Consistency Engine
Your characters actually look like the same person.
Every AI tool generates one-off images. Shot 1 looks nothing like shot 47. Skia's consistency engine uses face embeddings to validate every generation against your character's reference portraits — then tracks drift across entire sequences so you catch problems before they compound.
- Every face checked against your character references in ~35ms
- Scene coherence scored against your locations and moodboards
- Drift alerts before inconsistencies compound across sequences
Skia Agent
Direct your AI. In plain English.
The Skia Agent knows your characters, locations, and style guides. Tell it what you want — it composes prompts from your world bible, generates images and video, and writes screenplay scenes. No prompt engineering. No copy-pasting descriptions between tools.
- Knows your characters, locations, and style — no re-explaining between sessions
- Composes prompts and triggers generations directly from conversation
- Tunable per project — set a system prompt to match your creative direction
Models
Every major model. One interface.
Generate with Veo, Sora, Kling, FLUX, or run models locally on your Mac. Switch providers any time — your characters, prompts, and timeline stay the same.
