Reviewer scorecard

Builder

API integration is clean. The prompt rewriting feature improves results but can be bypassed for precise control.

80/100 · ship

State machines for interactive animations are brilliant. Runtime SDKs for every platform and file sizes are tiny.

Creator
45/100 · skip

Good but not as good as Midjourney for artistic work. The style is recognizably 'DALL-E' which limits creative range.

80/100 · ship

The animation editor is intuitive and state machines make interactive animations possible without code.

Skeptic
80/100 · ship

Reliable, well-documented API, integrated into ChatGPT. The safe choice for product image generation.

80/100 · ship

Better than Lottie in every way — smaller files, interactive state machines, and cross-platform consistency.
