IMAI and Imgentic are two different things. IMAI refers to a Thai AI agency and training school that produces ads and sells courses, while Imgentic is an all-in-one AI studio at www.imgentic.ai that brings more than 70 models, including Seedream, Nano Banana, Seedance and Kling AI, together on one credit balance, so you can create marketing images and video yourself without hiring someone or buying a course first (last updated: 2026).
- In Thai search results, "IMAI" refers to at least three different things: the IMAI Production AI page (an agency), IMAI Academy (courses) and imai.studio (an overseas fashion AI product).
- Imgentic has only one official URL: www.imgentic.ai — searches for "Imgenticai" or "www imgentic ai" typed as one string are just misspellings of the same site.
- Kling AI was launched by Kuaishou in mid-2024, while Seedream and Seedance are developed by ByteDance, and Nano Banana is an image model from Google's Gemini family.
- Imgentic shows the credit price before every generation, and its 13 browser tools are free to use.
- The lowest-risk order for beginners is "try the tool first on a small credit pack, then buy a course", not the other way around.
What Is IMAI? Telling Apart the IMAI Page, IMAI Academy, IMAI Studio and Imgentic
IMAI is a name Thai searchers use for at least three different things in search results: IMAI Production AI, a Thai agency that produces viral AI ads and delivers corporate training; IMAI Academy, a Thai prompt-writing course; and IMAI Studio (imai.studio), an overseas AI-agent product for fashion. Imgentic (imgentic.ai) is a different kind of offering from all three: an all-in-one AI studio you use yourself.
The confusion is no surprise. The name is short and neutral-sounding, and it even happens to echo the Japanese word "aimai" (曖昧), which means "ambiguous." If you came from a viral Facebook clip, you are probably thinking of the Thai page, but if you clicked through to an English-language site about fashion agents, that's imai.studio. Here is how to tell them apart one by one.
IMAI Production AI — A Thai Agency That Produces and Teaches (Contact via Facebook/LINE Only)
IMAI Production AI is the Thai Facebook page behind a number of viral AI ads. It works on a production-for-hire model: brands hire the team to create content or book corporate training. Contact and pricing go through Facebook and LINE, and there is no website with public prices. More background: AI Production.
The key point is that this is a "hire us to make it" or "learn with us" business, not software. You can't log in to the page and create videos yourself.
IMAI Academy — Courses on Prompts and Character Control
IMAI Academy is the teaching side of the same Thai brand. It sells paid courses on prompt writing, AI image and video creation, and character (avatar) control that keeps the same face in every shot. It suits people who want structured lessons in Thai, but remember that after the course you still need to find tools to produce real work.
IMAI Studio (imai.studio) — Fashion AI Agents, Unrelated to the Thai Brand
IMAI Studio at imai.studio is an overseas product that provides AI agents for fashion brands and has no connection whatsoever to the Thai IMAI agency or school. Its website claims that three AI agents dramatically shorten a fashion production process of around 14 weeks. If you wandered there while looking for a Thai course, you're on the wrong site; the names are the same purely by coincidence.
Decision Map: Learn (Academy) vs. Hire (Production) vs. Do It Yourself (Imgentic)
A simple way to work out which "IMAI" you actually need:
- You want to learn techniques in Thai → IMAI Academy is the answer, but you usually have to message their inbox to ask about pricing.
- You want someone else to make your ads → IMAI Production AI on the agency side, with a campaign-level budget.
- You want to create content yourself with software → Imgentic at www.imgentic.ai lets you create images and video yourself right away, and imgentic.ai shows the credit price before every generation.
- You run a fashion brand and want an automated agent system → imai.studio, an overseas product unrelated to the Thai side.
In short: IMAI = people who teach you or produce for you / Imgentic = a tool you use yourself.
What Is Imgentic, and How Does the Imgentic System Work?
Imgentic is an all-in-one AI studio at www.imgentic.ai that brings more than 70 image, video and audio models, including Seedream, Nano Banana, Seedance and Kling AI, together on one credit balance. Users can go from a text prompt to finished marketing assets without switching tools.
Instead of paying for four separate subscriptions and copying work back and forth between apps, you do everything in one account. This "one workspace, many models" pitch is the main reason SMEs compare Imgentic with subscribing to Kling AI on its own.
The Official URL Is www.imgentic.ai (Common Misspellings: "Imgenticai," "www imgentic ai")
Imgentic's only official website is www.imgentic.ai. Searches such as "Imgenticai" or "www imgentic ai" typed as one string are simply misspellings of the same address; there is no separate product called Imgenticai. Always type the URL directly, with the dot before "ai," to avoid copycat pages that like to borrow the names of popular AI brands.
