DeepAI × ZeroClick: AI image tools any agent can buy

Every agent pipeline eventually needs an image - a hero for a landing page, a thumbnail, a product shot with the background stripped out, an old photo brought back to life. DeepAI has been making AI image generation accessible to everyone since 2017, longer than almost anyone in the business. Today we're announcing a partnership that extends that accessibility to a new kind of customer: DeepAI's image tools are now live as an agent storefront - purchasable per image, over open payment rails, by any AI agent on the internet.

AI image generation for everyone, since 2017

DeepAI launched its text-to-image generator in late 2017, one of the first on the internet - years before AI images went mainstream. It has since grown into an all-in-one creative platform: an image generator, an instruction-driven photo editor, background removal, photo colorization, and upscaling with standard or creative enhancement, all available in the browser or as simple APIs. The through-line is radical accessibility: no waitlists, no sales calls, prices measured in cents. For a lot of people, DeepAI is where they made their first AI image.

Six DeepAI tools any agent can buy, priced per image with no subscription, live at deepai.pay.zeroclick.io

That philosophy turns out to be exactly what the agentic web needs. Agents don't sit through onboarding flows or negotiate contracts. They need what DeepAI has always offered people: show up, ask for an image, get it. The only missing piece was a way to pay.

What the partnership does

DeepAI's image tools are live today as an agent storefront at deepai.pay.zeroclick.io. Six services are listed: the image generator, the photo editor, background remover, image colorizer, super resolution, and creative upscale. An agent discovers the storefront, reads the machine-readable listing and live pricing manifest, pays per image over x402 or MPP, and gets its image back - no signup, no API key, no subscription. Even an agent that arrives without a wallet isn't turned away: the storefront's agent guide covers creating one for free, or handing the purchase off to a human.

ZeroClick handles the commerce around every request: agent identity, payment on open rails, per-image pricing, and transaction-level analytics on every sale, with revenue settling directly to DeepAI. Discovery comes built-in - ZeroClick registers the storefront across the major agent indexes, including Coinbase's agentic.market, x402scan, mppscan, and zero.xyz, so DeepAI's tools show up wherever agents search for them.

The one-cent image

An HD image from DeepAI's generator costs one cent. Genius quality is eight cents. Super Genius, at 2K resolution, is a quarter. Editing a photo runs the same tiers, and background removal, colorization, and super resolution are a cent per image.

Those numbers matter because of how agents actually work. An agent producing a hero image doesn't generate once and ship it; it drafts, compares, and iterates. On DeepAI, ten HD drafts cost a dime. The agent picks a winner, re-renders it at Genius or Super Genius quality, strips the background or upscales it, and delivers - a complete creative loop for well under a dollar, metered per image, with no subscription to amortize and no credit pack to pre-buy.

DeepAI's quality tiers turn that workflow into a dial an agent can reason about: explore at a cent, commit at a quarter. Per-image pricing on open rails is what makes the pattern viable, and DeepAI's prices make it practical at almost any scale.

Shared philosophy

DeepAI and ZeroClick are built on the same conviction: powerful tools should be easy to reach. DeepAI stripped the gatekeeping out of AI creation - anyone with a browser and a few cents can make something. ZeroClick strips the gatekeeping out of selling to AI agents - identity, payment, pricing, and receipts on open rails, with no integration project on the buyer's side. Put together, the image tools that made AI creation accessible to people are now just as accessible to agents. An agent with a task and a few cents can buy exactly the image it needs, the moment it needs it.

Get started

If your agent needs images - generated, edited, cleaned up, or upscaled - point it at deepai.pay.zeroclick.io. If you want to make something yourself, DeepAI is at deepai.org. And if you're ready to sell your own product to AI agents, that's exactly why we built ZeroClick - get a demo at zeroclick.ai, or read the docs at docs.zeroclick.ai.
