Before you begin
- A signed-in account with available credits.
What you’ll achieve:
Model choices
Settings lets you choose image and video models for this conversation. Default follows Tong’s current defaults. Model capabilities, content policies and prices still apply, including for unrestricted workflows.
Open the review mode
Open Guide me beside the prompt. The menu offers two ways to collaborate; it does not change your selected reference files.
Review creative milestones
Choose Guide me to pause for creative review. Inspect the proposed script or media before using the approval action shown for that exact result.
Let Assistant continue automatically
Choose Just make it when you want work to continue without creative review gates. Describe the intended result clearly before sending your request.
Keep track of credits
Check your balance through the wallet link. Assistant and its tools charge as work proceeds; add credits if it pauses for insufficient balance, then continue the saved conversation.
A useful tip
Creative approval confirms the content you reviewed. It is separate from a payment approval between actions.
If something goes wrong
Reopen the saved conversation and read its status before sending again. Let active work finish; an unavailable preview or connection does not mean a new generation is needed.
Read first, create when you’re ready
Reading this guide is free. Assistant and Film maker use credits as they work and pause when your balance is insufficient. Guide me pauses for creative review; Just make it continues automatically.
