Pollinations.ai provides an API and related infrastructure for AI-native builders. Its catalog includes models from official providers and the community for image, text, audio, video and 3D, and embeddings. The platform also supports building agents and apps, with hosted agents and MCP tools available.
Additional capabilities include media storage for images, audio and video, configurable safety checks, and tools for user sign-in and usage billing. Developers can publish models and agents to the community, though publishing is in alpha and requires publisher access.
