Something different is coming out of the lab. Alongside our games we have been building a tool we wanted for ourselves: Local Studio, a desktop app to create images and videos with AI, entirely on your own computer.
Why local
Most AI tools live in the cloud: you pay per picture, buy credits or a monthly plan, and your work goes through someone else’s servers. Local Studio runs on your own graphics card. Your pictures, videos and descriptions never leave your disk, and once it is installed it keeps working even without internet.
One window, every tool
We wanted it to feel like a photo and video editor, not a lab experiment. There are no node graphs to wire up: you describe what you want, pick a model and press Generate. From there you can turn a photo into a video with voice and sound, redo one area with a few words, remix a picture in many styles, grow it to a new shape, make it sharper and bigger, and cut your clips together in the montage.
Made for people who are not AI experts
At the first start Local Studio picks the right models for your graphics card and downloads them for you. An assistant asks what you want to do and opens the right tool, and every creation is saved with its recipe, so you can make it again or change one detail.
Where to get it
Local Studio is available now on itch.io. It needs Windows and an NVIDIA graphics card, and it is meant for adults (18+). To see it in action, take the guided tour on the Local Studio page.
