## 🚀 Recommended Next Steps

### **Priority 1: Documentation Updates** (1-2 days)

**Tasks**:
1. Mark Transform Studio and Control Studio as "Live" in all docs
2. Update Asset Library feature list to match implementation
3. Clarify WaveSpeed module boundaries (Text-to-Video in Video Studio, Voice Clone in Persona/Video Studio)
4. Remove Image-to-3D if not planned, or document as future feature

**Files**: `docs-site/docs/features/image-studio/overview.md`, `modules.md`, `frontend/src/components/ImageStudio/dashboard/modules.tsx`

---

### **Priority 2: Asset Library Enhancements** (1-2 weeks)

**Options**: 
- **A**: Implement missing features (Collections, AI tagging, Version history, Shareable boards)
- **B**: Update docs to reflect current capabilities (1 day)

**Recommendation**: Start with Option B, prioritize based on user feedback.

---

### **Priority 3: Transform Studio - Image-to-3D** (1-2 weeks)

**Decision Required**: 
- Is Image-to-3D needed?
- If yes, implement Stable Fast 3D integration
- If no, remove from documentation

**Recommendation**: Defer unless there's clear user demand.

---

### **Priority 4: Batch Processor** (3-4 weeks)

**Phases**:
1. **Infrastructure** (1-2 weeks): Task queue, job models, scheduler, notifications
2. **Backend** (1 week): BatchProcessorService, CSV parser, queue management, progress tracking
3. **Frontend** (1 week): BatchProcessor component, CSV upload, queue visualization, scheduling UI

**Recommendation**: Start after Priority 1 and 2 are complete.
