## Overview

Argil is a Paris-based AI video platform that began with avatar and clone videos for social content and now describes itself as a video production studio for teams and AI agents.

- Art Direction
- Director Agent

## FAQ

**How do credits work on Argil?**

Credits are spent when you generate content, and the amount depends on the model and what you create. You choose a monthly credit allowance with the selector on your plan.

**Do unused credits roll over?**

No. Plan credits refresh each month and do not stack. Extra pay-as-you-go credits can be bought in the workspace and do not expire.

**How does yearly billing work?**

Yearly plans are paid upfront and keep a monthly credit allowance. The full annual charge is shown below the monthly equivalent.

**Can I cancel anytime?**

Yes. You can cancel from the billing settings in your workspace, and access continues until the end of the current billing period.

**Does Argil have an API?**

Yes. The documentation covers endpoints for avatars, voices, videos, assets, subtitles and webhooks, plus a credit-cost estimate endpoint. Documented API pricing is credit-based.

**Can I avoid paying for voice through the API?**

Documentation says you can link an ElevenLabs account with your own voices, in which case voice usage is not charged by Argil.
