What agent-media brings
- One credit balance across video, image and voice models.
- Crazy characters: a new character with one exaggerated trait.
- Product-in-hand ads: a creator holding your product to camera.
- The same account works from the web app, the CLI, the REST API or any MCP client.
- Live models: Seedance 2.0 and 2.5 (video), GPT Image 2, 2.5 and 2.5 Flare, Nano Banana Pro (image), ElevenLabs (voice).
