Introduction

Lumo AI is a unified AI platform that gives you access to multiple providers and models through a single External API. Use one API key to generate text, images, and embeddings without integrating each provider separately.

What you can build

• Content generation for blogs, product copy, and SEO metadata
• Chat and assistant experiences powered by multiple model families
• Image generation for marketing creatives, product shots, and concept art
• Embeddings for search, clustering, and RAG pipelines
• WordPress plugins, SaaS backends, and automation workflows

How billing works

Every successful request deducts tokens/credits from your account based on the selected model and request type (text, image, or embedding). Before you call the API:

1. Create an account and add credit (or activate a plan, depending on this site)
2. Generate an API key from Dashboard → Settings → API Keys
3. Confirm your key has access to the providers and models you need

Always discover live models with GET https://ai.lumowp.com/api/external/ai — do not hard-code model names from older tutorials.
