A free, community-powered generation service: volunteers share spare computer power so anyone can generate images and text.

Powered by open-source [image generation workers](/contribute/workers) and [text generation workers](/contribute/workers).

Funded by donations from the public, and NLnet / NGI0 Core (Next Generation Internet).

Run by [Haidra](https://haidra.net), a community-based volunteer-run non-profit. [Read our mission.](/mission)

First [register an account](https://aihorde.net/register) which will generate an API key. Store that key somewhere safe - treat it like a password.

The easiest way to use AI Horde is through one of our user-friendly frontends. We recommend starting with **ArtBot** - a popular web-based client that's perfect for beginners.

Join our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/3DxrhksKzn) - it's the best and most active place to ask questions, get support, and connect with the AI Horde community!
