## Custom Prompts
What Custom Prompts Are [#what-custom-prompts-are]
Custom prompts are reusable instruction templates for your workspace. They help teams keep style and output standards consistent.
Good Prompt Templates [#good-prompt-templates]
Good templates are:
* Short and specific
* Reusable across many projects
* Focused on constraints, not full one-off scripts
```txt
Tone: premium but approachable.
Motion: no abrupt cuts under 8 frames.
Typography: large readable headings with strong contrast.
Always end with a clear CTA.
```
Avoid This [#avoid-this]
```txt
Make exactly the same video as project X with all previous context and random changes.
```
Why this fails: it is ambiguous, not reusable, and conflicts easily with live chat instructions.
Manage Prompt Library [#manage-prompt-library]
In the prompt area you can:
* Create prompt (name + guidance)
* Edit prompt
* Delete prompt
Insert Prompts in Chat [#insert-prompts-in-chat]
Use the custom prompt selector from chat composer to insert saved guidance into your draft before sending.
Treat prompt templates as shared standards, then use live chat for project-specific direction.
## FAQ
Do I need editing software experience? [#do-i-need-editing-software-experience]
No. fluos is built to let non-editors produce motion videos through natural-language prompts.
Can teams collaborate in one workspace? [#can-teams-collaborate-in-one-workspace]
Yes. Use workspace invites and assign roles based on editing needs.
What can I upload in chat? [#what-can-i-upload-in-chat]
PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP, and PDF, up to 10 MB per file.
Is there live preview? [#is-there-live-preview]
Yes. Preview runs in isolated sandbox sessions and exposes health/restart controls in the product UI.
What formats can I export? [#what-formats-can-i-export]
fluos supports MP4 and GIF export flows.
Why did generation stop suddenly? [#why-did-generation-stop-suddenly]
Most common reasons:
* Credit limits reached
* Preview/sandbox startup instability
* Invalid or outdated project/chat context
Where is billing managed? [#where-is-billing-managed]
In dashboard billing/pricing pages. Workspace owners handle plan-level changes for team workspaces.
Is there a security or privacy page? [#is-there-a-security-or-privacy-page]
Yes. See [Security and Privacy](/docs/security-privacy).
## Create Your First Video
Core Workflow [#core-workflow]
1. Create a project in dashboard.
2. Open the project chat.
3. Send a clear creative prompt.
4. Review preview status and output.
5. Iterate until quality is right.
6. Export final file.
Prompt Structure That Works [#prompt-structure-that-works]
A strong prompt usually includes:
* Format and duration
* Visual style
* Motion pacing
* Ending requirement
```txt
Create a 30-second launch teaser for an electric bike.
Style: bold kinetic typography, warm orange highlights, fast transitions.
Ending: final 3 seconds should lock on logo + URL.
```
Attachments [#attachments]
Supported upload types in chat:
* PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP
* PDF
Current size limit:
* Up to 10 MB per file
Planning vs Build Behavior [#planning-vs-build-behavior]
fluos chat supports structured planning and build-oriented iteration. Use planning when direction is unclear, then transition to concrete build requests.
Keep each follow-up request narrow: one visual change, one pacing change, or one composition change at a time.
Next Steps [#next-steps]
## Getting Started

Most Common Paths [#most-common-paths]
Documentation Coverage [#documentation-coverage]
* Account setup and sign-in methods.
* Project, chat, and attachment workflow.
* Collaboration with workspaces and role management.
* Prompt consistency using custom prompt library.
* Preview lifecycle, exports, and common recovery steps.
* Credits, billing, and user-facing troubleshooting.
Naming and Brand [#naming-and-brand]
Use "fluos" as the product name. "for the dogs" is a tagline used in brand copy.
## Preview and Exports
Preview States [#preview-states]
| State | Meaning | What to do |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Connecting | Preview is still initializing | Wait briefly, then re-check status |
| Running | Preview is healthy and interactive | Continue iteration |
| Error | Preview failed to become healthy | Trigger status check and restart |
Why Preview Can Be Delayed [#why-preview-can-be-delayed]
Startup can include sandbox readiness checks and preview server boot. Temporary upstream/gateway-like errors may self-recover.
Export Formats [#export-formats]
fluos export paths support:
* MP4
* GIF
Exact availability depends on composition/render flow.
Export Process [#export-process]
1. Confirm preview is healthy.
2. Confirm target composition and dimensions.
3. Trigger export.
4. Wait for completion.
5. Download file from authenticated download path.
Download and Access [#download-and-access]
Export files are tied to authenticated project/chat access controls. If permissions or context mismatch, export/download requests can fail.
If preview has been unstable, run one fresh status check first. It reduces failed export attempts.
## Pricing and Credits
Plans [#plans]
fluos has three plans:
| Plan | Price | Builds | Workspaces |
| -------------- | ------------------ | ---------------- | -------------------- |
| **Free** | $0 / forever | 1 lifetime build | 1 personal workspace |
| **Pro** | $10–$1,000 / month | Unlimited | Unlimited |
| **Enterprise** | Custom | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Free Plan [#free-plan]
The free plan gives you one complete build — no credit card required. Before a build runs, the AI creates a plan for you to review; you approve it before execution begins. Unlimited plan iterations are included at no cost.
