AI Agent vs CLI

There are two ways to have AI build with Rive:

The AI Agent is built into the Rive Editor and works in the file you have open.
The Rive CLI lets your own coding agent, such as Claude Code or Cursor, build Rive projects on disk.

	AI Agent	Rive CLI
Where you prompt	Inside the Rive Editor	Your own coding agent, such as Claude Code or Cursor
What it changes	The file open in the Editor	Project files on disk, including Rive Markup Language (.rml), which build to `.riv` and `.rev` files
Model and billing	Rive credits, or your workspace’s own API keys	Your coding agent’s plan
Best for	Quick help while you design, animate, and code in the Editor	Working from your code editor, version control, and CI, without opening the Editor
