Self-Hosted AI Workflows
Deploy NodeTool on infrastructure you own. The same open-source app that runs on your laptop starts from one `docker-compose.yml`, so a team can run workflows, models, and data behind its own firewall instead of a SaaS vendor's.
- One Docker Compose file to stand up your own server
- Your database, your storage, your uptime — no vendor lock-in
- AGPL-3.0 open source, so nothing is held back for a paid tier
One canvas
for the whole craft
Image, video, audio, and text on a single visual canvas, with the editing tools you already rely on sitting right next to the models. You direct the whole piece instead of generating parts of it.
Edit where you generate
Mask, retouch, extend, relight, upscale, layer, and composite. The editing tools you reach for live on the same canvas as the models.
Watch every step render
Results appear as each step finishes. Inspect any frame, swap a model, and re-run from that point on.
Your keys, provider prices
Bring your own keys for FAL, KIE, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Replicate, and the rest. The bill comes from the provider, not from us.
Image, video, audio, text
Flux, Seedance, Wan, ControlNet, Whisper, ElevenLabs, and Suno, all on one canvas under their real names. You always know which model you are running.
From a brief to a finished asset
Real workflows you can open, run, and change. Each one runs from the brief to the finished piece without leaving the canvas, and every one is built from the blocks you get on day one.
Movie Trailer Generator
Type one logline and the canvas builds a cinematic teaser. A Director node storyboards it into shots, each shot is rendered as key art, animated, and cut into a finished trailer.
Product Video Generator
Turn a campaign brief and a single product photo into a cinematic 16:9 product video. Your inputs feed a prompt, an agent directs the shot, and a text-to-video model renders it.
Movie Poster Generator
From a title, genre, and audience, the canvas writes a creative strategy and renders a batch of cinematic movie poster concepts, title, tagline, billing block and all.
Frequently asked questions
How do I self-host NodeTool?
Run it with the reference `docker-compose.yml` in the repository, or the `packages/deploy` tooling for more control. It's the same open-source app you'd run on the desktop, pointed at your own storage and database.
Do I still bring my own model keys when self-hosting?
Yes. Self-hosting NodeTool controls where the app and your data live; you still connect your own provider keys, or run local/open-weight models on the host's own hardware.
Why self-host instead of using a SaaS workflow tool?
You own the data, the uptime, and the deployment. There is no per-seat bill, no vendor deciding what changes next, and the same AGPL-3.0 source runs whether it's on your laptop or your server.