Free also includes view-only workspace sharing. To invite collaborators with edit access or create additional workspaces, upgrade to Pro.
Pro Plan — Pay What You Want [#pro-plan--pay-what-you-want]
Pro is billed monthly at an amount you choose between **$10 and $1,000**. fluos grants **75 credits per dollar** at the start of every billing cycle.
| Monthly amount | Credits granted |
| -------------- | --------------- |
| $10 | 750 credits |
| $20 | 1,500 credits |
| $100 | 7,500 credits |
| $1,000 | 75,000 credits |
Pro includes unlimited builds, unlimited workspaces, and collaborator (edit) access for your team.
Credits **do not roll over** — they reset at the start of each billing cycle. You can change your monthly amount or cancel at any time; changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.
Enterprise [#enterprise]
Enterprise offers custom volume pricing, SSO and team-wide permissions, dedicated support, and SLA options. [Contact sales](/contact-sales) to discuss your requirements.
Credit Consumption [#credit-consumption]
Credits are consumed as the AI agent generates and iterates on your compositions. A typical build uses a few hundred to a few thousand credits depending on complexity.
Credits track combined input and output token usage across each build.
If Credits Run Out [#if-credits-run-out]
When credits are exhausted, new AI builds cannot start until the next billing cycle refreshes them. You can upgrade to a higher Pro amount at any time to receive more credits immediately.
Practical Tips [#practical-tips]
* Keep exploratory prompts concise during ideation to preserve credits.
* Save reusable instructions in your custom prompts library.
* Avoid broad, multi-goal prompts when refining a near-final output.
Manage Your Plan [#manage-your-plan]
Open the billing page in your dashboard to upgrade, change your monthly amount, or cancel. Workspace owners control plan-level changes for team workspaces. Non-owners can view billing status but cannot modify the plan.
## Security and Privacy
Security Model (User View) [#security-model-user-view]
fluos runs preview and generation in isolated sandbox environments. This reduces cross-project execution risk and keeps runtime boundaries cleaner.
Access Control [#access-control]
* Authentication is handled through Clerk-based flows.
* Project/workspace access is permission-scoped.
* Invite and membership state control what a user can access.
Data and File Handling [#data-and-file-handling]
Chat content, project metadata, and export records are handled through authenticated backend paths with access checks.
Legal Policies [#legal-policies]
* [Privacy Policy](https://fluos.io/privacy)
* [Terms of Service](https://fluos.io/terms)
* [Cookie Policy](https://fluos.io/cookies)

## Troubleshooting
Quick Triage Matrix [#quick-triage-matrix]
| Symptom | Most likely cause | First action |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Unauthorized response | Session/auth mismatch | Re-authenticate and retry |
| Invite not accepted | Wrong account or stale invite | Sign in with invited email, request new invite if needed |
| Upload rejected | Unsupported file or oversize | Check type and 10 MB limit |
| Preview stuck connecting | Sandbox or preview startup delay | Wait, then check status and restart |
| Export failed | Preview/context not healthy | Re-check preview health and retry |
| Generation stopped | Credits exhausted | Review plan and credits |
Authentication Issues [#authentication-issues]
If you see sign-in loops or unauthorized responses:
* Sign out and sign back in.
* Verify you are in the intended account.
* Retry the same flow from a clean tab.
Invite Issues [#invite-issues]
Invite links can be revoked, already accepted, or invalid. Ask workspace owner to resend invite when in doubt.
Upload Issues [#upload-issues]
Accepted media types:
* PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP, PDF
Max size:
* 10 MB per file
Preview Recovery [#preview-recovery]
Recommended sequence:
1. Check status.
2. Restart preview.
3. Reload chat page.
4. Retry after startup stabilizes.
Export Recovery [#export-recovery]
* Confirm preview is running.
* Confirm project/chat context is valid.
* Re-run export after preview health recovers.
Collect exact error text and page context before contacting support. It speeds up diagnosis.
## Workspaces and Collaboration
Workspace Model [#workspace-model]
A workspace contains your shared:
* Projects
* Members
* Prompt library
* Billing ownership
Invites [#invites]
Invite flow supports sending multiple emails (comma-separated). Invite lifecycle includes pending, accepted, and revoked states.
Role Definitions [#role-definitions]
| Role | Typical use | Key note |
| ------------ | --------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Owner | Team lead / payer | Controls billing-level actions |
| Collaborator | Active creator/editor | Can work directly on projects |
| Read | Reviewer/stakeholder | Observation-focused access |
Invite Link Outcomes [#invite-link-outcomes]
Invite pages can resolve to:
* Accepted
* Already accepted
* Revoked
* Invalid/expired
If sign-in is required, users are directed to authentication and then returned to invite handling.
Collaboration Best Practices [#collaboration-best-practices]
* Keep one clear billing owner.
* Grant collaborator access only where editing is needed.
* Use read role for review-only members.
* Remove old pending invites that are no longer needed.
