Create with AI. Make it your own.

NodeTool is an open-source app for making images, video, audio, and text with AI. You describe what you want, and a built-in AI agent does the work: it writes, generates, and edits inside NodeTool's editors. Then you can change any part yourself. You get an editable project, not just a finished file, so your steps, media, and edits stay together. Run supported AI models on your own computer, or connect online AI providers such as OpenAI, Google, and fal.ai with your own accounts.

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.

Yes, in Studio. Sign in with ChatGPT or Claude, and the agent runs on that subscription instead of an API key. With the NodeTool Chrome extension, NodeTool also uses the ChatGPT or Gemini tab you are signed in to: ChatGPT generates images, and Gemini runs chat, images, and video. Those runs count against your plan's limits, so you get no pay-per-call bill for them. Every run shows up in your ChatGPT or Gemini history.

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.

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.

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.

It means the AI agent works in the same editors you do. The node canvas, sketch pad, storyboard, video timeline, script editor, 3D scene, game editor, and app builder each give the agent the actions you have, so it can change your project the way you would. A log records every action the agent took, its result, and any error. Coding agents outside NodeTool, such as Claude Code, can use the same actions through MCP, the standard way AI agents connect to outside tools.

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.
