What is it?
Open Generative AI is a studio interface for generating images, videos, and lip-synced talking clips with AI models. It is built with Next.js and packaged as a desktop app via Electron, and it sends generation requests to the Muapi.ai API, which provides access to a large catalog of hosted image and video models such as Flux, Kling, Sora, Veo, and Wan.
Beyond cloud generation, the desktop app can run local image models through a bundled sd.cpp engine (SD 1.5, SDXL, Z-Image) and can route video models to a user-installed Wan2GP instance on a local folder or remote MCP server. The interface includes separate studios for image, video, audio, lip sync, cinema-style camera controls, multi-step workflows, and agent-driven generation, along with upload history and generation history stored in the browser.
The project is MIT licensed and designed to be forked and modified. Using the hosted API requires a Muapi.ai access key, while the local engines work without one.
Key features
- 01Image and video generation from text prompts and reference images across many hosted models.
- 02Lip Sync Studio that turns portrait images or videos into talking clips using uploaded audio.
- 03Local image generation through a bundled sd.cpp engine on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
- 04Video generation via a self-installed Wan2GP instance, locally or on a remote machine over MCP.
- 05Multi-image input of up to 14 reference images for compatible edit models.
- 06Node-based Workflow Studio for chaining image, video, and audio models into pipelines.
Use cases
- Producing marketing or social media image and video variations without a paid subscription.
- Making talking-head videos from a portrait and an audio track.
- Running Stable Diffusion-family image models locally on a Mac.
- Self-hosting a generative media studio that can be customized for a team or product.
Quick start
- 1
Download the desktop installer for your platform from the releases page

On macOS, clear the quarantine flag after moving the app to Applications
xattr -cr "/Applications/Open Generative AI.app"
Things to know
- The app is not notarized by Apple, so macOS Gatekeeper blocks it on first launch.
- The Windows installer is not code-signed, so SmartScreen shows a warning.
- Generation runs through the Muapi.ai API, so cloud features depend on that service.
- Local model inference needs substantial memory, and video models need an NVIDIA or AMD GPU via Wan2GP.
