Question 1

What is NodeTool?

Accepted Answer

NodeTool is the open-source, agent-first creative workspace. Every editor is exposed to agents as tools: say what you want and the agent builds the workflow and runs it across every major model from every major provider (FAL, KIE, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Replicate, and more) using your own keys. Image, video, audio, and text live side by side, with editing tools such as masks, inpaint, outpaint, relight, upscale, layers, and compositing built in. It runs as a desktop app on macOS, Windows, and Linux, or in the browser with NodeTool Cloud.

Question 2

How is NodeTool different from ComfyUI?

Accepted Answer

ComfyUI is a specialist image tool built for engineers. NodeTool is a complete creative workspace: image, video, audio, and text on one canvas, with the editing tools creatives actually use. It also covers far more models, across more providers and media types, using your own keys at provider prices.

Question 3

How is NodeTool different from Figma Weave (formerly Weavy) or other closed SaaS canvases?

Accepted Answer

Closed tools tie you to a credit system and a hand-picked list of models. NodeTool is open source. You bring your own API keys to every provider, pay those providers directly at their published prices, and own your workflows and files. Cloud is simply our hosting of the same open-source code you can run yourself.

Question 4

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

NodeTool Studio is free to download and use. NodeTool Cloud is a subscription that covers hosting. In both, you bring your own API keys and pay each provider directly at their list prices. NodeTool does not run models on its own servers, does not issue its own credits, and does not add a markup.

Question 5

What models does NodeTool support?

Accepted Answer

The latest 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 machine with MLX, Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, and LM Studio.

Question 6

Who is NodeTool for?

Accepted Answer

Independent artists, motion designers, illustrators, and art directors, along with small creative studios, brand teams, and post-production houses that work with AI every day.

Question 7

Is NodeTool open source?
