Co-founder Henry cited a shift in developer preference toward coding agents like Claude Code and OpenClaw, which handle complex tasks more effectively than rigid low-code workflows. The Apache 2.0 licensed code will remain available on GitHub for forking and community-led maintenance.", "body_md": "# The Future of Flowise\n\nHey everyone,\n\nWhen we started Flowise, we wanted to make building AI apps easier and more fun for everyone. Seeing what you've built, from simple bots to massive workflows has truly been the best part of this journey. You have made this project what it is today.\n\nOver the last few months, we've noticed a significant shift in how people build. As AI models become more capable at reasoning, we've noticed that developers are increasingly relying on new coding agents such as Claude Code/OpenClaw to handle complex tasks. The typical rigid workflow low code approach quickly hits the limit when it comes to complexity.\n\nIt's with these shifts in mind that we've decided to wind down our operations for Flowise. We know many of you rely on this tool every day, so we want to be as clear as possible about what happens next. This gives you time to fork the code and figure out your next steps.\n\n| Date | Milestone | Impact on OSS Repository |\n|---|---|---|\n| July 29, 2026 | Announcement & Code Freeze | Active feature development ceases immediately. We will no longer be reviewing or accepting new Pull Requests. |\n| August 10, 2026 | Repository Archival | The Flowise GitHub repository will be moved to Public Archive status. The code will remain visible indefinitely, but issues and PRs will be locked and npm packages and Docker images will be marked deprecated. |\n| August 31, 2026 | End of Life (EOL) | Official core team presence in Discord and GitHub will conclude. Community moderation will be handed off where applicable. |\n\nMoving forward, Flowise source code will still remain on Github and the Apache 2.0 licensed code is yours to keep building on. We encourage teams to fork the repo ([https://github.com/flowiseai/flowise](https://github.com/flowiseai/flowise)) to maintain their own internal updates or community-led forks.\n\nThis has been an incredible ride, and we wouldn't be here today without each and every one of you. We've built friendships along the way, and we are deeply grateful for your support over the years.\n\nThank you for building with us, and here's to what's next!\n\nHenry & Flowise Team", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/flowise-is-shutting-down", "canonical_source": "https://flowiseai.com/sunset", "published_at": "2026-08-05 00:02:40+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-05 00:22:31.217062+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools", "generative-ai"], "entities": ["Flowise", "Henry", "Claude Code", "OpenClaw", "GitHub"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/flowise-is-shutting-down", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/flowise-is-shutting-down.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/flowise-is-shutting-down.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/flowise-is-shutting-down.jsonld"}}
