The Node Agent
The Krea Team March 18, 2026
Krea's Node Agent turns a sentence into a runnable creative workflow. You type what you want to make. It reads your canvas, plans the pipeline, wires the nodes, and runs the job.
Agentic AI has mostly lived in developer tools until now. Here's what it looks like when it's built for creative work instead.
Starting a workflow
You write something like "cinematic video of a futuristic city at sunset" and the agent starts by reading your canvas. Whatever's already there, it factors in: existing nodes, connections, outputs from earlier runs. If you have a style node from a previous session, it reuses that instead of creating a new one.
Most AI tools treat every request as a blank slate. The Node Agent doesn't. It sees your full canvas state, not just the words you typed.
Plan, then build
The agent shows you a plan before it touches anything. For that futuristic city, the plan might be four stages: prompt refinement, image generation on K1 or Flux, enhancement, then video. You can swap models or drop stages before it starts building.
Once you approve, nodes appear on your canvas one layer at a time. Each one wires into the last as it's placed.
Validation and cost
Before the job runs, the agent walks the full graph. If a parameter is missing, it fills it in. If an output is feeding into an incompatible input, it either fixes the connection or adds a conversion node between them.
Then it shows you compute cost, broken down per node. Nothing runs until you say go.
Iterate, don't restart
Results show up right on your canvas.
When you change something, the agent only reruns what's downstream of the edit. Swap a prompt at the top of a ten-node chain and the first nine cached results stay put. Only the affected nodes reprocess. You're iterating on a piece of the pipeline, not rebuilding the whole thing every time.
Under the hood
Planning and reasoning come from frontier LLMs, including Anthropic's models. Generation runs on Krea's own models and whatever else is available on the platform: K1, Flux, Imagen, video, enhancement. The agent picks based on what you asked for and what's already on the canvas.
Most agentic AI tools target developers and data teams. This one is for people who make things for a living. A ten-node creative pipeline shouldn't require you to learn node graphs. You describe what you want and adjust what comes back.
