Hi Sabtain Khan,

The error message "Automatic runtime not found for flow" in your Azure AI Studio PromptFlow project means that the system cannot find an available runtime environment to execute your flow. In Azure AI Studio, a runtime is essentially a compute resource with the necessary environment and dependencies for running your PromptFlow tasks. This error often occurs if you have not set up a runtime, if the compute instance is stopped, or if the runtime was deleted or not properly attached to your project. To fix this, go to the "Compute" or "Runtime" section of your AI Studio workspace and ensure that you have at least one compute instance created and running. If you recently deleted and recreated your compute or runtime, you may need to reattach it to your project and refresh your session. Once a valid and running runtime is available and connected to your PromptFlow, the error should be resolved and your flow should execute as expected.
