Overview
Jaaz is a desktop app (Windows, macOS) with an infinite canvas and a chat agent that generates images and video. It calls cloud models such as GPT-4o, Midjourney, VEO3 and Kling, or local ones through ComfyUI and Ollama. The server is Python 3.12+ and the front end is React, so it can also be built manually on Linux.
Who it is for: Creators wanting a local-first canvas for AI image and video generation
Strengths
- Works with both cloud video/image APIs and local ComfyUI models
- Sketch and arrow input on the canvas, so prompts are optional
- Manual build path from source: React front end plus Python server
- Prebuilt Windows and macOS releases on GitHub
Weaknesses
- License is not identified (NOASSERTION); commercial terms unclear, with a separate paid enterprise edition
- README gives no RAM, VRAM or hardware requirements
- No Docker image in the repo; Docker is only offered with the paid edition
- Last release is 2025-08-09; manual install steps clone a different repo name (localart)
What it needs
- GPU optional

- Models: GPT-4o, Midjourney, VEO3, Kling, Seedance
