# AI Playground The **Playground** is your open sandbox for AI generation — video, audio, music, sound effects, images, and more. Unlike the Director (which plans full productions), the Playground lets you generate freely with any model. And it comes with its own **AI assistant** that knows every model inside out.
*** ### What's available | Category | What you can generate | | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Video** | Text-to-video, image-to-video, video editing, style transfer | | **Audio** | Music generation, sound effects, voice synthesis | | **Image** | Text-to-image, image editing, upscaling | | **Text** | Copywriting, script generation, prompt optimization | 50+ models across categories — and growing. *** ### Playground AI Assistant Don't know which model to use? Don't know the right settings? The **Playground AI assistant** is trained on every available model — their capabilities, limitations, optimal settings, and best prompting techniques. | What it knows | How it helps | | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Every model's strengths and weaknesses | Recommends the right model for your task | | Optimal settings per model | Sets parameters automatically | | Prompting techniques | Writes better prompts than you would manually | | Model limitations | Steers you away from prompts that will fail | > Same expertise as the AI Director — but for any model in the Playground. *** ### When to use Playground vs. Director | Use case | Best tool | | ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | Multi-scene video with consistency | **AI Director** | | Quick one-off video generation | **Playground** | | Generate a music track for your video | **Playground** | | Create sound effects | **Playground** | | Generate reference images | **Playground** | | Experiment with different models | **Playground** | | Full production pipeline | **AI Director** → **Preview** → **Studio** | *** ### How it connects to the rest Anything you generate in the Playground lands in your **Assets** library. From there, you can: * Use it in a Director project (as an element or reference) * Drag it into Studio for editing * Download it directly
