Pollinations

Pollinations is an open infrastructure platform for AI-native builders. It provides access to a catalog of models, agents, tools and services that can be composed via a single API. Builders can host prompts and code agents, run sandboxes, publish apps and monetize their work, with hosting and billing managed by Pollinations. The product targets developers who want to build AI-powered agents, applications and workflows without managing disparate services.

Pollinations operates by offering hosted sandboxes, MCP servers, media storage, and a marketplace for models and agents. Users can call an agent like a model, or build their own, while Pollinations handles sign-in, billing and discovery for publishing and monetizing models and agents. It provides a command line interface and server-side options to integrate into user projects, apps and workflows.

Core capabilities include agent execution, sandboxed environments, model and app publishing, media storage, privacy and safety checks, and a unified billing model. Users earn pollen for publishing and earning from others, and can top up or pay as they go. The platform emphasizes attribution of spending to user accounts and supports a catalog of community and official models, agents, and tools.
