Question 1

How does the built-in credit system work?

Accepted Answer

Every account receives a free credit allowance that renews each month on your signup date — the same day-of-month you joined. Credits are consumed atomically only when a hosted cloud model executes successfully. If a model fails or returns an error, the credits are immediately refunded. You can view your real-time balance in your project toolbar.

Question 2

Can I bring my own API keys?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Under your Account Settings, you can configure your own Google AI (Gemini/Imagen/Veo) or xAI (Grok) API keys. When you do, we route executions directly through your credentials. In this case, no credits are deducted from your balance, allowing you to pay raw API costs directly to the providers.

Question 3

Are my API keys stored securely?

Accepted Answer

Yes, security is a core pillar of genvi. Your API keys are encrypted with authenticated AES-256-GCM and used only to execute the requests you run against the AI providers you choose. They are never sold and never logged in plaintext, and they are removed when you revoke them or delete your account.

Question 4

What is Chat Studio, and when should I use it instead of a workflow?

Accepted Answer

Chat Studio is the no-nodes way to create. You describe what you want in plain words and get an image, video, music bed, voice-over, copy or 3D asset back, then keep replying to refine it. It reaches the same model catalog and the same credit system as every other studio, and saves everything to your File Repository automatically. Use chat when you want one asset and expect to iterate conversationally. Use a Node Workflow when you need the same pipeline run repeatedly, or several models chained in one pass.

Question 5

How do I keep the same character or product consistent across generations?

Accepted Answer

Save it once to your Reference Library. A reference is a name, a description written for a model to read, and up to twelve pictures. Type @ followed by its handle in any prompt box, whether that is Chat Studio, Node Studio, the whiteboard, either composer, 3D Studio or Genvi Agent, and the same description and the same reference images reach the model every time. Your wording is passed through verbatim rather than paraphrased, because a rewrite of the detail you care about is exactly what drifts between shots. Group several references into a set and one mention brings all of them, and when a generation comes out right you can save it straight back to the library from wherever it appeared.

Question 6

What is the difference between Workflows and the Whiteboard Canvas?

Accepted Answer

Workflows are structured node-based pipelines representing DAG execution trees (topological routing of AI generations from inputs to outputs). The Whiteboard Canvas is an infinite, unstructured sandbox where you can freely draft flowcharts, mind maps, sticky notes, Kanban boards, and freehand pen drawings. It also features a natural-language AI chat assistant to generate diagrams instantly.

Question 7

Who owns the commercial rights to generated media?

Accepted Answer

You own 100% of all generated and compiled assets. All images, layouts, sequences, character sheets, sprite grids, and exported videos are fully yours to use commercially without any licensing fees, royalties, or attribution required.

Question 8

How does the Video Composer render browser-side?

Accepted Answer

The Video Composer uses WebAssembly-based FFmpeg (FFmpeg WASM) directly inside your browser. This enables offline-capable, high-performance rendering that operates entirely locally on your device without transmitting your heavy video clips to any server, saving you render fees and maintaining absolute file privacy.
