Creative Tools are Nodespell’s guided controls for familiar creative jobs, such as generating an image, removing a background, or turning a still into video. A Creative Tool lets you pick a model, fill in task-shaped inputs, and run it, while the work stays an ordinary model node in your graph with its own takes and connections.
What is a Creative Tool?
Section titled “What is a Creative Tool?”A Creative Tool is a presentation, not a separate kind of model. Each tool has a fixed job (its objective), a list of models that can do that job, a default model, and a form built from the selected model’s own settings. When you run a Creative Tool, Nodespell runs the concrete model node you chose. Pricing, results, and connections are exactly those of that model node.
Creative Tools appear in three places:
- Create workspace mode, where each tool has its own composer and a Generate-style run button. See Workspace modes.
- Graph workspace mode, where you can add a tool to the canvas as a node and edit it in the Parameters panel. See Creative Tools on the canvas.
- The node menu of an eligible model node, where Show as Creative Tool switches that node to the guided presentation.
All Creative Tools
Section titled “All Creative Tools”Nodespell currently has 19 Creative Tools. The default model is the one a tool selects when you open it; you can choose another model at any time.

In Create, the tool rail pins Image Generator, Image to Video, Audio Generator, and Image Upscaler. Open All tools to find the rest, grouped under headings such as Image, Video, Audio, and Text. The tool name at the top of a composer is also a menu that switches between tools of the same media type.
How do Creative Tools relate to model nodes?
Section titled “How do Creative Tools relate to model nodes?”Every Creative Tool run executes a concrete model node, such as Nano Banana 2 or Topaz Video Upscaler. The Creative Tool decides how that node’s settings are shown: the most common controls first, the rest under More settings, and tool-specific controls such as Cinematic Shot’s camera choices.
| Creative Tool presentation | Model node presentation | |
|---|---|---|
| What runs | The selected model node | The same model node |
| Cost and credits | The model’s own estimate | The model’s own estimate |
| Takes and history | Kept on the node | Kept on the node |
| Connections | Unchanged | Unchanged |
| Controls | Grouped, task-first, with More settings | Every native parameter in Parameters |
| Model choice | Model picker limited to models that fit the tool | Fixed to that model |
You can switch a node between the two presentations without changing what it does. A model that does not appear in a tool’s model list is still available as an ordinary model node from the Tab menu.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”How many Creative Tools does Nodespell have?
Section titled “How many Creative Tools does Nodespell have?”Nodespell has 19 Creative Tools: seven for images, seven for video, four for audio, and one for text. The table on this page lists every tool with its input, result, and default model.
Does a Creative Tool cost more than the model node it uses?
Section titled “Does a Creative Tool cost more than the model node it uses?”No. A Creative Tool runs the selected model node, so the credit estimate and the charge are those of that model. See Plans and credits.
Can I use a model that a Creative Tool does not list?
Section titled “Can I use a model that a Creative Tool does not list?”Yes, as an ordinary model node in Graph. Each Creative Tool only lists models whose inputs and results fit its job, so some models appear only in the Tab menu or the model hub.
Do Creative Tools create anything hidden in my project?
Section titled “Do Creative Tools create anything hidden in my project?”No. Running a Creative Tool from Create adds a visible model node to the current Level of your graph. You can open Graph at any time to see and edit that node.
