What Stable Assistant is
Stable Assistant was a web-based AI chatbot for creating and editing media through conversation. Its listed capabilities included text-to-image generation, reference-image input, image editing, video, 3D model, music, sound-effect, and soundscape creation. Image generation used Stable Image Ultra, based on Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large. Image tools included same-structure generation, outpainting, enhancement, upscaling, sketch-to-image, and background removal. Experimental video features covered image-to-video and text-to-video generation. Stable Audio was described as producing instrumental tracks up to three minutes long at 44.1 kHz stereo. Stable LM 2 12B powered chat, writing, and image-caption features. The FAQ gave examples of 6.5 credits for a successful image generation and 0.1 credit per message. Stability AI said inputs and outputs could be used to improve models, with an opt-out. Personal data could be processed on US servers. The service was paid, offered a three-day trial, and was scheduled to sunset on October 1, 2026.
