NodeTool

The agent-first creative workspace·nodetool.ai

NodeTool is an open-source, agent-first creative workspace where every editor — a node canvas, sketch pad, storyboard, video timeline, script editor, 3D scene, and app builder — is exposed to agents as tools. Users describe what they want and an agent builds and runs the workflow across models from every major provider, using the user's own API keys. It runs as a free desktop app (Studio) on macOS, Windows, and Linux, or in the browser via NodeTool Cloud (currently in alpha).
