What is this?
BeefTV is an AI-native video creation workspace where you work on an infinite canvas, connecting prompts, AI models, and media assets to generate and iterate on images, video, audio, and text.
Is this a desktop app or a web tool?
It is a native desktop application built with React, Go and Wails, not a browser-based tool. The model protocol and workspace capabilities can be further customized or extended.
How do I get it running?
Download the desktop build; Mac users should follow the first-launch instructions in the Quick Start guide, and Windows build/local dev steps are covered in QUICKSTART.md and the desktop release docs.
Do I need my own AI provider accounts to generate content?
Yes — you freely configure your own text, image, video, and audio model channels after first launch; BeefTV isn't locked to a single provider.
Is the Windows build ready to use right out of the box?
The Windows build and local development setup require following a separate detailed guide (QUICKSTART.md and the desktop release docs) rather than being a single one-click install like the macOS build.
What can I actually generate on the canvas?
From prompts or reference assets you can generate text, images, video, and audio, then crop, annotate, inpaint, split, reference, and combine the results into an evolving workflow.
Why use a node-and-canvas layout instead of a timeline?
The canvas lets you build relationships between assets, creation context, and generation flow using nodes and connections, so a single generation can be reused and iterated rather than being a one-off clip.
Does it lock me into one AI provider?
No, model channels for text, image, video, and audio are configured by you, so BeefTV can connect to multiple providers rather than a single one.
What else is included besides the canvas?
BeefTV also ships a project library, a personal asset library, async task management, and model-channel management alongside its creation tools.
