You can add **AI Request** blocks to [Postman Flows](/docs/postman-flows/get-started/build-your-first-flow/). ## Create a new flow You can use an existing flow or create a new one. If you choose to use an existing flow, skip to [Add a new AI request block](#add-a-new-ai-request-block). To create a new flow, do the following: 1. Choose an existing workspace or [create a new one](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/create-workspaces/). 2. In the upper left corner, click **New** > Flow icon **Flow**. 3. In the sidebar, hover over your new flow and click Options icon **View more actions**, then select **Rename** from the dropdown list. 4. Rename your new flow. 5. Press the **Return** or **Enter** key. ## Add a new AI request block To add a new **AI request** block, do the following: 1. In the canvas toolbar, click Add icon **Block**. 2. Select Magic icon **AI Request**. You can also search for the block by entering "AI Request" in the search box. 3. Move your cursor to the location on the canvas where you want to place your new block, and click. ## Set up your new AI request block To set up your new **AI request** block, do the following: 1. Click **Find or create new request** to open a list of your collections that contain AI requests. 2. Select an AI request. If you want to search for the request, enter your search term in the search box. 3. If you want to create a new AI request, click Add icon **Create a new request** (at the end of the list) to open the request editor. For complete instructions, see [Create a new AI request](/docs/use/send-requests/protocols/ai-requests/create/). ## Run the flow From the canvas toolbar, click Run icon **Run**. Your new **AI request** block is ready to use to [interact with an AI model](/docs/postman-flows/build-flows/ai/ai-request-blocks/interact/).
