Texel.ai

Texel is a cloud-native platform that enables users to generate and process images and videos using GPU workflows through simple REST APIs. This software eliminates the need for hardware management or scalability concerns, providing a range of AI-powered tools for creative and technical applications.

Key features:

- Text-to-Image Generation: Create images from text prompts using models from Hugging Face or CivitAI.
- Advanced Image Manipulation: Utilize ControlNet, image2image, inpainting, and upscaling capabilities at no extra cost.
- Personalized Image Training: Fine-tune diffusion-based models with custom images for faces, pets, or other concepts.
- Video Editing: Apply a series of transformations to videos by specifying source and destination URLs.
- Render Streaming: Run Unity, Unreal, or other game engines on Texel's servers and stream results via interactive WebRTC sessions.
- Pay-as-you-go Pricing: Simple credit-based pricing model for each API, with enterprise plans available for custom needs.

How it works:

1. Users sign up on the Texel website and receive 5,000 free credits.
2. Users submit text prompts or image bundles to the API for image generation or training.
3. Fine-tuned models can be created and downloaded, with storage on Texel's servers for seven days.
4. For video editing and game engine streaming, users provide URLs and specify transformations or settings.

Integrations:

Hugging Face, CivitAI, Unity, Unreal Engine, WebRTC
