Overview

Cave Gen Studio is a modern, full-stack web application designed for generating and managing cinematic assets and AI-powered video shots. The application serves as a "Video Studio" interface where users can interact with Google's advanced Generative AI models. Users can write prompts to generate storyboards, create images (via Imagen 4), and direct video shots (via Veo). It also includes features for managing these assets into different projects and exploring community mock data.

/api/storyboard/generate

For creating prompted scenes.

/api/images/generate

Hitting the Google AI APIs to create images.

/api/videos/generate

The core endpoint hitting the Google AI APIs to create videos.

/api/assets & /api/projects

Standard CRUD operations for user data management.
