# What is Melius?

> A creative canvas for generating, iterating, and composing AI images and video.

Melius is a visual canvas for AI-generated images, video, audio, and text. You arrange **nodes** on an infinite **canvas**, wire them together with **edges**, and run generations across the latest image, video, audio, and language models from one place. Multiplayer is built in — collaborators (and AI agents) show up on the canvas in real time.
