Pika

Start one generation from one of Pika's curated presets, filling its slots; omit max_credits for a price quote.

create_from_preset

Edit a photo from instructions, pinned spots and reference images, such as restaging a product photo in a setting from reference_urls; in instructions @image1 is the photo and @image2 the first of reference_urls.

edit_image

Edit a source clip in video_urls from a prompt (model seedance-25 or gemini-omni); the result keeps the clip's timing and framing.

edit_video

Render the timeline to an MP4 (free). Uses the current revision unless `revision` is given.

export_project

Use this when you can run a command with internet access where the user's file is (their machine, or your sandbox that has it); for a chat attachment, upload_file (if offered); otherwise show_upload. Returns a presigned URL and a curl command: run it there, never pass the bytes as base64 or text, then pass `media_url` in the app's input. `size_bytes` must be exact; the URL expires at `expires_at`.

prepare_upload

Generate an image from a prompt, or from a prompt and reference images up to the model's cap; write @image1 in the prompt to point at the first reference. For several takes, pass prompts in one call.

create_image

List the options one slot takes in one of Pika's curated presets, as data; shows the user nothing.

list_preset_options

List Pika's apps as data (id, name, what each makes); shows the user nothing.

list_apps

List Pika's curated presets for one app (`pika`: every themed set), or one of its collections (camera moves, voices), with each preset's slots, as data; shows the user nothing. Where the app's tool takes a `prompt`, a look the user describes works instead of a preset.

list_presets

Read the user's jobs as data, newest first, with outputs; shows the user nothing (show_creations does). Pass `next_cursor` back as `cursor` for the next page.

list_jobs

List the user's projects, newest first; pass `next_cursor` back as `cursor`. Shows nothing; show_projects opens the gallery.

list_projects

Search Pika apps and the user's recent creations for the composer's @-mentions.

search_mentions

Generate music, a song with lyrics, or a sound effect from a description, or score a video clip to picture (model pika/pika-audio/pika-soundtrack).

create_audio

Show the user the form of one of Pika's curated presets, prefilled from `inputs` (e.g. the user's photo url), for them to complete and run.

show_preset

The app gallery for the apps view: the apps matching the query (all without one), best match first.

browse_apps

Show the user the Pika app gallery to pick an app from. Read their pick with get_panel.

show_apps

Use this when the user wants to choose or change how Pika asks before running. Shows their approval mode for them to pick; open no other Pika view in the same turn, since it would replace this one.

show_settings

Render one segment of a video podcast episode with Seedance 2.5 and native audio, from the dialogue you planned for it, with host and guest photos as identity references (text-to-video without photos). Run it once per segment, same continuity_id, segment_index 0, 1, …; assemble the segments in order on v1 of a project.

podcast_creator

Make a product ad from product photos and a screenplay you write: the whole ad, up to 30 s, renders as one Seedance 2.5 take with native music, voiceover and talking characters, and needs no assembly.

product_ad

Read one of Pika's curated presets as data, with its slots and guide; shows the user nothing.

get_preset

Read a project as data: its timeline as numbered clips, and the items not yet placed. Shows nothing; show_projects with project_id opens its timeline.

get_project

Read where the user last was in the Pika view opened from one tool result, and the card's started run and drafts. Free.

get_view_place

Read what the user uploaded or picked in a Pika card you opened (by its panel_id), once they say they did; `status` is waiting until then.

get_panel

Remove clips from the timeline at `revision`; later v1 clips close the gap. Returns the new numbered timeline.

remove_clips

Rename a project.

rename_project

Save an uploaded file to the user's Pika library. Free.

save_upload

Save what the user uploaded or picked in a panel, so the panel restores it and get_panel reads it. Free. Pass the revision you last saw as expected_revision so an older copy's late save can't overwrite a newer pick; a stale one fails with REVISION_CONFLICT carrying the current `revision`.

save_panel

Replace the whole timeline at `expected_revision`, keeping each given clip_id. For the timeline view; the model uses add_clips, update_clip, remove_clips and update_timeline.

save_timeline

Save where the user is in the Pika view opened from one tool result, or the card's started run and drafts, so reopening it returns there. Free.

save_view_place

Show the user a gallery of their projects, most recently updated first. They can open one in Pika or pick one to work in; read their pick with get_panel. With project_id, open that project's timeline instead.

show_projects

Show the user Pika's curated presets for one app, or one of its collections (e.g. voices), to pick from. `inputs` prefill slots you already have, e.g. the user's photo url. Read their pick with get_panel.

show_presets

Speak a script aloud with the chosen text-to-speech model and voice, for a voiceover or the audio of a Talking Head Video.

create_speech

Create a project to collect clips for one video. Its timeline starts empty at 1080x1920@30.

create_project

Upload a file's bytes from the upload view and return its `media_url`. Free.

upload_media_bytes

Use this for a file the user attached in chat: pass it as `file`; Pika copies it and returns `media_url` for an app's input. Images, video and audio. Free.

upload_file

Use this for the user's image, video or audio file that you can't upload yourself with upload_file (if offered) or prepare_upload. Shows the user an upload card; read what they uploaded with get_panel. Not for an app run with show_presets or create_from_preset: its preset form collects the media. Pass each `media_url` as is in an app's input: the app reads the file, so don't open or download it. To use part of it ("the first guy"), say so in the app's prompt or brief. Free.

show_upload

Generate a video from a prompt, a start frame, or reference images, clips and audio. Model pika animates between image_url and end_image_url. seedance-25 reframes a clip in video_urls to the target aspect_ratio, recomposing it with the subjects and action as references (exact timing and on-screen text are not guaranteed); a prompt that extends a clip ('extend @video1 …') continues it at its own aspect ratio, with duration setting the length of the new footage. For several takes, pass prompts in one call.

create_video

Open the user's Pika library view: recent creations, newest first, or one (finished or running) given `job_id`, to preview, download or pick one to reuse; read the pick with get_panel. For data only, use list_jobs. Free.
