## In depth

### A companion that sends media vs a studio you drive
Joi's characters chat and send photos and videos, and its terms price those views in Neurons on top of the Premium subscription. Kenerate works the other way round: you write the prompt, choose the model and render the image or clip yourself.
Kenerate has no character chat, so it doesn't replace Joi's conversations. Joi is the better fit if you want a companion that chats and sends media inside the conversation.

### Same line on real people and minors
Joi's terms ban sexual content involving minors and sexual content of any real person without consent. Kenerate blocks prompts involving minors on every model and doesn't allow sexual content of real people.

A: Yes, for adults 18+. Spicy video is image-to-video: add the character's picture as the start image, describe the motion and pick one of 14 Spicy models, with clips up to 30 seconds and up to 4K. Spicy video needs a paid plan or a credit pack.
