The AI persona of Nephele Workshop. She is the operator of the Workshop and helps you complete tasks through conversation.

A desktop workstation for artists built with PySide6 + QML, offering AI chat, browser automation, and batch Pipeline processing.

The Agent is Nephele's core capability. Unlike ordinary chatbots, the Agent actually operates your computer: opening browsers to search images, organizing Eagle assets, batch-packing works, and running Python scripts. It understands intent via the Skill system and invokes 60+ tools through the ToolRegistry. Tools load on demand — each turn only sends the model the tools relevant to your request and fetches the rest dynamically when needed, saving a large amount of context.

The local zero-latency intent parser. Clear commands like 'open Photoshop' or 'open the Downloads folder' skip the AI entirely — the Rule Engine executes them directly, near-instantly, at no cost.

Cloud MAX is Nephele's full form, powered by the Axioma Breeze model with a 1M-token context window. It runs a ReAct loop (reason → call tool → observe → reason again), executing up to 20 tool calls per message. When you type in the main input box, the request first passes the Rule Engine and the free Guide gate; only requests that genuinely need work done reach Cloud MAX, billed in Nepheline.

The Guide channel has two faces: (1) the toolbar '?' popover — a deterministic chip flow (purely local, no LLM, copy sourced from flows.yaml) plus free-form input (streamed answers aware of which screen you're on) that can 'escalate' to Cloud MAX carrying your exact words when it can't answer or you want to go deeper; and (2) the main-input gate — when you type on the home screen, the lightweight model takes a first look and answers usage / navigation / one-line facts / a single clarification turn for free, passing everything else through. It's biased toward passing through and fails open — it will never block your input. It never generates UI operations, only returns structured whitelisted actions.

Nephele's cloud AI inference service. The full Agent runs on Axioma Breeze (1M-token context); the Guide channel and other lightweight calls run on the faster Axioma Zephyr.

Skills are Nephele's secret weapon. The same prompt to different AIs yields wildly different results. Nephele's edge isn't a smarter model — it's Skills. A Skill is a plain text file describing in natural language 'when the user says X, here's what you should do'. It's not a plugin, needs no installation, and requires no code. Skills load from three sources: cloud push, user custom, and built-in.

Atomic function units the Agent can invoke, such as eagle_search, pack_image, evaluate_image — 60+ in total, loaded dynamically on demand.

Nephele's tool registry singleton managing all Agent-available tools, supporting dynamic registration and remote disabling.

The Agent's core working pattern (Reasoning + Acting): reason, call a tool, observe the result, reason about the next step, and repeat until done. Up to 20 tool calls per message.

Automated processing pipeline that chains multiple tools in sequence, e.g. 'tag → evaluate → pack → certify' in one click.

Fatigue points — the test-period daily free quota, refreshing every day at midnight (Beijing time) for trying cloud features. The system always deducts stamina first, touching Nepheline only once it runs out.

Nepheline is Nephele's only paid currency, used for all cloud AI inference (Cloud MAX, AI evaluation, StyleDNA, etc.). An annual subscription bundles 50,000 Nepheline tied to the subscription term — frozen on expiry, restored on renewal; separately purchased Nepheline never expires and has no cap. Deduction order is fixed: daily stamina → bundled annual Nepheline → purchased balance. Running out only pauses cloud AI; local features are unaffected. Light questions absorbed by the Guide channel are never billed.

StyleDNA scores your art via a cloud vision model across 5 bipolar dimensions (line/palette, realistic/stylized, minimal/maximal, vivid/unsaturated, narrative/atmospheric), encoded into a 5-letter code mapped to one of 32 style types — a personalized artist identity card.

Dynamically adjusts evaluation dimensions by artwork type, giving a ten-tier S→E grade (S / S- / A+ / A / B+ / B / C+ / C / D / E) and improvement suggestions across composition, color, technique, and more.

One-click export of watermarked high-res PNGs. Supports full-image watermarking and blind watermark steganography. PSD files can be processed directly.

Auto-generates platform-adapted copy and tags for multiple social platforms. It does not upload — it only writes the copy.

256-bit steganographic protection embedding copyright info into image pixels. Invisible to the eye but extractable for verification.

Digital Certification gives a work an independently verifiable 'birth certificate'. It hashes the file, requests an RFC 3161-compliant trusted timestamp from a third-party Time Stamping Authority (TSA), and generates a QR-coded PDF forensic report. In batch certification all files are chain-linked in a Merkle tree, so tampering with any one breaks the whole tree. Verification relies only on the public timestamp protocol and CA certificates, not Nephele's servers — even if Nephele shuts down, the evidence you've issued remains verifiable by courts and third parties.

On detecting infringement: auto-screenshots the full webpage, saves source code, extracts images, captures TLS certs — all timestamped into a tamper-proof evidence package.

The self-contained evidence file produced by Evidence Capture, bundling page screenshots, HTML source, the TLS certificate chain, and network logs — all timestamped. Independently verifiable at verify.arisfusion.com without relying on Nephele's servers.

Upload an image to search its source across engines in parallel: SauceNAO, IqDB, Google Cloud Vision, and Baidu Image Search, plus local Eagle-library matching and exact Booru MD5/hash lookup.

