# 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.

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

### 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
