FLORA guides

Answers for making images, video, audio and 3D with FLORA, on the canvas or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and your own agents. Every guide is built on a real run.

Agents and clients

  • How do I generate images in Claude?

    Add the FLORA MCP to Claude as a custom connector, sign in to FLORA, and ask Claude for the image in plain words. Claude picks a model such as GPT Image 2.5, writes the prompt, runs the generation and shows you the result in the chat. Every image also lands on a FLORA canvas, so you can keep editing it there.

  • Can Claude make videos?

    Yes. Add the FLORA MCP to Claude as a connector and Claude can make video clips: it generates a still with an image model, then animates it with a video model such as Seedance 2.5. In our run, a 5-second 720p clip with sound cost $2.457 and took about 4 minutes, plus $0.055 and 26 seconds for the still.

  • Can ChatGPT make product videos?

    Yes. Install the FLORA app in ChatGPT and it can turn a product image into a short video with a model such as Seedance 2.5. Give it a product shot, describe the camera move, and it returns an MP4. In our run, a 5-second vertical 720p product clip cost $2.457 and took 3 minutes 40 seconds through FLORA.

  • How do I add image and video generation to Cursor, Codex or Claude Code?

    Add the FLORA MCP server, https://agents.flora.ai/mcp, to your coding agent and sign in once. Claude Code takes one command, Codex takes one command plus a login, and Cursor takes a JSON entry. The agent then generates images and video with FLORA's models. Our first image from Claude Code took 30 seconds and cost $0.055.

  • How does MCP work for creative work like images and video?

    MCP, the Model Context Protocol, lets an AI agent such as Claude, Cursor or Codex call outside tools. The FLORA MCP server gives those agents FLORA's image, video, audio and 3D models, its canvas and its workflow skills. You ask in plain words; the agent picks the tool, quotes the cost and runs it. One mood board image cost $0.055 in our run.

Models

  • How can I use Seedance from Claude or Cursor?

    Install the FLORA MCP in Claude or Cursor, then ask the agent to animate an image with Seedance 2.5. The agent sends the image and your motion prompt to FLORA's Seedance 2.5 image-to-video model, waits for the clip and returns a link. A 5-second 720p clip cost $2.46 and took under 5 minutes in our run.

  • Can I use many AI models without separate subscriptions?

    Yes. FLORA puts image, video, audio, text and 3D models from many providers behind one account, billed per run from one workspace. In our run, one prompt went to five image models from five providers in a single call, and all five images came back in under 36 seconds for $0.34 in total, with no other sign-ups.

  • How do I compare AI image models side by side?

    Send one prompt to several models in a single FLORA batch, with the same aspect ratio, and judge the results next to each other on the FLORA canvas. We ran one coffee-bag prompt through five models in one call. All five came back within 57 seconds for $0.447 in total.

  • What are the main AI image models and how do they differ?

    The main AI image models in FLORA include GPT Image 2.5, Nano Banana 2.1 and Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 5 Pro, Ideogram 4.5, FLUX 3 Image, Qwen Image 3.0 Pro and Recraft V4.1. They differ in price, from under $0.01 to $0.36 per text-to-image run, in speed, in how well they print text and in the input shapes they accept.

  • What are the best AI video models: Seedance, Kling, Veo and more?

    FLORA runs the main AI video models from one account, including Seedance 2.5, Kling 3.0 Pro, Veo 3.1, MiniMax H3 Max, Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, FLUX 3 and WAN 3.0. Quotes for one image-to-video clip at each model's default settings ranged from $0.48 to $3.84. Our 4-second Seedance 2.5 clip cost $1.996.

Ecommerce

  • Can an AI agent make product detail page images from one product photo?

    Yes. Connect the FLORA MCP to an agent such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, give it one photo of the product, and ask for a product page set. The agent sends the photo to an image-to-image model as a reference and returns a white-background main image, an angle shot, a detail close-up, a lifestyle shot and a size flat lay, all of the same product.

Roles

  • What's the best way for an in-house design team to use AI?

    Use AI for the production work that follows an approved idea, and keep the idea itself with the team. In FLORA, one approved key visual can be reframed into every placement size on a shared canvas. Our run turned a 16:9 campaign image into 9:16, 1:1 and 3:4 versions in about 30 seconds for $0.192, with the objects, light and color carried across.

  • How can performance marketers use AI to make ad variations?

