What you can do with it

  • Write a script and break it into storyboard shots on an infinite canvas
  • Manage characters and scenes as reusable assets and generate images and video clips from them
  • Connect your own AI models, including third-party APIs or a local ComfyUI, and extend it with plugins and MCP

Make money with it

A freelancer could sell AI-made short dramas, motion comics or branded story videos to clients or publish them on short-video platforms.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Produce short promotional or story videos for clients without hiring a full animation team
  • Make storyboards and motion-comic drafts quickly to pitch ideas before paying for full production

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

You can download a desktop client from the releases page, or deploy it with Docker on a server; models are set up separately.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Image and video generation normally needs paid third-party API keys or a powerful local setup
  • The README and documentation are mainly in Chinese, and some links and sponsors are China-focused
  • Generated content may raise copyright and platform-policy questions
