# Glif

> Multi-model AI creative platform for generating images, videos, audio, and workflows.

Glif is a generative AI platform that orchestrates multiple image, video, and audio models within one interface. Originally known for community-built micro-apps and visual workflows like optical illusions, it also acts as a creative agent that routes briefs to suitable AI models automatically. It provides API access and an MCP server integration for use inside external coding agents.