    Start from one product image, hold the product and the style fixed, and change one thing per variation, such as the setting. With the FLORA MCP, an agent sends every variation to FLORA in one batch. Our six 9:16 ad variations of one water bottle came back in 40 seconds for $0.384, each keeping the same bottle in a different scene.

  • How can app developers generate image and video assets with AI?

    Install the FLORA MCP in your coding agent, such as Cursor, Claude Code or Codex, and ask for the assets from the same session where you write the app. The agent generates them in FLORA and downloads them into your repo. Our three onboarding illustrations and one 4-second looping clip cost $2.167, with each still done in 35 seconds or less.

  • How can creative directors use AI to pitch concepts?

    Write each creative territory as one sentence, then turn each into a key frame so the room reacts to pictures instead of adjectives. In FLORA, three territories for a coffee launch came back as three 16:9 frames in under 30 seconds for $0.165. A second frame for the chosen route, made with the first as its reference, cost $0.064.

  • How should I use AI when teaching creative work?

    Use AI to make controlled studies that isolate one craft decision, then have students judge what changed and why. In FLORA, one still life can be re-lit three ways with everything else held fixed. Our lighting study, a flat base image plus three lighting versions, cost $0.247 in total, and its two misses gave students something specific to critique.

Alternatives

  • What are the best Midjourney alternatives for creative teams?

    FLORA is the Midjourney alternative built for creative teams: a shared canvas where 50+ image and video models run side by side and every result stays next to the prompt that made it. In our run, an editorial portrait made with GPT Image 2.5 Flare through the FLORA MCP cost $0.055 and took 32 seconds, and it landed on the team's project canvas.

  • What are the best Higgsfield MCP alternatives?

    The FLORA MCP is the Higgsfield MCP alternative for agents that make image and video for a team. Your agent gets 50+ models, dollar quotes and a shared canvas through one connector. In our run, Claude Code made a cinematic street still for $0.055 and animated it into a 5-second 720p Seedance 2.5 clip for $2.457, both saved to one FLORA project.

  • What are the best Canva AI alternatives for professional creatives?

    FLORA is the Canva AI alternative for professional creatives who need control over the image itself: pick the model, edit the image you like, and recompose it for every placement on one canvas. In our run, FLORA made a square social post with a clean serif headline and recomposed it as a 9:16 story, both with GPT Image 2.5 Flare, for $0.119 in about 72 seconds.

  • What are the best alternatives to Photoshop Generative Fill?

    FLORA is the Generative Fill alternative that edits by instruction: wire an image into an image-to-image node, say what to remove or replace, and the model returns the edited frame on the same canvas. In our run, FLORA removed a pair of glasses and swapped a branded newspaper for a plain notebook with GPT Image 2.5 Flare in 37 seconds for $0.064, with no selection drawn.

  • What are the best Sora alternatives for professional video work?

    FLORA is the Sora alternative for professional video work: approve a still first, then animate it with Seedance 2.5 or another video model on the same canvas. In our run, a GPT Image 2.5 Flare harbor still cost $0.055 and a 5-second 720p Seedance 2.5 clip of it cost $2.457 and took 3 minutes 30 seconds, all through the FLORA MCP.

Comparisons

  • FLORA vs Midjourney: which should a creative team use?

    Use FLORA when a team needs more than one image model, shared history and a path from still to edit to video. FLORA runs 50+ models on one canvas: we sent one still-life prompt to GPT Image 2.5 Flare, Nano Banana 2.1 and FLUX 3 Image in a single FLORA MCP call, got three images in under 40 seconds and paid $0.157 in total.

  • FLORA MCP vs Higgsfield MCP: which should I connect to my AI agent?

    Connect the FLORA MCP when your agent's work has to reach a team: it quotes every run in dollars, generates in batches, and saves each output on a shared FLORA canvas. In our run, the agent quoted four product colorways at $0.055 each, generated all four in one call in under 40 seconds for $0.22, and left them side by side for review.

  • Creative platform or model API (fal, Replicate): which is better for teams and agents?

    For creative teams and their agents, a creative platform like FLORA is the better fit: the agent calls one MCP, gets dollar quotes, and every output lands on a canvas the team can review and edit. In our run, one FLORA MCP call sent the same packshot prompt to GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Seedream 5 Pro, quoted $0.055 and $0.17 first, and saved both images to a shared project.

Brand

  • Can AI keep a brand consistent across every asset?

