AI creative tools: images, voice, translation and mini-games

Larch puts AI right where you need it. No switching tools — use it on the screen you are already on.

What AI can do for you

  • Portraits, backgrounds and props: “Generate” in the Character studio and the media library. (Pro)
  • Expressions: paint new expressions from one portrait, background removed for you. (Pro)
  • Background removal: one click in the Character studio.
  • AI voice: “Speak with AI” and “AI clip” on dialogue cards.
  • Translation: Project settings → Languages → translate with AI; the board language menu can batch-translate too.
  • Script import: Manage boards → Paste TXT, and AI turns it into cards.
  • AI minigames: describe the gameplay and AI builds a playable mini-game card.
  • AI video: “Generate video” in the media library.
AI clip: each line is generated ahead of time, so players never wait

What does it cost?

AI uses Pinecoins. The Free plan gets 20 a month. Pro gets 60 a month — and on Pro, everything except video is free.

  • Image: 2–5 (8 in high quality)
  • Background removal: 2
  • Voice: 1 per 700 characters
  • Translation: 1 per 20 cards
  • Script import: 1 per 12,000 characters (minimum 2)
  • AI minigame: 4
  • AI video: 20 per 5 seconds (charged on Pro too)

If a generation fails, your Pinecoins come back.

AI inside your game

AI can also perform inside the game itself. See “AI story cards: AI dialogue and the AI director”.
