What it does
The server connects the agent to image and video generation and helps produce assets for ads and products. There is a remote option and a local npm server with more tools. It ships with a library of over a thousand ready prompt templates and prompt-improvement hints. Local generation supports MeiGen cloud, OpenAI-compatible APIs and a local ComfyUI. Several tasks can run in parallel, and there is a separate CLI for scripts.
Who it is for. For designers, marketers and content people who need image and video generation right from the agent.
