Fuser is outstanding, I find myself telling everyone to try Fuser to see just how great it is. As a designer this tool has been genuinely exciting to use, it makes iteration fast, easy and useful. Fuser's interface makes it easy to find the right model, having everything on one canvas is incredible for iteration and experimentation. It feels like the next generation design tool. A strange thing to mention is the payment options, the offer of a one-time payment rather than a continued subscription is perfect and hugely appreciated when it comes to education and workshops. Fuser is a tool for creatives built by creatives and you feel that with everything, the UI is fantastic, clean and doesn't have a steep leaning curve when exploring the different models.

What needs improvement

I have no notes for improvements, Fuser has continued to improve since I first started using it. Maybe the only request I would have is to be able to see an overview of the models capabilities / what the models is good at directly in the model picker, you can click to see a full information of each and every model and this is perfect, but sometimes if you're not familiar with a model, I just want to know which models are better at what at a glance with a little more info... But being honest, Fuser is pretty much perfect, and this isn't even an issue, each model has clear tags for input and output etc. and clicking the link to view the full information on the model is still super helpful.

vs Alternatives

There are not many AI tools out there that feel aimed at creatives who want to push the boundaries of AI. Weavy is possibly the closest tool I know of that feels in the same ballpark. What brought me to Fuser originally was their social media content, I think it's important to note how they engaged with the creative community. Then what made me stick with Fuser is using the tool. I found that it was a case of jumping straight into it, the user experience is simple, clean, no clutter or scattered options and menus, and allows you to experiment quickly without having to search around for the correct model or node, there is a really intuitive feel to whole tool, if you want to work quickly you can, if you want to iterate easily, you can.

How smooth is the unified canvas for cross‑modal workflows?

Fuser runs so smoothly. I have never faced any throttling or performance issues, even on canvas' with large collections of nodes or running multiple models at the same time. The experience so far has been amazing, I can have multiple tasks running at the same time, it's clear what's generating and I can have so much control over the process. Overall an incredibly smooth experience.

How are costs managed when using my API keys?

The cost control is perfect, there are subscription options and one-time payment options, for me, the one-time payment is great for teaching and workshops, there is a nice breakdown of what to expect from the credits and overall the payment options feel like you really get so much for what you pay for. It's helpful, and clear.

What onboarding and documentation quality can I expect?

The onboarding is brilliant, there are templates and tutorials, there is documentation for each and every model so you can see detailed information, there are examples that you can explore before you get started that really help to showcase the potential of Fuser.
