In plain English

Open Generative AI is a free, open-source program for creating images and videos with artificial intelligence. The README presents it as an alternative to commercial AI media platforms, and it groups its features into four studios: Image, Video, Cinema, and Lip Sync. The last of these can animate a portrait or match a face's lip movements to a piece of audio. Rather than running the AI models itself by default, the tool connects to a large catalog of more than 200 existing models, named ones include Flux, Midjourney, Kling, Sora, and Veo, through a service called Muapi.ai. It supports common tasks such as turning text into an image, changing an existing image, turning text or an image into a video, and feeding several reference images into models that accept them. The desktop version can also run some image models locally on your own computer using two optional engines, one bundled and one that you host separately on a machine with a suitable graphics card. There are several ways to use it. The README links to a hosted version you can try in a browser with a free account, and offers one-click desktop installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Because the desktop app is not signed by Apple or Microsoft, the README walks through the security warnings each operating system shows and how to get past them, including specific steps for newer Ubuntu versions. The project states plainly that it applies no content filters or prompt restrictions, which the author frames as full creative freedom. Readers should be aware this also means the usual safety guardrails found on commercial services are absent. The code is released under the MIT license, can be self-hosted, and is described as extensible so that users can add their own models or change the interface. The README also points to related projects from the same author and to community channels on Reddit and Discord.

Prompt 1

I'm using open-generative-ai. Help me write a text prompt that generates a realistic product photo on a white background using Flux.

Prompt 2

Using open-generative-ai on macOS, I get a security warning when opening the app. Walk me through the exact steps to open it anyway.

Prompt 3

I want to add a custom AI model to open-generative-ai. Show me where in the codebase to register it and what format it expects.

Prompt 4

Help me set up the local image generation engine in open-generative-ai on a Windows machine with an NVIDIA GPU.
