Invoke AI

Over the last couple of months I contributed to the open-source Invoke AI project. Invoke is a canvas-based generative AI tool that feels closer to Photoshop or GIMP than a single prompt box, which makes fast iteration and visual control a lot easier. It combines a layered canvas with node-based workflows, so you can mix prompts, masks, control images, and iterative edits without leaving the app.

My contributions focused on general improvements across the stack:

  • UI and workflow polish to make the canvas experience smoother.
  • TypeScript improvements on the frontend.
  • Python-side tweaks for stability and performance.

If you want to check it out, the code is on GitHub: Invoke AI and the Invoke AI Launcher.
