- The homepage says archive images are preferred, with AI stills used only when a real image does not fit; it also says licences are tracked.
Field notes
The sample production walkthrough gives a concrete view of the proposed workflow: a research note with linked claims precedes a 2,980-word script, voice track, image selection, render, and check pass. The page says archive images are prioritized and that licences are recorded, with AI stills reserved for cases where real images do not fit. Pricing options include monthly, six-month, and lifetime purchases.
