About pai-code

PAI-Pro adds filmmaking skills to your own Claude Code or Codex agent. You get scripts, images, video, voice, a canvas and a timeline. One paid API key covers image, video, voice and 4K upscaling. Generations cost money, and the license blocks most commercial use.

Best for: Filmmakers who want an agent-run studio on their own machine, from script to finished shots.

What it does

  • Adds filmmaking skills for scripts, images, video and voice
  • Shows a canvas and timeline for scenes, assets and shot order
  • Covers image, video, voice and 4K upscaling with one PAI_KEY
  • Stages paid generations before they run, so you see the cost first
  • Runs in Docker or on your host, with the agent switchable per project
  • Lets you preupload assets for looser video moderation

Reviewed Oct 1, 2026. Custom PAI PRO Sustainable Use License: personal, research and internal business use are allowed; selling it or hosting it for others needs a commercial license. Runs on a paid API service that supports the project, and some skills are proprietary. We write these descriptions ourselves. The repo's own docs are the final word.
