Getting Started
New to Sonic AI? This page gives you the fastest path from account creation to your first real workflow, with the current plan rules and credit behavior called out up front.
Create Your Account
Sign up with Google or email and password. The Free plan currently provisions 20 monthly credits and gives you access to Writer, Storyboard, AI Chat, and standard TTS voices.
Explore the Dashboard
The home dashboard shows credits, quick access cards, and recent activity. Use the sidebar to move between AI Writer, Storyboard, TTS, Dubbing, and, on Elite, the Trends workspace.
Pick a Tool & Configure
Select a tool and configure the inputs that matter for that workflow: language, tone, target voice, visual style, or scene count. Some advanced controls unlock on higher plans.
Generate & Iterate
Run the job, review the output, and iterate quickly. Writer streams, TTS returns playable audio, Storyboard saves history, and Dubbing tracks long-running jobs in the background.
Manage Credits & Access
Most generation actions consume credits. Monitor your balance from the dashboard, Subscription page, or billing settings, and check plan-gated features before starting a workflow.

Pro Tip: Use AI Chat First
If you are not sure which tool to open, start with AI Chat. It can explain the workflow, point you to the right page, and clarify credits or plan requirements before you spend time on the wrong tool.
Understanding Credits

|---|---|
| AI Writer generation | 1 credit |

Credit costs can vary by feature, duration, scene count, and plan limits. Check the in-product estimate when available and confirm your current balance in the Settings or Subscription page.
Common Questions
Can I cancel a generation mid-way?
Supported generators can be stopped mid-run, but credits may already have been deducted once processing starts. Check the current cost estimate in the tool before launching a job.
Why can't I open Dubbing or Trends?
AI Dubbing is currently available on Pro and Elite, while the Trends analytics workspace is currently reserved for Elite. If the page is blocked, check your current tier on the Subscription page.
Is my content private?
Content and history are scoped to your authenticated account through the app backend. The docs avoid claiming broader privacy guarantees than the current deployment is configured to provide.
Which languages are supported?
Writer, TTS, and Dubbing all support multilingual workflows, but the exact voice and language catalog depends on the connected provider and your plan tier.
