Langflow Launches 1.5 with Support for Docling and Windows

Rodrigo Nader

Langflow 1.5 brings a simplified, stable foundation for building AI workflows. With clean core components, improved execution, and a smoother UI, Langflow keeps evolving for real-world use. Langflow Desktop is now available for Windows, and the new Docling Bundle takes document processing to a new level.

How to Create Secure AI Applications

Tejas Kumar

You’ve built an impressive AI agent. It can query databases, call external APIs, and even process payments. But with every API call to a third-party LLM provider, you're potentially broadcasting sensitive data—API keys, PII, financial information—into a black box. Relying on the vendor's privacy policy is not a security strategy. It’s time to move beyond the default and engineer security into your AI applications from the ground up.

🧑‍💻 Code & Libraries

Speed up audio files for quicker/cheaper transcripts

Gemma 3n released for on device inference. Available on huggingface and through all the tools you use to run models locally, including Ollama and transformers.js.

LlamaIndex published a Zoom assistant for real time note taking in Notion (explanatory blog post).

🗓️ Events

7/15/2025 - "The Flow" with TwelveLabs (online)

7/31/2025 - Hacking Agents SF Meetup (in-person)

🔦 Langflow Spotlight

Each newsletter we like to share a Langflow component that you can use to create your AI flows. New in Langflow 1.5 is the Docling component.

Docling simplifies document processing, parsing diverse formats — including advanced PDF understanding — and providing seamless integrations with Langflow and the other tools in the GenAI ecosystem.

The topic of security, specifically around prompt injection, is often raised and then dropped with a bit of a shrug as the path to a solution isn't very clear. Thankfully there are people out there thinking hard about it. In AI++ today, there are articles from Meta and Perplexity on this, with ways to mitigate the issue that we should all read and learn from. We've also got news of some great AI events coming up, including the online OpenRAG Summit, along with news of introspective AI models,...

If you like building agents that get work done, you're in for a treat in this newsletter. CUGA is a new agent framework that is topping benchmarks and using all sorts of cunning under the hood to help you build better agents that can execute complex tasks. There is also news on model releases, code execution sandboxes, and the latest podcast episode from The Flow, all on OAuth and MCP.

I normally like to open the newsletter with general news in the world of AI, but I've been heads-down with the rest of the Langflow team working on the newly released Langflow version 1.6. With features like OAuth for MCP, a Docling powered file component, and compatibility with the OpenAI API, it's been worth it. What else has been going on then? OpenAI just hosted their DevDay event with a pile of new releases, while Anthropic had people queue for 2 hours for free hats. Everyone else seems...
