A free and open AI workspace

Tell the AI what to make. Then you take control.

Tell NodeTool what you need, and its agent will build it for you. It can create workflows, images, videos, or simple apps. Everything it makes appears on a canvas where you can easily view and edit it yourself. You can use your own accounts or your own computer. It is open source and free to use (AGPL-3.0).

NodeTool canvas

Start by asking

One agent works across the whole app. It looks at your open document and edits it just like you would. This means everything it creates acts like a normal workflow, drawing, or timeline. Nothing is locked, and nothing is hidden from you.

Say what you want

"Turn this story idea into a storyboard and a short video trailer." The agent picks the right parts, connects them, chooses the best tools, and runs it all.

Watch it work

You can see everything happen in real-time: the plan, every tool it uses, and every part as it works. A simple setting lets you choose if it needs your permission before doing anything.

The agent loop →
Take over any time

Click a node, change a value, rewire an edge, re-run. The graph is the source of truth for both of you.

Workflow editor →

The same agent works everywhere: the node view, the Sketch Editor, the Video Editor, scripts, storyboards, and the App Builder. Just ask it to add a new music track, draw a layer, change a video clip, or connect a form, and watch it happen.

Three flagship workflows, end to end. Each starts from a few inputs and builds a finished result on one canvas you can re-run, restyle, and re-point at your own story. See all use cases →

What you can do

  • Let the AI build it — Describe what you want, and it puts everything together, chooses the tools, runs them, and shows you the result.
  • Edit what it built — Click any part, change its settings, and run it again. Nothing is hidden; you own everything it creates.
  • Put AI inside your workflows — You can make an agent act as one step in a larger process, letting it plan and use tools.
  • Mix models from anywhere — Use different AI models together, like an image maker with a text writer and a voice generator, all in one place. Choose the best tool for each specific job.
  • Run advanced models on your computer — Run powerful models directly on your hardware. It works without the internet, and your files stay private.
  • Use your own accounts — Pay AI companies like OpenAI or Google directly. We do not add any extra fees or charges.
  • Share your workflow as a Mini-App — Turn your complex work into a simple app with just inputs and outputs. Share a link, and others can use it without installing anything.
  • Chat with your documents — Search and talk to your own files securely. Your data stays safely on your computer.

Studio or Cloud

Same code, same workflows. Both AGPL-3.0.

NodeTool Studio — desktop

Mac, Windows, Linux. Local inference via Ollama, MLX, and GGUF. Works offline. Prompts and outputs stay on disk. BYOK for cloud providers when you want them.

Download Studio →
NodeTool Cloud — browser

Hosted, no install. Same canvas, same nodes. BYOK for every cloud provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Replicate, FAL, ElevenLabs, HuggingFace. No local models.

Open Cloud →

No credit markup. Cloud hosts the same code in this repo. Self-host the Docker images any time. You pay providers directly.

What you can build

Image and video

Flux, Qwen, Wan, Seedance, Sora, Veo, Kling on one canvas.
