Overview
FlowX.AI relies on various third-party components to deliver its functionality. These components fall into two categories:- Embedded components: Third-party software packaged and managed by FlowX.AI
- Client-managed components: Third-party software that you deploy and maintain
For optimal performance and reliability, our internal QA process validates new releases using specific versions. While you can explore alternative versions that suit your requirements, we recommend referring to the compatibility matrix for guidance.
