Chapter 1 — Foundations¶
If this is your first day, this is the chapter to read. It introduces every term, agent, and tool you'll see across the rest of the wiki. The goal: when an agent says "the Visual Planner returned the storyboard" or "run the Generation Runner on the .nbflow", you know what they mean.
What you'll learn¶
- What AI image and video generation actually is
- What a prompt, an avatar, a reference image, and a workflow are
- The 6 pipeline stages from brief to finished video
- Who the agents are (the Manager, Script Writer, Visual Planner, Image Prompter, Veo Prompter, Generation Runner)
- The tools you'll be using (PatchWork, Generation Runner, G-Labs) at an introductory level
- Operational ground rules (cost awareness, security, pipeline limits)
Sections¶
