Description
Hey HN,We built Lucent Chat because creating with AI has become a mess. You'd ask ChatGPT for a prompt, copy it into another tool, tweak settings, open three tabs, run into token limits, and lose your style halfway through. Iteration was slow, context vanished, and the process killed the creative flow.Lucent Chat is our attempt to fix that - a single chat where you can generate, refine, and manage all your visuals and videos across Veo, Sora, Kling, Seedream, Nano Banana, and more. You describe what you want and Lucent handles the rest. It will find the right model, optimise your prompt + parameters behind the scenes.Once you do generate something, it's dead simple to keep on going and iterate off it with remixing. You can also get inspiration from what others are creating.We started this out of frustration with how fragmented creative AI had become, and now we're releasing it to the world.We're giving out free credits (40 images or 4 videos with Sora 2) to early adopters from HN!You can try it here: https://lucentchat.com?utm_source=hnFeedback is hugely appreciated.

Concerns raised: Unclear billing model - whether users need individual API keys or if billing is centralized

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a content generation tool for Government yet.
