Brainy CanvasTurn one idea into
142+ AI models from 36+ providers at wholesale prices — 1 credit = $0.005, zero markup, no reseller tax. Connect them on one visual canvas, built for people and AI agents (MCP + API).
One canvas for agents and humans
Agents need a structured place to build. Humans need a visual place to understand, edit, and create. Brainy Canvas is designed for both sides of that loop.
For AI agents
Connect over MCP (OAuth 2.1) or the HTTP API to remix templates, patch nodes, upload files, run workflows, and pull outputs — generating with 142+ models at wholesale prices, and leaving a canvas humans can inspect instead of a hidden transcript.

Students, creators, builders, marketers, and teams can drag, connect, rerun, and compare model outputs without writing glue code. The canvas keeps the source, branches, and outputs visible.

Frequently asked questions
What is Brainy Canvas?
Brainy Canvas is a visual AI playground that lets you build powerful workflows by dragging, connecting, and running nodes on an interactive canvas. Instead of writing code or switching between tools, you visually connect AI models to create pipelines that generate images, videos, audio, slides, study materials, diagrams, and more. With access to 142+ models from 36+ providers — including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Mistral — Brainy Canvas gives you a single workspace for all your AI-powered creative and productivity tasks.
How does Brainy Canvas work?
You start by dragging nodes onto the canvas — each node represents a task like text input, image generation, video creation, or OCR extraction. Connect nodes together to pass output from one step as input to the next. When your workflow is ready, hit run and watch the pipeline execute. Multi-source input lets you combine context from several nodes into a single step, making complex workflows simple to build.
Is Brainy Canvas free to use?
Yes. The Hobby plan is completely free and includes 200 one-time credits to get started — no credit card required. For heavier usage, Premium offers 6,400 credits per month at $29.99/month and Ultra offers 25,000 credits per month at $99.99/month. Annual billing gives you 2 months free.
What does "wholesale pricing" mean?
Model calls are billed at pass-through provider cost: 1 credit = $0.005, with zero markup added on top. Most AI creative platforms resell the same model calls at a multiple. Every model lists its live credit cost at /prices, so you can check the math against provider list prices yourself.
What can I create with Brainy Canvas?
Almost anything that involves AI generation or transformation. Common workflows include: generating images with DALL-E or gpt-image-1, creating videos with Minimax or Runway, building slide presentations with AI-generated visuals, extracting text from documents via OCR, producing narrated video explainers, generating flashcards and study notes for learning, converting files between formats, and building multi-step chat workflows.
What AI models does Brainy Canvas support?
Brainy Canvas integrates 142+ models from 36+ providers spanning text, image, video, audio, speech, and vision. Providers include OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek, xAI, Cohere, Perplexity, Together AI, ElevenLabs, Minimax, Runway, Luma AI, and more. New models are added regularly.
Do I need to write code to use Brainy Canvas?
No. Brainy Canvas is entirely visual — you build workflows by dragging nodes and drawing connections. There is a code editor node available for users who want to include code snippets in their workflows, but it is completely optional.
Can AI agents use Brainy Canvas?
Yes. Brainy Canvas ships an MCP server with OAuth 2.1 (works with Claude Code and Claude Desktop via one command) and an HTTP API with bc_live_ keys. Agents can remix templates, patch nodes, upload files, run workflows, and retrieve outputs — using Brainy Canvas as a visible creative workspace instead of a hidden transcript. See /agents for the full guide.
Who is Brainy Canvas for?
Brainy Canvas is built for AI agents first, then people who work visually: creators, students, educators, builders, developers, marketers, founders, and teams that want to connect many AI models without writing glue code.
