Melius

Creative-canvas AI agent. Describe the brief; Mel routes the work across leading image, video, and audio models (Flux, Nano Banana, Veo, Kling, Seedance, ElevenLabs, and more) and lays every step out as editable nodes on a canvas. Same agent runs through a web app for creators and an MCP server for teams driving it from Claude or any AI stack. Beta. Pricing subject to change.

MiniMax

MiniMax pay-as-you-go API platform. Video generation via Hailuo models (2.3 / 2.3 Fast / Hailuo-02), image generation via image-01, plus speech and LLM endpoints. Developer-facing alternative to the Hailuo consumer subscription.

Pros

Single agent (Mel) auto-routes across 45+ image, video, and audio models, no per-tool subscription juggling
MCP server lets you drive Melius from Claude or any team AI stack; unlimited MCP calls on Growth and Professional plans
Node-level prompt visibility, every step Mel takes is editable on the canvas, not a black box

Cons

Beta product, pricing explicitly subject to change
No free tier and no annual discount disclosed
Large jump from Growth ($45) to Professional ($240) with no mid-tier option

Model availability
