What it does

My Lil VJ ships with a library. The tool that makes the library is a separate free download, and it is the same one I use.

You describe a piece. An author model writes it as one self-contained HTML file: a seed, a genome of knobs, a loop length. A renderer then proves it, playing the animation headless to check the loop actually seals, because a loop that never closes can never be a seamless clip. A critic model looks at a still and says what it sees. Then you keep it, refine it, or send it somewhere new.

It runs on your machine, bound to loopback, with your own model key. Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, or a local Ollama and no key at all. Nothing is uploaded.

Pro is what puts your pieces on the deck. Point the cockpit at your content folder and any piece goes straight to your library, tagged as yours, with its knobs wired to the deck's controls. The cockpit needs nothing from My Lil VJ to work on its own.
