What Kinovi is
Kinovi generates video and images with reference control, so characters, styles or assets can constrain the output rather than leaving everything to a prompt. A public REST API lets developers wire the same capability into their own product.
It suits teams building generation into a process rather than using a single web page.

Who it is for

What to watch out for
- Character authorization, image consistency, prompt controllability and cost all need checking

- API usage can accumulate cost quickly
- Output still needs manual review before release