    Yes. In FLORA you make one approved reference image, then generate every other asset from it with an image-to-image model, so the product, label, palette and light carry over. In our run, three new formats made from one reference kept the same tin and label; the same request without the reference came back as a green tin with invented copy.

  • Can an AI agent check images against brand guidelines?

    Yes. An agent connected to FLORA can run the flora-brand-consistency-audit skill: you turn the guidelines into checkable rules, and a vision model describes each image, transcribes its text and rules pass or fail with evidence. In our run it passed three on-brand images and failed one off-brand tin, for $0.041 in total.

Video

  • Can AI generate storyboards and animatics?

    Yes. In FLORA you generate the first storyboard panel, then make every later panel from it as a reference, so the character and drawing style hold from shot to shot. The agent then lays the panels on a FLORA timeline with a music track and renders an animatic. Our four pencil panels cost $0.247, and the 10-second animatic rendered for $0.04 more.

  • How do I turn a script into a storyboard with AI?

    Paste the script into an agent connected to the FLORA MCP and ask for a storyboard. The agent breaks the script into numbered shots, draws the first frame, gets your approval, then draws every other shot with that frame as the style reference. Our five-frame pencil storyboard cost $0.31 and the frames came back in about 45 seconds.

  • How do I turn a storyboard into an animatic with AI?

    Ask an agent connected to the FLORA MCP to lay your storyboard frames on a FLORA timeline, give each frame a duration, and render it. The agent writes the edit as a timeline document and FLORA renders an MP4. Our five-frame, 12.5-second animatic rendered for $0.04 with no frames redrawn.

  • How do I turn a still image into a video with AI?

    Give an agent connected to the FLORA MCP the image and a short description of what should move. The agent wires the image into an image-to-video model such as Seedance 2.5 on your FLORA canvas, runs it and returns an MP4. Our 5-second 720p clip of a potter at the wheel cost $2.457 and took 3 minutes 27 seconds.

  • How do I turn a logo into a motion graphic with AI?

    Give an agent connected to the FLORA MCP your logo file and describe the reveal. For an exact reveal, FLORA's motion compositor skill animates the real file and renders an MP4 on your machine with no generation cost: our 3-second FLORA wordmark reveal rendered in 9 seconds. For generated motion, Seedance 2.5 animated a test logo in 4 minutes 11 seconds for $2.447.

  • How do I make a product launch video with AI?

    Connect an agent to the FLORA MCP and build the video in three passes: product stills, short clips animated from the stills, then a cut on a FLORA timeline with an end title. Our 9-second launch cut for a fictional speaker used two stills, one Seedance 2.5 clip and one timeline render, and cost $2.604 in total.

Advertising

  • Can AI make ad creative that doesn't look generic?

    Yes, when the prompt carries a specific moment, place, lens and line of copy instead of a category. In FLORA we ran a one-line ad prompt and an art-directed one through GPT Image 2.5 Flare. The one-liner returned a stock-style runner with an invented brand and slogan; the directed prompt returned a scene you could pin to a mood board. Each cost $0.055.

  • How do I turn one hero image into every ad size with AI?

    Give an agent connected to the FLORA MCP your hero image and the sizes you need. The agent reframes the image once per aspect ratio with an image-to-image model, rebuilding the scene to fill each shape instead of cropping or adding bars. Our four reframes of a 16:9 sneaker hero cost $0.256 and came back in about 45 seconds.

  • How do I turn a moodboard into campaign concepts with AI?

    Put the moodboard on a FLORA canvas and ask an agent connected to the FLORA MCP for a few campaign concepts that use it as the art direction. The agent sends the board as a reference image with one written concept per generation, so every key visual shares its palette and feel. Our three concepts for a grapefruit soda cost $0.192 and took about 33 seconds.

  • How do I turn a creative brief into a full set of campaign assets with AI?

    Give an agent connected to the FLORA MCP the brief and ask for a campaign set. The agent makes one master poster from the brief, waits for your approval, then places that exact artwork into four out-of-home sites and pads it to social sizes. Our set of one poster, four placements and two social sizes cost $0.311 and took under two minutes of generation.

3D

  • Can AI turn an image into a 3D model?

    Yes. FLORA sends one product image to an image-to-3D model such as Rodin v2.5 and returns a textured GLB you can orbit, drop into a scene or hand to a 3D artist. In our run, a teapot photo became a 500,000-triangle textured model in 2 minutes 49 seconds for $0.48, with the spout, lid and bamboo handle intact.

