Photo and video generation

In addition to text and tool-assisted queries, clai provides dedicated modes for image (photo) and video (video) generation.

• -pm <model> — Override the photo model.
• -p-dir <dir> — Directory to write generated images into.
• -p-prefix <prefix> — Filename prefix for generated images.
• -P <prompt> — Prepend a reusable style prompt to the photo request.

Generating videos with clai video

Configure video generation settings with clai setup 2 or pass -vm:

clai -v-dir ./clips -v-prefix demo video "Retro CRT terminal typing green monospace code"

• -vm <model> — Override the video model.
• -v-dir <dir> — Output directory for generated video files.
