> Understanding Kive's creative workspace for AI-powered visual content

Kive is a creative workspace where you'll generate images and videos with AI, edit them with powerful post‑production tools, and organize everything in boards. You work inside a workspace — a shared place where your team's assets and settings live. Think of Kive as your studio and library in one — create, refine, and keep it all together.

Kive is **web-based** — no app download required. Access it via any modern browser on desktop or mobile.

## Key ideas

Workspaces are containers for boards, members, and settings. You can belong to multiple workspaces and switch using the **account and workspace menu** (click your avatar in the top-right).

Boards organize assets by project. Use sub‑boards for campaigns or product lines, and share them with teammates to collaborate.

Generations are outputs from the AI generator. Drafts are free; final images and videos use credits based on the quality you choose.

Studios are pre‑configured scenes that handle lighting and composition for you. Pick a studio when you want consistent looks without writing long prompts.

Models let you reuse a product, character, or style trained from your photos. Reference them in prompts with `@modelname`.

Credits are your monthly allocation for final generations and editing tools. Check your balance anytime via the **Credits** control in the header, or go to **Settings** → **Subscription** for a detailed breakdown. Drafting, uploading, organizing, and viewing are always free.

## When to use Kive

Use Kive when you want polished images or short videos without running a full shoot. It keeps edits non‑destructive and everything organized in one place. It’s great for teams that collaborate on boards with comments, versions, and permissions.