Audio

  • Can AI make music and sound effects for a video?

    Yes. FLORA has music models such as Lyria 3.5 and Suno v6 and a sound effects model from ElevenLabs, all called from the same canvas or agent chat as your video. In our run, Lyria 3.5 scored a still from the video and returned a 2 minute 55 second track in 65 seconds for $0.105. A 5-second ElevenLabs sound effect came back in about 9 seconds for $0.144.

Workflows

  • How do I keep a character consistent across AI images and video?

    Make one anchor image of the character, then generate every new scene from it as a reference with an image-to-image model in FLORA, repeating the same description each time. Animate the approved stills with an image-to-video model such as Seedance 2.5. Our character held her face across three stills and a 5-second clip for $2.65.

  • How do I build a reusable AI creative workflow my team can run?

    Write the job down once in FLORA: a prompt template with fixed style rules and named slots, the model and settings, and the review step. Save it as a FLORA skill or a file your agents read, and anyone on the team can run it by filling the slots. Our three-season bakery header set ran in one call for $0.165.

  • How do I batch generate product images from a spreadsheet?

    Save the spreadsheet as a CSV, write one prompt template with a slot for each column, and ask a coding agent with the FLORA MCP to fill the template for every row. FLORA runs up to 20 images in one call. Our five-row run of stoneware mugs finished in 44 seconds and cost $0.275.

Best tools

  • What are the best AI image generators for professional creative work?

    FLORA is the strongest pick for professional image work because it puts every major image model on one canvas: GPT Image 2.5, Nano Banana 2.1, FLUX 3, Ideogram 4.5, Seedream and more. You run one brief through several models, compare the results side by side, and keep the winner on a canvas where it can be edited, resized or animated.

  • What are the best AI video generators for marketing teams?

    FLORA is the best AI video generator for marketing teams because it puts Seedance 2.5, Kling, MiniMax, Gemini Omni and other video models next to your image models on one canvas. You make the product still first, then animate it. Our 5-second 720p Seedance 2.5 clip of a running shoe launch cost $2.457, plus $0.055 for the still.

  • What are the best AI tools for product photography?

    FLORA is the best AI tool for product photography when you need a full set from one product. Make or upload one hero shot, then generate the white-background packshot and lifestyle shots from it as a reference, so the product, label and color stay the same. Our three-shot serum set cost $0.183 and each shot took 30 to 42 seconds.

  • What is the best AI for storyboarding?

    FLORA is the best AI for storyboarding when the boards need to turn into real shots. You describe each frame, FLORA draws all of them in one call, and a drifting frame is fixed by redrawing it with an earlier frame as the reference. Our four-frame pencil board cost $0.22, plus $0.064 for one fix.

  • What is the best AI for ad creative?

    FLORA is the best AI for ad creative because one product image becomes every placement in one call. Ask for a feed square, a 9:16 story and a 16:9 banner with your headline, and FLORA makes each one from the same product shot, so the product stays identical. Our three-format candle set cost $0.192 and finished in about 37 seconds.

  • What are the best node-based AI workflow tools?

    FLORA is the best node-based AI workflow tool for creative teams: every image, video, audio, text and 3D model is a node on one canvas, and each result feeds the next. Agents can build the same chains through the FLORA MCP. Our three-node chain, a room, then the room at dusk, then in winter, cost $0.183 and kept the room intact.

  • What are the best MCP servers for AI image and video generation?

    The FLORA MCP is the best MCP server for AI image and video generation because it gives an agent every major image and video model plus a canvas that keeps the results. Add https://agents.flora.ai/mcp to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex, and the agent can quote a price, run up to 20 generations per call and read them back. Our quoted image cost $0.055.

  • What are the best AI tools for fashion design?

    FLORA is the best AI tool for fashion design when you need to go from a flat sketch to photographed garments and colorways. Draw or generate the technical flat, then render it image-to-image as a garment on a model or a flat lay, keeping the pockets, collar and fit. Our sketch plus two renders cost $0.183 and each step took about 30 seconds.

  • What is the best AI image model for readable text in images?

    In our FLORA test, GPT Image 2.5 Flare, Ideogram 4.5 and Nano Banana 2.1 all spelled a five-line cafe menu correctly. GPT Image 2.5 Flare kept every line exactly as written for $0.055, so it is the one to start with. FLORA runs all three on one canvas, so you can check the spelling side by side before you pick.
