PRODUCT AD
AGENT-NATIVE
It runs where you already work.
Install the plugin and your agent’s chat becomes the production chat. The engine ships once as an MCP toolset — one toolset, whichever harness you use.
01
Runs in Claude Code or Codex
Install OpenMontage as a plugin and it runs inside the agent you already use — a toolset in your terminal, not another app to run. We never meter your local work.
02
No subscription? Still welcome
OpenCode with open models — down to fully free, fully local. Nobody is turned away.
03
Or skip the terminal entirely
The same production board opens in OpenMontage Studio — in private alpha, beta releasing soon.

THE DESKTOP APP
OpenMontage Studio.
A warm production board over the same engine — storyboard, script, approvals, renders. Chat steers everything; every card the agent makes is something you can read and question. Free for everyone.

STORYBOARD YOU STEER
Scene cards are the feedback unit. Click one, tell the agent what to change.
THE GATE, VISUALIZED
Full script, scene plan and cost estimate — before a single credit is spent.
VOICE PERSONAS
Waveform transcript — select one sentence and give notes on that span.
EVERY FORMAT
16:9, 1:1, 9:16 with captions, languages and a per-asset provenance report.
THE POSTURE
Open where
it counts.
The engine is open source and public. The project format is published — your productions are plain files, yours forever. Studio is free for everyone. You pay only for generation through our cloud, and you always see the price first.
01
Local-first
Your footage never leaves your machine. Composition and rendering happen on it.
02
Bring your own agent
Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode. Bring your own keys and providers too — always allowed, always free.
03
Budget governance built in
Every generate action shows its cost before you click, and failed generations auto-refund.
04
No watermarks. Ever.
Nothing on your own compute is metered, capped or stamped — all resolutions, commercial use, every tier.
05
Steerable at every step
Brief, script, scene plan — every artifact the agent makes is a document you can read, question and change.
06
Open engine & format
The engine is open source and the project format is published, so your work is never locked in.
