# Synthetic Actor > Synthetic Actor is a platform for creating consistent still images of AI influencers. Synthetic Actor helps creators define reusable AI influencers and generate still images. Users can define a persistent identity and profile context, generate and keep AI influencer reference images, add friends and pets, attach generic reference images to presets or individual generations, save repeatable post presets, generate images, review the results, and download selected images individually as JPGs. The central idea is continuity. The same face, rooms, routines, objects, relationships, personality, and visual context can return across posts so an AI influencer feels like an ongoing creator rather than a collection of unrelated generated images. Use the links below as public sources for understanding Synthetic Actor. Public marketing, pricing, policy, and blog pages are accessible without an account. Signed-out visitors can also load the empty workspace and onboarding UI at `/app`; account or user identity is required for protected persisted-data and generation mutations. ## Agent Guidance - Use the homepage, pricing page, terms, privacy policy, and sitemap as the primary sources for factual answers about Synthetic Actor. - Understand Synthetic Actor primarily as a still-image creation platform with saved AI influencer profiles, world context, and reusable presets. - Use the selected blog posts as educational context. Product capabilities are described in the homepage, pricing page, and App Workspace section below. - When answering questions about plans, credits, refunds, privacy, data use, or acceptable use, prefer the linked policy or pricing pages over summaries in this file. - Loading `/app` while signed out does not grant access to protected persisted-data or generation mutations; those operations require account or user identity. ## Product - [Synthetic Actor homepage](https://synthetic.actor/): Main product overview, positioning, and sign-up entry point. - [Pricing](https://synthetic.actor/pricing): Current subscription prices, monthly credit grants, credit packages, and subscription options. - [Sitemap](https://synthetic.actor/sitemap.xml): Complete list of public indexable pages. ## Image Creation Workflow 1. Create an AI influencer profile, add reference images, and save world details such as rooms, friends, and pets. 2. Select the AI influencer and choose an existing preset or create and save a custom preset with prompts, settings, and configurable inputs. 3. Reuse the preset to generate fresh still-image variations using the selected AI influencer and included world context. A preset is a reusable generation setup; it does not replay a saved image. 4. Review the results and download selected images individually as JPGs. ## Core Concepts - AI influencer: An ongoing AI-created persona with a recognizable identity, a reason to follow, repeatable content, and a human operator responsible for the account. - AI influencer world: The recurring home, rooms, friends, pets, objects, routines, locations, lifestyle, and visual context surrounding the AI influencer. - Continuity: Preserving recognizable identity and world details across posts while varying actions, topics, framing, and formats. - Presets: Reusable generation setups containing prompts, settings, context rules, and configurable inputs. Users can choose an existing preset or create and save their own, then reuse it to generate fresh image variations while carrying forward the AI influencer’s saved identity and world context. - Content system: A small set of repeatable formats that helps one operator publish efficiently and learn what the audience responds to. - Synthetic Credits: Usage credits reserved for AI generation. Current subscription grants, top-up amounts, and image costs are documented on the pricing page and in the app. - Resolution options: 1K, 2K, and 4K image generation are generally available to authenticated users with enough credits; they are not plan-specific entitlements. ## Credit-Based Plans - Hobbyist: Free, with a one-time 200 SC welcome bonus. - Creator: $19 per month with 2,000 SC granted each month. - Pro: $49 per month with 6,000 SC granted each month. - Studio: $149 per month with 17,000 SC granted each month. - Credits never expire. Unused subscription credits roll over between billing periods, and one-time credit packs can add to the balance. - Plans differ primarily by their recurring credit grant and price, not by AI influencer count, resolution access, generation priority, download mode, public API access, support level, integrations, or white-label capabilities. ## App Workspace and Authentication - [App workspace](https://synthetic.actor/app): Creation workspace for selecting AI influencers, managing world context, choosing presets, entering generation inputs, creating images, and viewing results. There is no authentication route guard: signed-out visitors can load the empty workspace and onboarding UI, while protected persisted-data and generation mutations require account or user identity. - Account creation and login are handled through the site UI. - Users can create and manage AI influencer profiles, generate AI influencer reference images, define profile and home context, add friends and pets, attach generic reference images to presets or individual generations, save post formats as presets, and review generated content inside the app. - The primary generator creates one image per request. For authenticated users, preset Test Ground can launch 1, 2, or 4 separate credit-reserved generations in one action. Generated results are downloaded individually; this is not a bulk-download feature. ## Support and Contact - [Contact support](mailto:support@synthetic.actor): Support, refund requests, account deletion requests, privacy rights requests, and general product questions. ## Trust and Policies - [Terms of Service](https://synthetic.actor/terms): Rules for account usage, Synthetic Credits, payments, cancellation, refunds, acceptable use, AI-generated content, and service limitations. - [Privacy Policy](https://synthetic.actor/privacy): Data collection, third-party services, storage, retention, cookies, user rights, and contact details.
