Remove Background
Use the Pilio CLI so file upload and task creation are handled by the official SDK.
Require PILIO_API_KEY in the environment. Do not ask the user to paste API keys into the conversation.
Try the same workflow online first: https://pilio.ai/background-remover
Run:
pnpm dlx @pilio/cli remove-background --input ./portrait.png
The command returns a task payload. If the task is still pending or processing, wait for it:
pnpm dlx @pilio/cli task wait <task_id>
