So Cherry — The AI Studio That Just Works

Version 1.0 — June 2026 · For creators, developers, product teams, and agencies

Abstract

So Cherry is a creative AI studio that unifies image, video, audio, and chat generation behind a single interface — with no API keys to manage, no model decisions to make, and no infrastructure to operate.

We handle every upstream AI connection so you don't have to. One login. One bill. One place where every creative AI modality works, every time.

The Problem

Using AI for creative work today means managing a mess:

Every model provider requires a separate account and API key
Image, video, and audio live on different platforms with different interfaces
Models go offline without warning; your workflow dies with them
Pricing is unpredictable — per-token, per-second, per-image, all different formulas
You need to be an AI expert just to know which model to use for which task

Creators shouldn't need to be infrastructure engineers. So Cherry removes that friction entirely.

What So Cherry Is

A full-stack creative AI studio with three access points:

The Studio (Web UI)

A browser-based workspace for image, video, audio, and chat generation. No install, no config. Log in and create.

The CLI

A command-line interface for scripting and batch generation. Same models, same routing, same account — just from your terminal.

The API

A single versioned HTTP API that unifies every modality behind one interface. Build products on top of So Cherry without managing any AI provider integrations yourself.

How It Works

One Connection Layer

Behind the studio is a routing layer that connects to dozens of upstream AI providers. Every request — whether image, video, audio, or chat — is routed to the best available model for that task.

If a provider is degraded or a model is down, we reroute automatically. The request completes. You never see the failure.

Pay-Per-Use Credits

No subscriptions for specific model tiers. You buy credits, spend them on whatever you need — images, video seconds, audio minutes, chat messages. One balance, one billing system.

Unused credits don't expire monthly. You pay for what you use, when you use it.

What You Don't Manage

No API keys — we maintain all provider connections
No model selection — we route to the best model for each job
No fallback logic — we handle provider outages transparently
No infrastructure — the studio, CLI, and API are fully managed
No per-provider billing — one bill, one receipt

Modalities

Modality	Capabilities
Image	Text-to-image, image-to-image, style transfer, inpainting, outpainting
Video	Text-to-video, image-to-video, duration and aspect ratio control
Chat	Conversational AI with multi-model routing
Audio	Text-to-speech, music generation, sound effects
VFX	Background removal, rotoscoping, compositing

Each modality is available through the studio UI, the CLI, and the API.

Reliability Model

Multi-provider routing — every request has a fallback path. If the primary provider is slow or down, the request is rerouted automatically within seconds.
Status transparency — every render produces a trace. You can see which model ran, how long it took, and what it cost.
No single-provider dependency — because we maintain connections across multiple upstream providers, no single outage blocks your work.

Pricing

Plan	Model
Pay-as-you-go	Buy credits, spend on any modality. No expiration on unused credits.
Monthly	Allotment of credits renewed monthly with rollover.
Team	Shared credit pool, usage caps per user, audit logs.
Enterprise	Custom rate limits, dedicated routing, SLA. Volume discounts at scale.

Credits are consumed per-job based on the model used and the complexity of the request. The studio shows estimated cost before you generate.

Security

Encryption in transit — all traffic is TLS-encrypted
No persistent storage of generated assets beyond your library
All upstream credentials are managed server-side
Audit trail on every API call and studio action

Comparison

Aspect	DIY Multi-Provider	Other AI Studios	So Cherry
Provider management	You handle each one	Single provider only	We handle all of them
Model fallback	You build it	None	Automatic rerouting
API keys	One per provider	None needed	None needed
Billing	Per-provider invoices	Single subscription	Single credit balance
Modalities	Fragmented	Limited	Image, video, audio, chat, VFX
Infrastructure	You operate	Managed	Fully managed
CLI	Depends on setup	Usually not	First-class CLI

Who It's For

Individual creators who want to make without managing infrastructure
Product teams that need to ship AI features without building provider integrations from scratch
Agencies producing client creative work at scale
Developers who want a single API for every modality

Getting Started

The studio is live at the URL provided with your account. No credit card required to start. Credits are available for purchase in the dashboard.

For the CLI:

npm install -g @socherry/cli
socherry login
socherry generate "a cinematic landscape" --video --duration 5

For the API, see the developer documentation in the studio dashboard.

Summary

So Cherry exists because using creative AI shouldn't require infrastructure expertise. We handle every upstream connection, every fallback, every billing relationship — so you can focus on making things.

One studio. Every modality. Just works.
