What is CNAPS, and how does it work?

CNAPS is a no-code workflow builder that connects image, video and text AI models. Users can pick a goal and let models chain automatically, or wire nodes on a canvas in CNAPS Studio and swap models at any time. The homepage lists categories such as video generation, image generation, upscaling, editing, background removal, sound and music, and reasoning models. The pricing page describes Free, Starter, Pro, Business and Enterprise plans.

How to use CNAPS for chaining AI models into a media workflow

Set up CNAPS

  1. Create an account and start on the Free plan
  2. Open CNAPS Studio or pick a goal in goal mode
  3. Select the models to use for each step
  4. Optionally create an API key to call flows from n8n or Zapier

Example: chaining AI models into a media workflow

  1. Drop an image into the input node
  2. Add a background removal node then an upscaling node
  3. Run the flow and inspect the output
  4. Swap the upscaler model and run again to compare

Review and export the result

  1. Check that the output has no watermark if on a paid plan
  2. Watch the GPU time use in the run to size a plan
