FLORA FAUNA

On March 31, 2026, the creative AI startup FLORA launched FAUNA, an AI creative agent built on a node-based visual canvas that integrates more than 50 models across image, video, text, and utility categories. Backed by $52 million in funding and already in production use at Nike, Netflix, Pentagram, and Wonder Studios, FAUNA is positioned as a direct response to the homogenization of AI-generated content. The pitch: instead of another "prompt in, generic output" tool, build a creative environment that exposes the entire generation workflow and lets professional designers shape every step.

A Node-Based Creative Canvas

FAUNA lives inside FLORA's infinite canvas. Every step of a creative workflow is represented as a node that takes inputs, runs a model or transform, and produces outputs. Designers can chain nodes together, branch them, rerun individual steps, swap models mid-pipeline, and iterate without starting over. This is fundamentally different from a chat-box interface where the only control is the prompt. You can see what the AI is doing, change it, and reuse the pattern.

50+ Models, One Canvas

FLORA describes itself as model-agnostic by design. FAUNA integrates more than 50 leading AI models across four categories:

• Image generation and editing (including Midjourney, FLUX, Ideogram, and others)
• Video generation (Runway, Luma, Kling, and more)
• Text and language models for copy, scripts, and ideation
• Utility models for background removal, upscaling, relighting, and stylization

The model-agnostic approach matters in a market where capabilities shift quarter to quarter. Teams are not locked into a single vendor's stack, and FLORA integrates new models as they emerge.

Techniques: Pre-Built Workflows from Top Agencies

One of FAUNA's most interesting features is Techniques, pre-built creative workflows developed by professionals at leading brands and agencies. Designers can access Pentagram's brand system workflow, Base Design's identity workflow, or Wonder Studios' post-production stack, and adapt any of them to their own projects. World-class expertise becomes a reusable system that a mid-level designer can run on day one.

Production Users

FAUNA is not a speculative beta. It launched with real production users:

• Nike, exploring FLORA for marketing and product creative work
• Netflix, contributing workflows and using the platform for post-production concepting
• Pentagram, the design firm whose workflows ship as Techniques
• Wonder Studios, applying FAUNA to film and episodic content

Early adopters of this caliber signal that the tool is solving a real problem at brands where craft still matters.

Pricing

FLORA offers three tiers with unlimited seats and credit rollover:

• Starter: $18 per month for individuals and small teams
• Studio: $54 per month for mid-size creative teams
• Scale: $200 per month for larger production environments

The unlimited-seats pricing is notable. Most AI tools charge per seat, which becomes prohibitive for agencies with rotating contributors. FLORA's model is closer to how design tools like Figma charge, which is probably no accident.

Why FAUNA Matters

The core bet FLORA is making is that generative AI will split into two markets. One half will be "single prompt, single output" tools for casual users. The other half will be production environments where professional designers need to control every step, swap models, reuse patterns, and preserve brand craft. FAUNA is a clear push into that second market, and the combination of a node-based canvas, 50+ models, and agency-contributed Techniques is a meaningful answer to "how do we stop AI content from all looking the same".
