ImageKit on WhatsApp: manage files and folders with an AI agent
Flann turns ImageKit into something you can message. Ask on WhatsApp, by text or voice note, and Flann does the work in ImageKit for you. Most owners keep the brand in their head and the files in ImageKit. New pieces start from what you have already made, so the shop window, the menu board and your social feed all look like the same business.
26 actions in ImageKit. 10 only look things up, and 16 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.
What you can ask Flann to do in ImageKit
You do not need the exact wording. These are the kinds of messages Flann turns into ImageKit actions.
“Look up the usage in ImageKit.”
“Show me my upload authentication parameters in ImageKit.”
“Check the purge cache status in ImageKit.”
“Create a folder in ImageKit.”
“Delete the file in ImageKit.”

Where Flann saves you time in ImageKit
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once ImageKit is connected.
Finding the logo and old artwork
Today
The printer wants your logo as a sharp, full-size file and you only have a blurry copy on your phone. The proper file is somewhere in ImageKit, under a project name you cannot remember.
With Flann
“Send me the high-res logo from ImageKit, the one with the dark background.”
Searching your projects in ImageKit straight away, Flann finds the logo variants and sends the right one into the chat. If there are several, you get thumbnails to pick from.
What you stop doing: Scrolling through old projects for the right logo file stops.
Updating the website for holidays
Today
Bank holidays, staff holidays and the Christmas closure all need a change on your website. Logging into ImageKit for one line of text is easy to put off, and customers turn up to a locked door.
With Flann
“We’re closed Boxing Day and open late on the twenty-third. Update the hours on ImageKit.”
Opening hours are found in every place ImageKit shows them, including the footer and the contact page, and the change is prepared for each. You get a before-and-after card.
What you stop doing: Logging in to fix a single line of opening hours no longer falls to you.
