What is ArtBot?
ArtBot is a web app for creating images with Stable Diffusion and other open models. Instead of running on its own servers, it sends your requests to the AI Horde, an open source network of volunteer GPUs, which is why it can be free.
Beyond text to image, ArtBot supports image to image, inpainting, ControlNet and a Live Paint mode, plus a tool that describes an uploaded image. You can browse model details, favourite models, track pending jobs and keep your images in a gallery. Wait times depend on how busy the volunteer workers are, and adding a free AI Horde API key can improve your place in the queue.
