Hold State
The central hub for AI creative work.
Keep your creative projects together. Work in the AI and creative tools you already use, or generate directly in Hold State. Your files, prompts, iterations, decisions, Canon and Deliverables stay connected to the same project.
Save the work. Hold State retains the prompt, tool and timestamp.
Choose the folders Hold State watches. Save an image or video the way you normally do, and it comes back into the project with the prompt, source tool and timestamp attached.
Generate in Hold State or bring work in from anywhere.
Generate images and video inside the project through Higgsfield, or keep using the AI and creative tools you already prefer.
Either way, the work joins the same project.

Hold State stays at the center while the tools around it change.
The tools change. Your project stays.
Use different tools for different parts of the job. Hold State keeps the work and project history connected as you move between them.

Prompts live in chats. Files land in Downloads. References sit somewhere else. Versions multiply.
Hold State brings those pieces back into the project they belong to.

Claude can read the project through Hold State.
Two changes stuck. On the character sheet you took out every bit of hair under the beanie, so with it off he’s completely bald, and that’s locked in Canon. Then in the storyboard you made him thinner: the SH100 prompt asks for narrow shoulders and skinny arms and legs to match the sheet.
Everything else held from the first sheet to the last frame: head-to-toe black, the tight beanie, the gloves.
