Open-source agent-first creative workspace
Create images, video, audio, and text with agents that work alongside you. Describe what you want, let the agent build it, then take over whenever you like.
Free and open source, AGPL-3.0. macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Agents
Describe it. The agent builds the project.
Give the agent a brief. It drafts the script, boards the shots, renders the takes, and cuts them on a timeline. What comes back is a project you can open. Change any part of it yourself, or send the agent back in with a note about the one shot you want different.
01Pitch
Tell the agent your concept, style, and tone. It drafts the script, casts the voices, and sets the visual direction.

02Automate
The agent boards the scenes, generates the footage, syncs the audio, and cuts it on a multi-track timeline. Every step lands in a project you can open, on your keys, at provider prices.

03Direct
Jump in at any moment. Swap a voice take, re-roll a clip, trim frames. Or hand the project back to the agent with one note and keep going.
Re-roll · re-voice · trim
Five editors. One project file.
Everything the agent made stays open. Re-roll a shot, audition another take, retime the cut, change a line, swap a reference, or adjust the workflow behind it. Storyboard, script, timeline, sketch, and 3D scene all sit on the canvas you generate on, and the agent works every one of them through the same tools you click.
Visual storyboards
Board the film shot by shot. Generate cheap stills to lock the look, then animate only the shots you approved.
Scripting & casting
Draft the dialogue, cast a voice per character, and audition alternate readings. Change the words and the take flags itself stale, so you see what still needs voicing.
Multi-track timeline
Arrange, trim, and layer generated video and audio across tracks, down to the frame and the stem. The agent edits the same document when you ask it to tighten the opening.
Layered drawing canvas
Sketch, paint, and blend hand-drawn elements with generated layers. Bind a layer to a prompt and regenerate that layer alone.
Spatial composition you can reproduce
Place primitives and lights in a glTF scene by hand or by tool call. The same operations run headlessly, so a scene is reproducible.

Local. Open. Yours.
No middlemen, no markups.
Bring your own keys and switch providers in one click. You own the project file, the workflow, and the final cut.
Bring your own keys
Connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, FAL, KIE, Replicate, and the video specialists. Keys stay on your disk in Studio, encrypted in Cloud.
No markups
If an image costs $0.03 at the provider, you pay $0.03 to the provider. No credit packs. NodeTool takes no cut.
Open source, end to end
Studio and Cloud are built from the same AGPL-3.0 source, with no paywalled features. Read it, fork it, or host it yourself.
A project file that opens anywhere
The board, the script with its takes, and the multi-track cut are ordinary files on your disk. Export a .nodetool bundle and open it anywhere.
What that costs a month, model by model, is on the pricing page.
Workflows
Build the workflows that work for you.
When a project comes out right, keep the process that made it. Chain models, editors, and code into a node graph you can re-run on new inputs, ship as an app, or drive headless from the CLI.

Comparison
What changes when the studio is open.
A hosted platform makes the film and keeps the model list, the billing, and the project. Here is the same table with the studio open.
An open studio and a hosted platform, row by row
| NodeTool | Hosted platforms | |
|---|---|---|
| Models | Every major provider, switched in one click | The list they picked |
| When a better model ships | Add it the day it ships | Wait for them to add it |
| What you pay | Provider list prices, on your own keys | Their credits |
| What you keep | The board, the takes, and the multi-track cut as an editable project | An exported video. The project stays in their app. |
| Source | Open, AGPL-3.0 | Closed |
| Where it runs | Desktop app and browser, self-host any time | Their servers only |

Where NodeTool fits
Pick the model. Pick the price.
Take Seedance, one of today's best video models. FAL, Replicate, and KIE each sell it at a different price, and NodeTool lets you pick the cheapest. When the next Veo or Kling arrives, you switch in one click.
That is what holding the keys buys you: the best model at the best price each week, and nothing to lose if a tool gets bought, repriced, or shut down.

What is NodeTool?
NodeTool is an open-source agent-first creative workspace. Create and edit images, video, audio, and text with agents that work alongside you. Describe what you want, let the agent build it, then take over whenever you like. You get an editable project, not just a finished file: your workflows, assets, and edits stay together. Use supported local models or connect cloud providers with your own keys.
Read more →Is NodeTool open source?
Yes. The whole project is AGPL-3.0 on GitHub. Studio and Cloud are built from the same source, and nothing is held back for a paid tier. You can host it yourself at any time.
Read more →How much does NodeTool cost?
NodeTool Studio, the desktop app, is free and open source. Cloud pricing and access can change during alpha, so check the Cloud page before use. In both editions, provider charges are separate: you connect your own provider account and pay that provider directly. Supported local models in Studio have no provider charge per call, but they use your hardware and electricity.
Read more →Is NodeTool local-first and private?
NodeTool Studio stores the workspace, workflows, files, and configured credentials on your machine. Supported open-weight models can run locally through MLX, Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, and LM Studio. When you call a hosted model, the request leaves your machine for that provider. Cloud uses hosted project storage; review the current privacy policy and terms before using sensitive material.
Read more →Which models are supported?
The leading models, including Flux, Seedance, Wan, Veo, Kling, Hailuo, Qwen Image, Whisper, ElevenLabs, and Suno, reached through providers such as FAL, KIE, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Replicate, Together, Groq, Mistral, OpenRouter, and HuggingFace. Models can also run on your own computer through MLX, Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, and LM Studio.
Read more →What does it mean that NodeTool is agent-first?
The node canvas, sketch pad, storyboard, video timeline, script editor, 3D scene, and app builder expose operations that agents can call as tools. The agent can change the workflow or project on the same surfaces you use, and the execution record shows tool calls, results, errors, and interventions. The toolbelt is also exposed over MCP for compatible external agents.
Read more →Do I need a GPU to run NodeTool?
No. Studio can use hosted providers, where the model runs on the provider's hardware. A GPU matters only when you choose to run supported open-weight models on your computer. The requirement then depends on the model and runtime; smaller models may run on CPU at lower speed.
