Quick start

Run a capability in four steps

Four steps: install the client, run init (Step 2 opens GitHub or Google sign-in to connect a workspace and issue an API key), run a capability, then inspect the receipt and artifact from the output below.

# 1. Install
pip install hydracept
# 2. Connect workspace (opens sign-in)
python -m hydracept init --apply --yes --wait
# 3. Run a capability
python -m hydracept run image.generate.v1 --prompt "transparent potion icon" --out potion.png
# 4. Inspect receipt + artifact (representative output below)

Representative output (step 4):

status=succeeded
Customer charged: US$0.00 (first-run managed trial)
Status: Covered by Hydracept
artifact=potion.png

Pricing

BYOK: 0% Hydracept fee · Managed: provider cost + 6%

Provider and model cost varies by capability and model. There is no Hydracept retail or list price. See the pricing page for plan and limit details.

Why Hydracept

Every job leaves a receipt.

See the model, inputs, and artifacts for a run — then ship the asset, not a screenshot of a chat window.

Game asset workflows

Generate and refine game assets.

Create concepts, iterate with image editing, select artifacts, and continue your pipeline without wiring art tools directly to a provider SDK.
