About ai-canvas-tauri

AI Canvas Tauri is a desktop app where text, images, video, audio, storyboards and 3D blocking sit as linked nodes on one canvas. A drama gets one canvas per episode, while characters and assets are shared across the whole show. It runs ComfyUI workflows, cloud models and a chat agent that can edit the canvas. It's source-available, not open source: you can study, change and use it in-house, but not resell or rebrand it.

Best for: Creators who want a local, node-based workspace to plan and produce a whole AI drama series.

What it does

  • Links text, image, video, audio, storyboard, panorama and 3D director nodes on one canvas
  • Splits a show into episodes, each on its own canvas, with a shared character and asset library
  • Runs ComfyUI workflows on several servers, RunningHub cloud workflows and Dreamina
  • Lets a chat agent query or edit the canvas, generate media and send out read-only sub-agents
  • Cuts the result in a built-in multi-track editor with trims, transitions, text and audio
  • Takes JavaScript or Python plugins from a local folder, a market or GitHub releases
