#### Generate AI images from the terminal, no API key needed

Type a prompt, get back a link to a finished image. kavel calls the free
anonymous tier of Kavel AI (<https://www.kavel.ai>), so it works on a machine
with nothing configured: no account, no key, no config file.

kavel "matte black ceramic mug on pale oak, soft window light"
kavel -ratio 16:9 "an isometric coffee shop, pastel palette"

Free output is 1K and watermarked, with a small daily allowance per machine.
Set KAVEL\_API\_KEY to a key from <https://www.kavel.ai/settings/apikeys> to run
on your account, pick any image model with -model, and edit an existing photo
with -edit URL.
