Bring your own models. Let your AI assistant direct them.
Nomi is an open-source desktop workbench for AI video. Connect any OpenAI-compatible endpoint or your local ComfyUI, then let Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor drive it over MCP — storyboard, references, generation, and an editable first cut on a real timeline.
Your projects, prompts, and API keys stay on your machine. No account. No telemetry.

- One project, not eleven tabs. Story, shots, references, generated takes, and the timeline live in the same file on your disk instead of being copied between disconnected tools.
- Shot 4 and shot 9 should be the same person. Lock characters, locations, props, camera, and style once; later shots inherit them instead of restarting from a new prompt.
- Bring your own stack. Around ten curated providers are pre-wired, and any OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic, Responses, or relay endpoint can be added by pasting a URL and a key — no rebuild. A local ComfyUI is a provider like any other: Nomi converts the normal "Save" workflow format, so the workflows you download actually import, and it diffs the graph against
/object_infoto tell you which custom nodes and model files you are missing before you run it. - Your agent can operate it. Nine MCP tools let Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor create the project, lay out shots, wire references, and run generation, then hand you an editable first cut. Anything that spends money stops and asks you first — enforced in the main process, so an agent cannot quietly spend your money.

First launch warning on macOS or Windows
- macOS: Move
Nomi.appto Applications, runxattr -cr /Applications/Nomi.appin Terminal, then open it again. - Windows: In the SmartScreen prompt, choose More info → Run anyway.
- Connect a model. Choose a curated provider and enter one API key, or add your own OpenAI-, Responses-, or Anthropic-compatible endpoint.
- Write the intent. Start with a story or one shot. Ask Nomi—or a connected AI assistant over MCP—to build an editable storyboard and canvas plan.
- Direct and export. Review visual anchors, generate images or video with your configured models, choose the results, arrange the timeline, and export MP4.
Disclosure: one curated provider (APImart) is linked with a referral code. You always pay providers directly with your own key at their price — Nomi never proxies or resells inference, and every provider can be replaced by your own endpoint.
