MAI Image in a visual AI workflow

Run Microsoft's MAI Image in a visual AI workflow: photorealistic generation and editing, BYOK at provider prices.

MAI Image in the NodeTool canvas

Fresh MAI Image examples are on the way. Meanwhile, here's the NodeTool canvas where you'll run it.

MAI-Image-2.5 is Microsoft's photorealistic image generation and editing model. It turns text prompts or uploaded images into design-ready visuals with fine-grained, pixel-level control. MAI Image 2.5 Pro is the high-end text-to-image tier for photorealistic generation.

The lineup has an edit endpoint on the Pro tier. Use the standard tier for drafts and Pro for the final render in the same graph.

MAI Image is BYOK. The provider table below is generated from the node manifests, so it lists only the providers that serve it today.
