Mage.Space
Hosted image generation with multiple models, controls, and private creation
Do not mistake the interface for the product. Mage.Space's durable value is proprietary model, inference, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.
Build verification: not recorded. How we judge buildability
What you give up
- safety, moderation, and mobile distribution
- high-fidelity color, format, and export handling
- the vendor's proprietary model quality
- licensed training data and style tuning
- fast elastic inference
Why people still pay
Mage.Space: The interface is replaceable. The subscription buys the model, aesthetic tuning, inference fleet, safety work, and rapid improvement.
Your build guide
The stack, security requirements, and agent rules for a focused replacement.
Before you start
- GPU-capable machine or user-provided inference API
- Python 3.12
- model weights obtained under their own licence
- Explicit README warning that this is a consolation build, not a production replacement
Use these project rules and optional skill references alongside the prompt. Review each skill before adding it to your agent; the AGENTS.md export includes the same guidance.
Project rule, data: Model prompts, model settings, generation jobs, source assets, and exported images; keep stable source IDs and timestamps.
Project rule, behavior: For AI image generation, accept a prompt, selected model, seed, and output dimensions; validate the model path or declared provider credential.
Project rule, recovery: A failed or cancelled model job retains its prompt and source assets; an exported image must reopen at the recorded dimensions.
Implementation plan
Phase 1, architecture and data
Use exactly this stack: Python 3.12 + FastAPI + ComfyUI API + React. Model prompts, model settings, generation jobs, source assets, and exported images; keep stable source IDs and timestamps.
Phase 2, implement
For AI image generation, accept a prompt, selected model, seed, and output dimensions; validate the model path or declared provider credential.
Phase 3, implement
Run one generation job and persist model parameters, status, and the produced file path.
Phase 4, review and output
Preview the image, allow a prompt revision, and export the image with a JSON sidecar recording generation settings.
Phase 5, recovery and acceptance
Verify this invariant with a saved fixture: A failed or cancelled model job retains its prompt and source assets; an exported image must reopen at the recorded dimensions. State the practical limit: safety, moderation, and mobile distribution.
Build me a focused AI image generation workflow for the personal core of Mage.Space. Requirements: - Use exactly this stack: Python 3.12 + FastAPI + ComfyUI API + React. Model prompts, model settings, generation jobs, source assets, and exported images; keep stable source IDs and timestamps. - Paid product context: Hosted image generation with multiple models, controls, and private creation. Build only this DIY scope: Build the closest honest personal AI image generation console around a locally available image model, with prompt history and file export. - For AI image generation, accept a prompt, selected model, seed, and output dimensions; validate the model path or declared provider credential. - Run one generation job and persist model parameters, status, and the produced file path. - Preview the image, allow a prompt revision, and export the image with a JSON sidecar recording generation settings. - Use a local web page with input, progress, review, and export views. Required input or access: GPU-capable machine or user-provided inference API; model weights obtained under their own licence. - Acceptance: with one labelled sample, show the input, saved intermediate state, and exported result; verify this invariant: A failed or cancelled model job retains its prompt and source assets; an exported image must reopen at the recorded dimensions. - Out of scope: safety, moderation, and mobile distribution; high-fidelity color, format, and export handling. Keep this a personal, inspectable workflow. - Include a README with setup, a sample input, required keys or permissions, data location, and the supported scope.

free tier300 one-time Gems at sign-up; free base generation is available, but no numeric recurring rate cap is published
billingmonthly only, no annual plan shown
hidden costsPremium models and some video features consume Gems; Gems expire after 90 days; additional Gems may therefore be required despite 'unlimited' included-model generations.

Questions about Mage.Space
Can you build your own Mage.Space with AI?
A full replacement is not the recommended project. Do not mistake the interface for the product. Mage.Space's durable value is proprietary model, inference, which a solo one-shot build cannot reproduce responsibly. The prompt therefore builds only the closest honest personal consolation tool.
What does the Mage.Space build prompt cover?
The prompt starts with this scope: Build the closest honest personal AI image generation console around a locally available image model, with prompt history and file export. Full-product capabilities excluded from the comparison include: safety, moderation, and mobile distribution; high-fidelity color, format, and export handling; the vendor's proprietary model quality. Follow the implementation plan and its prerequisites before expanding the build.
How do I use the prompt, AGENTS.md and agent skills?
Start with the Mage.Space prerequisites and stack, then copy the prompt into your coding agent. Save the project rules as AGENTS.md in the project root. Linked skills are optional packages or source instructions for specific tasks; review their current contents and install only those matching the chosen stack. A skill does not supply API credentials or verify the finished app.
How long will this Mage.Space project take?
The catalogue estimate is not a true replacement; consolation build in one to two days for the limited scope. Setup, integration approvals, debugging, deployment and ongoing maintenance can add time. This is an estimate, not a delivery guarantee.
What would I give up by replacing Mage.Space?
safety, moderation, and mobile distribution; high-fidelity color, format, and export handling; the vendor's proprietary model quality; licensed training data and style tuning; fast elastic inference. Mage.Space: The interface is replaceable. The subscription buys the model, aesthetic tuning, inference fleet, safety work, and rapid improvement.
What can I use instead of building Mage.Space?
ComfyUI: The broadest local model support in the least browser-service-shaped interface imaginable. InvokeAI: Multiple local models, strong controls and an organized gallery; private means actually staying on your machine. Krita AI Diffusion: Krita with a local diffusion engine: layers, masks, generated pixels and no gallery watching you.
