Generate from your assistant
Connect RenderHour to Claude, ChatGPT or any other MCP client and ask for an image, a clip, a voice-over or a batch of ads for your product in plain words. You sign in with your account; no key is needed. Generations spend your credits at the regular price and land in Assets.
To work from a photo, give the assistant its link or pick it from Assets: it brings the image in with upload_image and passes it to the model. For ads, it reads your brand off your website and your product off its page, shows the price, then makes up to 20 different ads in 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16.
