What it does

Pick who draws. Your agents keep the same image-making ability when you change providers.

  • One ability, providers you chooseSet a default provider and change the model for a particular request when you want to.
  • Never type a key twiceAlready added a Gemini or OpenRouter key for chat? Image generation reuses it. A signed-in ChatGPT or SuperGrok plan works with no key at all, flat rate rather than per image.
  • Create simple visuals on deviceCanvas makes cards, charts, and simple compositions without a key, a network connection, or a per-image bill.
  • A fallback ladderYour active provider is tried first, then these in order. Without a ladder a request your provider cannot serve simply fails instead of trying something else.
  • Reference images stay put unless you allow itPer provider, decide whether pictures you attach may be uploaded for editing. Turn it off and that provider is skipped whenever you attach one, and an allowed provider is used instead.
  • Limits shown before you generateOpenAlly shows the current prompt, reference, output, and wait boundaries for the model you chose.
