Knouds lets you build AI-powered workflows on a visual canvas and deploy them as production-ready API endpoints — no code required for the canvas, and full programmatic control when you need it. Connect image generators, video models, LLMs, and music generators into pipelines that run with a single API call.

Quick Start

Create your first workflow and run it via API in under 5 minutes.

API Reference

Full reference for the Knouds REST API — run workflows, call models, manage workflows.

Node Types

Learn about every node type available on the canvas: inputs, generators, LLMs, and more.

Plans & Billing

Understand credits, tier plans, and how to top up your balance.

How Knouds works

Knouds is built around three ideas: nodes, workflows, and deployments.
  • Nodes are the building blocks — each one represents an operation like generating an image, running an LLM prompt, or accepting an input from your API caller.
  • Workflows are collections of connected nodes. You wire them together on the canvas to form a pipeline.
  • Deployments make a workflow callable as an API endpoint. Any approved Knouds account can call a deployed workflow via POST /api/workflows/:slug/run using an API key.
1

Sign up and get approved

Create an account at knouds.ai. New accounts go through a brief approval step before you can run workflows.
2

Build a workflow on the canvas

Drag nodes from the sidebar, connect them with wires, and configure each node’s settings. Add a Request Input node to define the inputs your API callers will provide.
3

Generate your API key

Open the Developer Dashboard, click Create Key, and pick a preset (Read-only / Workflow Deploy / Webhook receiver / Full deploy). Copy the plaintext value — it’s shown once. Pro tier or higher is required to create usable keys.
4

Call your workflow

Send a POST request to https://knouds.ai/api/workflows/your-workflow-slug/run with your inputs in the body and your API key in the x-api-key header.
