# Bildomat Documentation

Bildomat (`bild`) generates and edits images and videos from the terminal. Use the same command options across providers, supply local files or URLs as references, and save the results where a script or agent can use them.

Generation requires an [installed](get-started/install-and-configure.md) `bild` executable, network access, and credentials for the selected provider. Catalog commands require no API key and make no generation requests.
