Genesis AI is a flexible workspace for creating with the AI models you choose. Chat, generate and edit images, compare models, explore ideas, and turn text into speech from one app. Bring your own provider key: add keys for supported cloud providers including OpenAI, Claude, Google Gemini, NVIDIA, OpenRouter, Ollama Cloud, and Black Forest Labs. Keys are stored in your device’s Keychain, not bundled in the app. Requests go directly to the provider you select. Provider usage may require a separate account or credits. Sovereign AI: connect an Ollama server or an OpenAI-compatible chat or image endpoint running on your Mac or local network. Enter your model ID and base URL, with an optional server key. Switch to a private tailnet or HTTPS address to access your server while away. Availability depends on your server and network. Create images, edit with reference images on compatible models, and keep finished results in Genesis Library. Choose among available models to match the task. Genesis AI does not include cloud API credits. You control which providers you connect and any charges on those services.
