description	Use when building a Lovable app that needs production image, text, audio, video, or embedding inference through Pollinations.

Build with Pollinations

Pollinations is an open-source API platform for adding AI capabilities to apps. Consult https://gen.pollinations.ai/docs for the current API contract and live model endpoints instead of copying a static model list.

First integration

1. Ask the builder which modality they need and whether the request must remain server-side.
2. Store any secret Pollinations key only in Lovable's approved server-side secret environment. Never expose an sk_ key in client code, a prompt, a public GitHub repo, or browser logs.
3. Add one focused server-side action or edge function per capability, validate user input, and return safe errors.
4. Start with one narrow feature, then add optional controls after the basic flow works.

Endpoints

• Image generation: GET https://gen.pollinations.ai/image/{prompt}
• OpenAI-compatible text: POST https://gen.pollinations.ai/v1/chat/completions
• Text model discovery: GET https://gen.pollinations.ai/v1/models

Product guidance

• Do not present a fixed model list or pricing table. Both change; link to the live docs.
• Keep the first user experience simple: prompt, generate, loading state, error state, and result.
• Do not make payment, balance, or account claims unless the app has an explicitly reviewed Pollinations integration.