Finds visually similar images within your local Eagle library. Uses the EVA02 tagger embeddings (1024-dim, produced for free during tagging) for cosine similarity, blended with tag-overlap ranking — fully local, no network.

Compresses image content into a fingerprint robust to resizing, compression, and minor edits (pHash / dHash / aHash), computed locally via the open-source imagehash library. Nephele uses it for similarity matching and tracing stolen images.

Get reference images via Agent chat or manual search across Pixiv, Konachan, Pinterest, Huaban, ArtStation, Wikimedia Commons, and your local Eagle library (Eagle-only by default; network sources are opt-in).

Eagle is an asset management app commonly used by artists and designers. Think of it as an enhanced folder specifically for collecting and finding images. Nephele's relationship with Eagle is filesystem-level compatibility, not a runtime dependency: Nephele reads and writes Eagle's .library/ filesystem and metadata.json directly, regardless of whether Eagle itself is running.

Nephele's built-in file browser docked at the bottom of the window, unifying local files and Eagle asset browsing.

Library indexing runs models locally via ONNX Runtime in a single pass: by default the PixAI Tagger v0.9 (EVA02 architecture, ~1.2GB, character vocabulary through 2025-01) recognizes image content and applies tags, harvesting a 1024-dim image embedding for find-similar in the same pass (falling back to the older WD SwinV2 v3 if PixAI isn't installed); semantic search uses gte-multilingual-base to encode tags and your query into one semantic space, enabling cross-language searches like 'blue-toned girl' in Chinese. When tagging, English tags are replaced with their Chinese display names and written directly onto the Eagle element (English is kept only where no translation exists). Everything runs locally — no network, no billing, no Nepheline cost.

Cross-language search over your library. gte-multilingual-base (768-dim) encodes tags and your query into one semantic space, so a Chinese query like 'cyberpunk rainy night' still matches images tagged in English Danbooru tags. It searches tag text, then filters to tags that actually exist in your library.

The default image content-tagging model pixai-tagger-v0.9 (EVA02 architecture, ~1.2GB, character vocabulary through 2025-01), running locally on ONNX Runtime and harvesting a 1024-dim image embedding for find-similar in the same tagging pass. Falls back to the older WD SwinV2 v3 (SmilingWolf, ~467MB, vocabulary cutoff 2024-02) when PixAI isn't installed.

OpenAI's Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training model (ViT-B/32, 512-dim). Nephele uses it for zero-shot style classification and text-to-image search (find pictures in your local library that match an English description). Image-to-image similarity moved to EVA02 tagger embeddings in 2026-06 and no longer uses CLIP.

Microsoft's open-source ML inference engine. Nephele runs the PixAI Tagger, CLIP, the gte semantic model and others locally through it, no cloud required — preferring DirectML/CUDA acceleration and falling back to CPU without a GPU.

A topmost borderless window where you pin reference images and freely arrange, zoom, and rotate them. Lock mode makes it mouse-transparent so it doesn't block your canvas. Supports composition overlays, arrow annotations, and .pur file interop.

Double-press Ctrl or a mouse side button to summon a dual-ring radial menu arranged by artist workflow for instant access to any feature.

A full-screen eyedropper: press a hotkey (default Ctrl+Shift+I), click anywhere on screen, and the color is copied to the clipboard and written straight into 优动漫 / CLIP Studio Paint's foreground color. Windows-only.

Interactive visual works extension. You lead creation; the Agent translates ideas into story.json, rendered in real time by Godot.

Mobile extension. Browse your Eagle library remotely, subscribe to artist updates, and chat with the assistant. Two modes: cloud-direct (works anywhere — Q&A / search / references) and MAX mode (requires your desktop online, remotely driving the desktop's full Cloud MAX with local-library access and tools).

Chrome/Edge browser extension handling the last mile of publishing delivery and creator data-warehouse collection. Your login sessions stay in your own browser.

Aggregates your publish records, views, saves, and engagement across social platforms into a local data warehouse, paired with an Eagle-library portrait — so you no longer depend on each platform's scattered backend.

Scans image EXIF, IPTC, and generation-parameter fingerprints to detect signatures from Midjourney, ComfyUI, NovelAI, and more.

An open standard (Content Credentials) recording an image's provenance and edit history. AI Credential Check reads an image's C2PA manifest to tell whether it was AI-generated or processed by specific tools.

The internet timestamp protocol international standard. Nephele's digital certifications are backed by authorities like DigiCert.

The third-party authority that issues trusted timestamps. Nephele's certification sends only the file's 256-bit hash to a TSA (e.g. FreeTSA, DigiCert, IdenTrust) — your original never leaves your computer, and verification doesn't depend on Nephele's servers.

Cryptographic hash tree structure. In batch certification all files are chain-linked; tampering with any one breaks the entire tree.

Binary diff patch algorithm. Nephele's self-updater uses it to download only changed parts, drastically reducing update size.

UI automation & onboarding framework with real mouse/keyboard + QML tree observation + video recording. One script reused for testing, tutorials, and marketing.

Remote emergency shutdown. The server can issue commands to stop specific client versions from running, for security or compliance.
