                          ▪ AGENT

                          It reads your project. Then it builds.

                          Describe what you want. The Agent reads your layers, keyframes, and effects — then executes directly in After Effects. Rig characters, animate, build HUDs, create backgrounds. Powered by OpenRouter — hundreds of models, many completely free.

                            

                          ENGINE

                          Plugin SDK C++ — not CEP

                          Built on Adobe's Plugin SDK with native C++ architecture. Not a web extension. Not a workaround. Direct integration with After Effects.

                          Native browser engine

                          Chromium on Windows. Safari engine on Mac. The same engines that power Edge and Safari. Real browser behavior, every time.

                           

                          Windows & macOS

                          Full support on both platforms. Same features, same performance. No platform left behind.

                           

                          BYOK — any provider

                          Bring your own API key. Use OpenRouter or Google Studio. Your keys, your data, your choice.
