Your first creation

Welcome to MotherFluxer. In the next couple of minutes you'll go from a blank chat to a finished, saved creation. Follow along — there's nothing to set up.

Start a chat and type a prompt

Everything in MotherFluxer starts in chat. Just describe what you want.

1. Open a new chat.
2. In the message box, type what you want to make. For your first try, keep it simple: a watercolor fox.
3. Press send.

That's it. You don't need special phrasing or commands — plain language works. The more specific you are ("a watercolor fox curled up asleep, soft pastel colors"), the closer the first result lands to what you pictured.

Watch it generate as an artifact card

After you send your prompt, MotherFluxer gets to work and your creation appears right in the chat as an artifact card.

• The card shows live progress while it generates, then fills in with your finished result.
• An artifact is any creation MotherFluxer makes for you — an image, a video, a document, a song, a 3D object, an App, and more. Your watercolor fox is an image artifact.
• Generating uses a small amount of credits. New accounts start with credits to play with, and you can always Add Credits later when you want more.

When the card is done, you're ready to open it and start editing.

Open it in the editor

Tap or click your artifact card to open it in the editor — a full workspace for refining your creation.

• The editor gives you a large preview of your artifact plus tools along the edges.
• Your changes save automatically as you work, and Undo and Redo on the right of the top bar step back any change, so feel free to experiment.
• Close the editor any time with the close button at the top right and come back later; your work stays with the artifact.
• You can open a card before it has finished, too. The editor shows a ring in the middle of the screen while it generates and opens your creation by itself the moment it's ready; if the generation failed, it says so instead of waiting.

There are two ways to change your creation, and you'll try both next: Smart Edit (describe what you want) and Direct Edit (hands-on tools).

Make one Smart Edit

Smart Edit lets you change your creation by simply describing what you want — no tools, no fiddling.

1. Open Smart Edit in the editor — the MotherFluxer logo, first on the left of the top bar. It opens on Discuss.
2. Type the change in plain language, for example: make the fox orange and add falling autumn leaves, and send it.
3. The AI answers with a suggested edit and its cost. Select Generate and watch MotherFluxer rework your artifact to match.

Tips for great Smart Edits:

• Ask for one or two clear changes at a time rather than a long list.
• Describe the result you want, not the steps to get there.
• Don't love the result? Edit again — each Smart Edit builds on the last.

Try one Direct Edit tool

Direct Edit is the hands-on side of the editor — tools you control yourself for precise tweaks.

1. Find the Direct Edit tools: the menus along the top bar next to Smart Edit (for an image, Add, Canvas and Layers), plus the settings that open along the bottom bar for whatever you select.
2. Try one on your artifact. For an image, a great first tool is Crop in the Canvas menu — drag the handles and watch the preview update instantly.
3. When you're happy with it, press the highlighted check mark in the small container just under the picture.

Smart Edit and Direct Edit work together: describe big changes with Smart Edit, then fine-tune the details with Direct Edit.

Save a version from the File menu

Happy with where your creation is? Your edits already save as you go, but the File menu, the last menu on the left of the top bar, keeps a version you can always come back to.

• Open File, select Save, then Save draft to capture the current state of your artifact as a saved version. Save is lit whenever you have changed something since your last saved version — even after those changes have saved on their own.
• Save a version whenever you reach a result you like — before trying a bold new change, or just to lock in a keeper.
• You can keep editing afterward, and your saved version stays safe so you can always return to it.

Saved versions are your safety net: experiment freely, and save the moments worth keeping.

Find it later in Artifacts

Your creations don't disappear when you move on — they collect in your Artifacts gallery.

1. Open Artifacts from the main navigation.
2. Browse your gallery to see every creation you've made.
3. Select your watercolor fox to reopen it in the editor and keep going.

A few things to know:

• Artifacts holds all your creations across every chat, in one place.
• You can organize related work into Projects to keep things tidy.
• When you make something you're proud of, Share it from the editor's File menu, or post it to the community with + Slop.

That's a full creation, start to finish. Now try a new prompt — make a song, a short video, a document, or a 3D object — and let MotherFluxer surprise you.

Start a new artifact without chatting

Most creations begin in chat, but you don't have to start there. From the Artifacts gallery you can create a brand-new artifact of any type and jump straight into its editor — no chat, no upload.

Open Artifacts and look at the top bar: Exit artifacts is on the left and the + Artifact button is on the right. Select + Artifact to open the picker, which has two steps:

1. Pick a type — Image, Video, Audio, 3D, Document, or App. You can also upload a file here instead.
2. Set it up — the picker is titled with your choice (for example, New Image); choose how to start, then create.

As soon as you create, the new artifact opens in its editor, ready to work on. It's also saved to your gallery, so it's waiting for you whenever you come back.

Choosing how to start each type

Each type has its own setup in the new-artifact picker (opened with + Artifact in the Artifacts gallery), with a quick way to create a fresh one on top and a row of popular community creations below.

• Image — set the canvas width and height, pick a background (transparent by default, or any solid color), and create a blank canvas at exactly that size.
• Document — choose a page size (Letter, A4, or Legal) and create an empty page, ready to type into.
• Audio — select Empty project to create an empty multi-track project; add instruments and tracks as you go.
• Video — choose an aspect ratio (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, or a custom width and height) and create an empty timeline.
• 3D — describe the model you want and generate it from your text (this uses credits); the new model opens right away, shows a ring until it finishes generating, then opens by itself, and is saved to your gallery. To build it from a picture instead, use Add picture under Start from a picture (optional): the model is shaped from your picture and your words refine it. A picture works with only one of the model choices — the setup tells you which, and Add picture is unavailable while the other is picked. Common formats work, including photos straight from your phone; if a picture can't be read on the device you're using, you're told why and what to do instead — such as uploading it from another browser or saving it as a JPEG first. The picture is used only to build the model — it isn't added to your gallery.
• App — start from a Blank app or the ready-made AI Chat app template.

Start from a community creation

Under each type's setup in the new-artifact picker (opened with + Artifact in the Artifacts gallery) is From the community, a scrollable row of popular public creations of that type. Select one and we make your own editable copy of it — free, instantly, and opening straight in the editor. It's a great way to start from something close to what you want and make it your own. Your copy is independent: changes you make never affect the original.

A new-from-scratch artifact opens in the same editor you'd use for any artifact of that type, with the full set of tools available. You can refine it by hand, ask for changes, save versions, and publish or export it — exactly like an artifact you generated from chat.