How Does Imgentic Work? Brief → Plan → Create → Refine
Imgentic is not an agentic AI system that plans work on its own; you run each step yourself, with every model on one balance. In practice, the Imgentic flow looks like this:
- Brief: You describe the result you want, for example, "A 15-second product video for a skin-care serum, clean studio look."
- Plan: You break the brief into steps: reference images, scene shots, motion and on-screen text.
- Create: You pick the right model for each step: Seedream or Nano Banana for images, Seedance or Kling AI for video.
- Refine: You give feedback in plain language and regenerate only the parts that aren't right yet.
Who Is Imgentic Built For? SMEs, Marketers and Creators
Imgentic targets people who need commercial content fast but can't afford an agency retainer: SME owners making product photos and short ads, marketers who need to test several creatives per campaign, and creators producing short videos every day. The honest downside: DIY tools still take your time and your creative judgment, unlike an agency, where you don't have to do the work — it just costs far more per piece.
Imgentic Studio: Create Your First Piece in 5 Steps
Imgentic Studio is the creation workspace inside imgentic.ai, where users choose a model, enter a prompt and create images or video right away. Your first project takes five steps: sign up, choose a model, write the brief, generate and export.
Step by Step: From Sign-Up to Your First Export
- Sign up at www.imgentic.ai — Create an account with your email. You don't need to buy any course before you start.
- Choose the right model for the job — For still images, use Seedream or Nano Banana; for video, use Seedance or Kling AI.
- Write your brief as a prompt — Specify the product, style, lighting and format, for example, "Iced coffee product photo in a glass, morning light, 1:1 ratio for Instagram."
- Generate and refine — Review the first results, then adjust the prompt or request targeted edits until it matches your brand.
- Export and publish — Download the file and post it to your channels right away.

Prompt-Writing Tips for the Thai Market
Based on common beginner cases, three habits clearly make prompts for the Thai market work better:
- Always specify the platform and aspect ratio — "9:16 for TikTok" or "1:1 for a Shopee storefront," because the defaults often come out in the wrong shape.
- Describe the Thai context clearly — "Thai street market" or "Bangkok condo," or the model will default to a Western setting.
- Keep Thai text on images short, and always check the spelling in the output. AI still makes mistakes with Thai script, so someone needs to check before you post.
Tip: Save your best-performing prompts as templates. One proven brief structure cuts down revision rounds on every job that follows.
Seedream vs. Nano Banana vs. Seedance vs. Kling AI: How Do the Models in Imgentic Differ?
The models in Imgentic differ by type of work and by developer: Seedream (ByteDance) creates images, Nano Banana (an image model from Google's Gemini family) creates and edits images, Seedance (ByteDance) makes short videos, and Kling AI (Kuaishou, launched mid-2024) makes cinematic-style video. Each suits a different kind of job.
Comparison Table: Developer, Type and Strengths
| Model | Developer | Type | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedream | ByteDance | Images | Product photos, realistic scenes, marketing stills |
| Nano Banana | Google (Gemini family) | Images + image editing | Editing existing photos, character control, fast variations |
| Seedance | ByteDance | Video | Short social clips, multi-shot sequences |
| Kling AI | Kuaishou (launched 2024) | Video | Cinematic motion, dramatic and longer ad footage |
Worth knowing: Nano Banana went viral in 2025 mainly because of its image-editing ability. It can change one element in a photo while leaving everything else intact, something pure generation models struggle to do. For a deeper dive, look for a Seedream vs. Nano Banana image model comparison.
Which Model for Which Job: Product Photos vs. Viral Video Ads
Rules of thumb for Thai sellers and marketers:
- Catalog and product photos → Start with Seedream for clean, realistic still images.
- Editing or retouching real photos you already have → Nano Banana, because image editing is its core strength.
- High volumes of TikTok/Reels clips → Seedance, which was built for short social video.
- Hero ads where motion quality is the selling point → Kling AI, the strongest of the four at cinematic motion.
Kling AI on Its Own vs. Kling AI Inside Imgentic
Kling AI is a text- and image-to-video model developed by the Chinese company Kuaishou and first launched in mid-2024. You can use it two ways: subscribe directly on Kuaishou's own platform, or use it as one of the video engines inside Imgentic. Subscribing directly gets you Kling alone, whereas using Kling as your AI video generator inside Imgentic puts it alongside Seedream, Nano Banana and Seedance in one account, so the image-to-video steps flow into each other. The downside of the combined route: if you only make video and never touch images, a single-model plan may be enough. Compare the options in the pricing section below.
Is Imgentic Free? What Costs Nothing and What Uses Credits in 2026
Signing up for Imgentic is free, but generating images and video uses credits. The site does not advertise free generation credits for new accounts. What is free: 13 browser tools for trimming clips, compressing files, converting formats and making GIFs, which need no login and no credits (source: imgentic.ai and imgentic.ai/free-tools, checked September 2026).
