Glyph · 2026
A node-based image workspace for character-consistent generation. Lock a character's identity once, then branch into scenes and styles on one canvas, instead of re-prompting a chat and watching the face drift.
read how it was built ↓Illustrators, brand teams and game studios need the same character in many scenes and styles. Chat-based image tools redraw the whole picture on every edit, so identity drifts. Glyph treats a character as a thing you build once and then reuse, with the parts you keep kept apart from the parts you change.
The fingerprint holds what must not move. The prompt holds what should. A generation is built from both, with the locks written out explicitly.
Every step is a node with typed connections, so you can see how an output was made and rerun any branch with a different scene or style.
Background removal, masks, inpainting and upscaling run in a separate Python worker and through fal.ai, so the Next.js app stays responsive.
Each model has a credit cost set against its real provider cost, charged through an idempotent ledger so a retry never bills twice.
Billing, roles, sharing and a private admin console were built in the same fortnight as the canvas.
General image tools are chat boxes: you describe a change and the model redraws everything. Other character tools save a reference image, but a reference is not a description of what must stay fixed.
Identity is turned into a structured fingerprint, and the prompt builder emits an identity lock, a style lock, colour and expression constraints, and an explicit drift-prevention list.
Credits run through a ledger with idempotency keys, and each model's credit price was set against its provider cost with a target margin.
They moved to a Python worker with CPU-friendly dependencies, deployable as its own service.
Development and production use separate storage buckets, so deleting dev assets is safe.
The admin lives in a private app on its own deployment, sharing the database and auth shape, with role checks and TOTP.
Glyph is live with a free tier and paid plans. These numbers describe what was built. There are no usage figures on this page.
A node-based image workspace with identity locks, credit billing and models for images, video and 3D.
Every account starts free with the full model catalogue and 150 monthly credits.
A city-based shift marketplace for multi-location employers and flexible workers: post public or private jobs, build a vetted roster, auto-schedule by reliability and distance, track live shifts and approve timesheets, with a worker mobile app and AI assistants that answer from live data.
