Pipeline Stages

Creative AI systems are usually pipelines, not single API calls.

  1. Ingest prompt, media, or project context.
  2. Validate inputs and policy constraints.
  3. Generate or transform assets.
  4. Store intermediate artifacts.
  5. Post-process outputs.
  6. Review, edit, or approve.
  7. Export final media.

Backend Concerns

  • job state machine
  • artifact storage
  • retry and cancellation
  • cost tracking
  • provider abstraction
  • preview generation
  • audit history
  • user-safe failure messages

Reliability Questions

  • Which steps are idempotent?
  • Which artifacts are temporary?
  • Which operations are too expensive to retry blindly?
  • What can be resumed after failure?
  • How does the user see progress?
