Setting Up Generative AI Studio

Generative AI Studio talks directly to fal.ai, the cloud platform that hosts the AI models it uses. All you need to do once is create a fal.ai account, copy your API key, and paste it into RhinoArtisan.

Connect your fal.ai key

Create a fal.ai account, add credit, copy your API key (it looks like fal_sk_…) and paste it into Options → Artisan → Integrations, in the Generative AI (fal.ai) group’s API Key field. Then click OK and restart RhinoArtisan (or Rhino) before your first generation.

The whole process, with screenshots of every step, is in Accounts and API keys: it takes a couple of minutes and covers every AI tool at once.

Verify it works

Open the Studio: click Generative AI in the AI group of the File tab, or run ArtisanGenerativeAI.

If the key is missing or empty, the Studio shows a notice instead of the prompt bar: “Generative AI needs a fal.ai API key. Add it in Options > RhinoArtisan > Integrations.” Clicking it takes you straight to the fal.ai keys page. If you see the prompt bar and the mode chip at the bottom of the window, you’re connected — head over to the Studio tour and generate something.
