About NodeTool

NodeTool is a local-first visual environment for building and running AI workflows. It empowers developers and creators to build sophisticated AI applications through an intuitive node-based interface.

What is NodeTool?

NodeTool transforms AI development by providing a visual programming environment where you can:

  • Build AI Workflows Visually: Create complex AI pipelines using an intuitive drag-and-drop node editor
  • Run Locally: Your data and models stay on your machine - privacy by design
  • Multi-Model Support: Integrate with OpenAI, Anthropic, Replicate, ComfyUI, and more
  • Real-Time Streaming: Token-by-token LLM streaming and progressive image generation
  • Extensible Architecture: Build custom nodes and extend functionality
  • Deploy Anywhere: Run workflows on your local machine, server, or cloud

Key Features

Visual Node Editor

Build AI workflows using a powerful node-based interface inspired by tools like ComfyUI and Blender. Connect nodes to create pipelines for text generation, image processing, audio synthesis, and more.

Actor-Based Streaming Architecture

NodeTool uses an innovative actor-based execution model that enables:

  • Real-time token streaming from LLMs
  • Progressive image generation with intermediate results
  • Concurrent node execution without blocking
  • Built-in backpressure management

Privacy-First Design

  • All processing happens locally on your machine
  • No data sent to external servers (unless you explicitly use cloud APIs)
  • Full control over your AI models and data

Rich Node Library

  • LLM nodes for text generation and chat
  • Image generation and manipulation
  • Audio processing and synthesis
  • Video processing capabilities
  • Data transformation and utilities
  • Custom node support