How Imgentic Credits Work
- Price before you press: every generation shows its credit price first, and the cost depends on the model, clip length and resolution.
- Refunds on failure: if a generation fails, its credits are refunded automatically.
- Available models: the same balance covers Seedream, Nano Banana, Seedance, Kling AI, VEO and more than 70 models in total.
Free Tiers Elsewhere: Treat Them as Test Drives
If you're searching for "free agentic AI," treat every free tier as a test drive, not a production plan. Free tiers often add watermarks or cap the resolution, which makes the output unusable for real ads. Always check the quality of exported files before planning a campaign on a free plan.
The Cheapest Way to Start on Imgentic
The smallest one-off credit pack, Starter, is THB 319.93 including VAT for 1,500 credits. It is enough to practise writing prompts and compare a few models before you commit to a Premium subscription. Move up to a larger pack or a subscription when your credits run out before you finish one real campaign.
How Much Does Imgentic Cost? 2026 Pricing Compared with the Alternatives
Imgentic pricing in 2026 is best weighed against subscribing to Kling AI on its own and against IMAI Academy course fees. The tables below show what each option actually gives you, without having to "message the inbox to ask."
Imgentic Plans and What Each Includes
| Plan or pack | Price incl. VAT (THB) | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Account | 0 | Sign-up and 13 free browser tools; generating uses credits |
| Starter pack | 319.93 | 1,500 credits, one-off |
| Popular pack | 1,068.93 | 5,250 credits, one-off |
| Premium Monthly | 662.33 | 1,000 credits per month, faster queue and early access |
| Premium Annual | 7,479.30 | 12,000 credits per year |
| Team Enterprise | 10,593 per year | 10,000 credits in a shared team pool |
Prices from imgentic.ai/pricing, checked September 2026; larger packs and a Half-Year plan are also listed there.
Cost Comparison: Imgentic vs. Kling AI Alone vs. Hiring IMAI Production vs. an Academy Course
| Option | 2026 cost | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Imgentic | From THB 319.93 (1,500 credits) | Multi-model workspace (images + video) | High-volume DIY production |
| Kling AI alone | — | A single video model | Video-only creators |
| Hire IMAI Production | Quote via inbox/LINE | Finished ads made for you | Brands with a campaign budget |
| IMAI Academy course | — | Knowledge, but no tools to keep using | People who learn well in a classroom |
How to Calculate the Cost of One Finished Video
Cost per finished video = monthly plan fee ÷ number of actually usable videos per month, counting only clips good enough to post, not every time you hit generate. Two adjustments matter: first, budget for 2–4 generations per usable clip to cover revisions (based on common beginner cases); second, add in your own time. If a THB 3,000 agency clip saves you five hours, the DIY plan is only cheaper when your hourly value is lower than that difference.
Common Mistakes and Pitfalls When Starting Out with AI Image and Video Creation
The five most common mistakes Thai beginners make are typing the wrong URL (searching "Imgenticai" instead of imgentic.ai), confusing the Thai IMAI agency with imai.studio, buying an expensive course before trying free tools, using a video model for image work, and transferring money over chat without a written price and scope of work.
URL and Brand-Name Traps (Fake Pages, Misspellings)
- Bookmark www.imgentic.ai instead of clicking through ads or social links, because misspelled searches such as "Imgenticai" can surface unrelated or copycat pages.
- Before paying, check which "IMAI" you are dealing with: the Thai agency is on Facebook/LINE, while imai.studio is a separate overseas fashion product.
Course First or Tool First: Which Order Saves More?
In most cases, starting with the tool saves more. Signing up for Imgentic is free and the smallest credit pack is THB 319.93 (see Imgentic pricing), so hands-on practice teaches you prompt basics cheaply, while a course you pay for before you've generated anything teaches concepts you can't apply yet. Buy a course only when you've hit a specific wall you couldn't get past on your own, such as keeping a character's face consistent across a whole series.
Choosing the Wrong Model Type: Using a Video Model for Image Work (and Vice Versa)
From common beginner cases, this is the mistake that quietly burns the most credits. Generating still product images with Kling AI or Seedance means paying video-level credits for work Seedream does better and more cheaply. The reverse fails too: you can't expect an image model to create motion. Match the model type to the deliverable first, then work on prompt quality.
Red Flags When Pricing Is "Inbox Only"
- No written scope of work: If the price only comes through chat, always ask for a written message listing the deliverables, the number of revision rounds and the deadline before you transfer money.
- Pressure to decide quickly: "Offer ends tonight" plus inbox-only pricing is a classic pattern of social-commerce scams in Thailand.
- Identity can't be verified: Pages with no registered company name, no tax invoices and an inconsistent history deserve extra scrutiny.
- Compare with transparent options first: When platforms publish their prices, you have a baseline to judge whether the price you're quoted in chat is fair.
