An AI-native creative workspace that routes the right model for every shot
Melius selects the appropriate image, video or audio model for each step, so you are not locked to a single vendor's capabilities.
Work happens on a node-based canvas where prompts stay visible and each generation is a tunable step you can re-run or adjust.
Go from product mockups and pack shots to ad variants, storyboards, lookbooks and animated statics without leaving the workspace.
Built-in agents plus Slack access, custom voices, prompt enhancement and AI search support both solo creators and shared team workspaces.
