𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗟𝗘𝗠

AI platforms like krea.ai Weavy, ComfyUI, Luvian, FLORA, and Adobe Firefly each now have between 30-300 separate AI models.

Sure, they're categorized:

 • Generate Image (30+ models)

 • Edit Image (16+ models)

 • Generate Video (28+ models)

 • Enhance, Motion Transfer, 3D...

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆.

Even with hover states, showing additional information, I'm manually filtering through 100+ options hoping to find the right one.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗘 𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗢𝗚𝗬

Imagine a coffee shop with 134 different beans on the menu.

Each has a description you can hover over: "Ethiopian Yirgacheffe - floral notes, medium body, bright acidity..."

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝟭𝟯𝟰 𝗰𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

You want to say: "Strong but not bitter."

The barista shows you 3 options.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗜 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗛 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘

Instead of scrolling 134 models by media type alone, answer a few questions, or click some check boxes:

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴?

→ Photo of people / Product shot / Video with lip sync / Logo

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆?

→ Speed (cheap iteration) / Balance / Quality (finals)

𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀?

→ Under 20 credits / Vector output / 4K resolution

Result: 2-4 models that match. Not 134.

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦

Model count is growing - 500+ models next year

New models launch weekly - can't keep track

Credit costs are real - wrong video model = £20 wasted

Professionals need speed - not 20 minutes of research

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘

✓ Categories (organizing by "tools" and "other tools")

✓ Hover states (still 100+ descriptions to read)

✓ Documentation (external research)

✓ Pre-built node boards (do they get updated with newer models)

❌ Filtered search

Can't say: "Show me cheap video models under 20 credits with lip sync" and get 3 results instead of 28.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗫 𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗬

This exists everywhere:

 • Amazon filters

 • Airbnb search

 • Spotify playlists

 • E-commerce solved this 20 years ago.

Why are AI platforms making me parse 134 options in 2026?

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗟

Add filtered search:

 • Media type (image/video/3D/audio)

 • Quality tier (iteration/professional/best)

 • Cost range (under 10/50//100/400/800/unlimited credits)

 • Capabilities (lip sync/vector output/consistency)

 • Speed (under 30s/2m/any)

Pros don't have time to hover over 134 descriptions.

☕ Make it like ordering coffee a coffee drive through via your app, not grinding your own beans by hand

Which platform will be first to add filtered search?
