node-red-contrib-kavel 1.0.0
Node-RED node for Kavel: turn a prompt into an AI image, or edit an image, and get back a CDN link. Works on the free tier with no API key.
node-red-contrib-kavel
Kavel is a free AI video generator and AI image generator — 4K clips with sound, and images you can run without an account or a card. This Node-RED node brings its image side into your flows: send a prompt, get back a link to the finished image, or pass an image URL and an instruction to edit it.
No API key is needed to start. Without one the node uses Kavel's free tier (a small daily allowance, watermarked images). Add a key from kavel.ai/settings/apikeys to run on your account's credits.

The same model powers Kavel's photo tools on the web, for example adding someone to a photo they missed: add person to photo.
