results
Click the list icon beside Generate in the Gen footer. Open a batch to check each prompt and its result. The badge can show Completed, Partial, Failed, or Pending; a submitted prompt is not a completed result.
Use the three-dot menu to edit or delete a batch, rerun failed/pending prompts, or run all prompts again. Open a prompt menu to rerun one prompt. Check the result count before reusing a partial batch.
Choose Add results to references in a batch menu, or Add to references in a result menu, to place saved images in the Gen reference picker. The target provider still applies its own limit.
Workflow Builder
Chain steps together on a visual canvas. Connect nodes from output to input to build image and video pipelines that run end-to-end without manual clicks.
Common node types
Submit prompt to Google Flow (image or video)
Upload or pick a reference image
Rewrite or expand prompts via ChatGPT or Gemini
Generate image via your ChatGPT account (no video)
Generate image or video via your Grok account
Generate an image or video with Muse
Generate an image or video with Gemini
Provide text to downstream nodes
Save results to disk automatically
Wait a fixed duration between steps
Push results to your Telegram chat
Sticky comments on the canvas (no execution)
Browse the Workflow Templates library to clone proven pipelines instead of starting from scratch.
How to Use
- 1Open the Workflow tab and click Create New
- 2Drag node tiles from the left toolbar onto the canvas
- 3Drag from a node's output port to the next node's input
- 4Click a node to fill in prompts, model, ratio, and refs
- 5Click Run, review the confirmation, and track each node in Queue
Prompt Templates (Prompts Tab)
Prompt library with star ratings. Filter by category, send to the Gen tab in one click, or use as a starting point.
How templates work
- 1Open the Prompts tab to browse all templates
- 2Filter by category or search by keyword
- 3Click Use to send the prompt to the Gen tab
- 4Rate 1–5 stars to surface the best ones for everyone
AI Agent (MCP)
Turn an idea into a repeatable production flow: ask a connected AI agent to plan prompts, generate images or videos through your provider accounts, build workflows, and reuse saved results as references.
Ask in plain language
Describe the result you want; the agent can call TobyFlow tools to carry out the steps.
Coordinate multiple steps
Generate, inspect results, reuse images as references, and build a workflow from the same brief.
Keep work visible
See batch status and workflow progress in the extension while the agent works.
Example: one brief, five scenes
Ask your agent to prepare five prompts, generate five source images, verify that all five results exist, then use each image for a matching video scene when the selected model accepts image references. Review the batch and workflow in Toby Flow.
“Create five product scene images, check that all five finished, then build a five-scene video workflow using each image as its matching reference. Show me any failed step.”
Setup in 3 steps
- 1Extension → Settings → MCP tab → Create new token (copy it — shown only once).
- 2Copy the MCP server address and token from Settings → MCP into your AI client. The sample below is for Claude Desktop; other clients use their own setup screens.
- 3Restart the AI client, check that TobyFlow tools appear, then ask it to check provider status before generating. Keep the selected provider signed in.
{
"mcpServers": {
"tobyflow": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://tobyflow.mcp", "--header", "Authorization:Bearer <token>"]
}
}
}What the AI can do
- gen_image / gen_video — generate images & videos (voiceover on supported models)
- create_workflow / update_workflow / run_workflow — build & run visual workflows
- upload_ref — upload an image to the current Flow project; it does not attach the image to a generation automatically
- create_project / open_project / get_current_project — manage Flow projects
- get_provider_status / list_capabilities / list_voices — check readiness, models, limits & voices
- list_saved_results / add_saved_results_to_refs — inspect local batch results and add selected images to Gen references
Generation tools return a job_id. Ask your agent to poll get_job until it finishes and compare the requested result count with the returned results before reusing them.
Reference images
Adding saved results to Gen references only changes the Gen tab. For a later MCP generation, pass verified selectors as saved_refs or saved_refs_per_prompt; keep the same browser runner because files are stored locally.
Optional: auto-save MCP-generated files to disk (folder & resolution are configurable in the MCP tab).
Multi Task (Tasks Tab)
Save reusable jobs as Tasks. Each Task carries its own prompt list, provider, model, ratio, and reference images — run them individually or queue many in a row.
Create a Task
- 1Open the Tasks tab and click Add
- 2Name the task. For several prompts, enable Multi-Prompt and separate them with a blank line
- 3Pick provider, model, ratio, count, and ref images
- 4Click Save — the task appears as a card
Run Tasks
Run single task
Click the Play icon on a task card to queue only its prompts.
Run All
Click Run All to run enabled tasks. Review provider readiness and run mode in the confirmation dialog before starting.
Albums & @Mention (Photos Tab)
Albums store image files on this device. Select album images in the reference picker, then use @Mention mode when each prompt should receive different images.
Create an Album
In the Photos tab, create an Album and add images by uploading, dragging files in, or capturing an existing Flow result. Images remain available on this device across reloads and project switches.
@Mention in Prompts
Name each image with a slug (e.g. main_character), then reference it from any prompt:
Choose @Mention as the reference mode, select the image, and use its name in the prompt. For Flow, Toby Flow uploads a local image to the active project when needed; other providers use their own reference path.
Auto Download
Save generated images and videos to disk the moment they finish. Filenames, subfolders, and download resolution are all configurable.
Download Settings
- Filename Template: [Date]_[Project]_[Prompt]_[Index]
- Subfolder: Auto subfolders per Task or Workflow name
- Resolution: Image: 1K / 2K / 4K | Video: 720p / 1080p / 4K; available output depends on the provider

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Toby Flow provide free generation credits?
No. Generation uses the quota of your own provider account. Your Toby Flow plan controls access to extension features and providers.
Does it work on Firefox?
No. Chrome and Chromium browsers only (Edge, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi).
Can I use it on multiple computers?
You can sign in on another device if your plan allows it. Account data may sync, but local batch results and images remain on the device where they were saved.
Are generated images watermarked?
Watermark behavior depends on the provider, its account settings, and your download settings.
What if a provider rate-limits me?
Check the prompt error and retry after the provider limit clears. Avoid running more concurrent prompts than your provider account allows.
