_Chat with Qwen, generate images & videos, understand images, call agents,_
_manage memory, search the web — all from your terminal._

_Built for AI Agents. Every command works as a structured tool call._

</div>

## Features

Equip your AI Agent out-of-the-box with these capabilities, composable across complex tasks:

- **Text chat** — Qwen3.7-max: major gains in agentic coding, frontend coding, and vibe coding
- **Multimodal (Omni)** — Full omni-modal support across text + image + audio + video
- **Image generation & editing** — Qwen-Image 2.0: pro text rendering, photorealism, strong semantic adherence, multi-image composition
- **Video generation & editing** — HappyHorse-1.0 series: text-/image-/reference-to-video and natural-language video editing (up to 9-image reference)
- **Speech synthesis & recognition** — CosyVoice streaming TTS, voice cloning from 5–20s samples; FunAudio-ASR covers 30 languages including 7 Chinese dialects and 20+ Mandarin accents
- **Image & video understanding** — Qwen-VL: long-form video analysis, chart/document parsing, visual reasoning, multilingual OCR
- **Knowledge base & memory** — Multimodal RAG retrieval and cross-session memory for personalized, coherent dialogue
- **App calls** — Invoke agents and workflows already published on Aliyun Model Studio
- **Web search** — Real-time internet retrieval for up-to-date, accurate answers
- **Console capabilities** — Browse Bailian apps (`app list`) and check free-tier quota (`usage free`)
- **Local file auto-upload** — Every URL parameter accepts a local path; uploaded to free temp storage with 48-hour validity

## Showcase: One-Sentence Cinematic Video

A complete **2-minute, 16:9 cinematic short film** — produced end-to-end from a single natural-language sentence, with **zero manual editing**. This showcase demonstrates how an AI Agent can compose a multi-step creative pipeline by orchestrating three primitives:

- **[Qwen Code](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code)** — the agentic coding model that interprets the user's intent and drives the workflow
- **[Aliyun Model Studio CLI](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cli?source_channel=cli_github&)** — invokes **HappyHorse 1.0**, Aliyun Model Studio's text-/image-/reference-to-video generation model
- **[spark-video Skill](https://github.com/JohnKeating1997/spark-video)** — handles scene decomposition, storyboarding, shot continuity, and final stitching

### The single prompt

> *"Generate a roughly 2-minute video in Japanese cinematic style — a sweet, innocent first-love story about a high-school girl. The plot should be heart-fluttering enough to make viewers want to fall in love. Aspect ratio: 16:9."*
>
> *(Original: "帮我生成一段日系影视风格，高中女生的青涩初恋故事，剧情高甜，让人看了想谈恋爱，2分钟左右的视频，尺寸是16:9")*

### How it works

1. **Qwen Code** parses the request, plans the narrative beats, and decides which tools to call.
2. The **spark-video Skill** breaks the story into shots, writes per-shot prompts, and enforces visual continuity (characters, lighting, palette, lens language).
3. **`bl video generate`** dispatches each shot to **HappyHorse 1.0** in parallel.
4. The skill stitches all clips back together into a single 16:9 / ~2-min deliverable.

No timeline scrubbing. No frame-by-frame editing. Just one sentence → one video.


## Installation

```bash
npm install -g bailian-cli
npx skills add modelstudioai/skills --all -g
```

> Requires Node.js >= 22.12.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Authenticate
bl auth login --api-key sk-xxxxx

# Chat with Qwen
bl text chat --message "What is DashScope?"

# Multimodal chat (text + image + audio + video)
bl omni --message "Describe this image" --image ./photo.jpg

# Generate an image
bl image generate --prompt "A cat in a spacesuit" --out-dir ./images/

# Generate a video from local image
bl video generate --image ./cat.png --prompt "Make the cat move" --download cat.mp4

# Browser login (required for console capability commands)
bl auth login --console

# Browse apps / free-tier quota
bl app list
bl usage free --model qwen3-max
```

> More examples and scenarios: [Aliyun Model Studio CLI Site](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cli?source_channel=cli_github&)

## Authentication

### DashScope API Key

Required for most commands. Get your key from the [DashScope Console](https://bailian.console.aliyun.com/cli?source_channel=key_github&).

```bash
# Option 1: Environment variable
export DASHSCOPE_API_KEY=sk-xxxxx

# Option 2: Login command (persisted to ~/.bailian/config.json)
bl auth login --api-key sk-xxxxx

# Option 3: Per-command flag
bl text chat --api-key sk-xxxxx --message "Hello"
```

### Console Login (OAuth)

Required for console capability commands (`app list`, `usage free`). Opens the Bailian console in your browser to sign in.

```bash
bl auth login --console
```

### Alibaba Cloud AK/SK (Knowledge Base only)

Required for `knowledge retrieve`. Get your AccessKey from [RAM Console](https://ram.console.aliyun.com/manage/ak).

> Recommended: create a RAM sub-account with minimum privileges instead of using the root account's AK/SK.

```bash
export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID=LTAI5t...
export ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET=...
export BAILIAN_WORKSPACE_ID=ws-...
```

## Configuration

```bash
# View current config
bl config show

# Set defaults
bl config set --key region --value us
bl config set --key default_text_model --value qwen-turbo
bl config set --key timeout --value 600

# Self-update to latest version
bl update
```

Config file location: `~/.bailian/config.json`
