7. Open TaskAGI and go to Integrations
8. Click "Add Integration" and select "Kling V16 Pro"
9. Paste your API token into the authentication field
10. Configure rate limits if needed (recommended: start with 1 video per minute)
11. Test the connection and save the integration

How to obtain API keys/credentials: Visit https://api.kling.ai and sign up for a developer account. After email verification, navigate to your dashboard and select "API Credentials." Generate a new API token with video generation permissions. Note that Kling V16 Pro may require account verification and initial credit setup before API access is granted.

Configuration in TaskAGI: The Kling V16 Pro integration will power the Generate Video from Image node. The connection is automatic once configured, and you can adjust video generation parameters (resolution, duration, quality) directly in the node settings.

Configuration Steps

Node 1: How This Agent Works (Documentation Node)

This node serves as an internal reference and doesn't require configuration. It documents the workflow's purpose and structure for your team.

Node 2: Manual Trigger

Purpose: Initiates the workflow when you're ready to generate content.

Configuration:

• Trigger Type: Already set to "Manual"
• No parameters required — simply click the trigger button to start the workflow
• This node accepts no input data; it serves as the starting point

When to use: Click this trigger whenever you want to generate a new video. Each trigger execution will create one complete image-to-video sequence.

Node 3: Generate Image (Google Nano Banana)

Purpose: Creates a detailed static image based on your creative prompt.

Configuration parameters:

Best practices for prompts:

• Be specific and descriptive: Include lighting, mood, composition, and details
• Mention camera perspective: "Static camera shot," "wide angle," "close-up"
• Specify time of day: "morning," "golden hour," "night"
• Include environmental details: Weather, season, atmosphere, textures
• Avoid contradictions: Don't request conflicting styles or impossible physics

Example prompt:

Static camera shot: A dense, dark forest during a misty morning, 
with ancient trees and soft golden sunlight filtering through the 
canopy. Fog rolls gently across the forest floor. Photorealistic 
style, cinematic lighting, wide angle perspective.

Data flow: This node outputs the generated image (Node 6035) which flows directly to the next node.

Node 4: Generate Video from Image (Kling V16 Pro)

Purpose: Transforms the static image into an animated video with natural movement.

Configuration parameters:

Best practices for animation prompts:

• Describe natural movements: "Swaying," "drifting," "flowing," "rustling"
• Specify camera movement (if desired): "Slow pan left," "gentle zoom," "static"
• Include environmental effects: "Wind," "particles," "light changes"
• Set the mood: "Peaceful," "dramatic," "ethereal"
• Avoid jerky or unnatural motion: Kling works best with smooth, physics-based movement

Example animation prompt:

Animate this scene with gentle natural movement. Rustling leaves 
and swaying trees in a soft breeze. Mist drifting slowly across 
the forest floor. Dappled sunlight shifting subtly. Maintain a 
static camera perspective. Keep motion smooth and peaceful.

Data flow: This node receives the image from Node 3 and outputs the final video file (Node 6036).

Testing Your Agent

1. Open your workflow in TaskAGI
2. Verify all integrations are active (green status indicators in the Integrations panel)
3. Click the Manual Trigger button to start execution
4. Monitor the execution panel as the workflow progresses through each node

Step 2: Verify Each Node

At Node 3 (Image Generation):

• ✓ Check that the image generation begins (you'll see a "Processing" status)
• ✓ Wait for completion (typically 30-60 seconds)
• ✓ Verify the generated image appears in the node output preview
• ✓ Confirm the image matches your prompt description
• ✓ Look for correct resolution, lighting, and composition

At Node 4 (Video Generation):

• ✓ Confirm the image automatically feeds into this node
• ✓ Monitor video generation progress (typically 1-3 minutes)
• ✓ Check the output preview for smooth animation
• ✓ Verify motion matches your animation prompt
• ✓ Confirm video duration and frame rate are correct

Step 3: Expected Results and Success Indicators
