Connect Penpot to WhatsApp: files, projects and teams by chat
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect Penpot once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Good visuals sell, but making them is rarely the job you opened your business to do. Connect Penpot and Flann can prepare the graphic, the clip or the page from a message. You look at it in WhatsApp.
90 actions in Penpot. 37 only look things up, and 53 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

Repetitive Penpot work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
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 Penpot, under a project name you cannot remember.
With Flann
“Send me the high-res logo from Penpot, the one with the dark background.”
Searching your projects in Penpot 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.
Turning an event into a flyer
Today
Tasting nights, open days and workshops each need a flyer. Laying out the details in Penpot competes with actually running the event.
With Flann
“Flyer in Penpot for the wine tasting on Friday the fourteenth, tickets at the bar.”
From a few words, Flann builds the flyer in Penpot using one of your past designs as the starting point, so it looks like yours rather than a template anyone could have picked. It sends back a preview and a printable version.
What you stop doing: Laying out every event flyer yourself is no longer on the list.
