The open creative AI workspace

Every model. Your keys. Your canvas.

NodeTool replaces the chatbox with a node canvas where image, video, audio, and LLM models run side by side. Bring your keys, or run everything locally. Open source, AGPL-3.0.

Use cases

  • Mix models from every vendor — Wire Flux next to GPT-5 next to ElevenLabs in one graph. Pick the best model per step, not per project.
  • Run frontier models locally — Ollama, MLX, and GGUF on your hardware. Works offline. Files never leave your disk.
  • Bring your own keys — Pay OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Replicate, FAL, and ElevenLabs directly. No credit markup, no provider tax.
  • Ship a workflow as a Mini-App — Hide the graph, expose just inputs and outputs. Share a link, no install required.
  • Build agents that drive workflows — Multi-step planning, tool calling, streaming. Drop them into any pipeline.
  • Chat with your documents — Local SQLite-vec, embeddings, RAG. Your data never leaves the machine.
  • Iterate visually, not via prompts — Click a node, change a value, re-run. Watch data flow through every edge.
