# What is Caimera? Tools, use cases and who it's for

Caimera is an AI visual production platform for fashion teams. Marketing, e-commerce and design teams use it to go from a sketch or a flat lay photo to on-model catalog images, campaign images, video, prints and tech packs, without booking a studio shoot.

This page is a short overview of what Caimera does, what you put in and get out, and which plan includes what. Each section links to the full guide.

###### Common questions

**Can I use my own model, so every image shows the same face?**
Yes. Custom models are available on the Pro and Enterprise plans. You add a model from two images, a full body shot and a close-up, and it stays private to your workspace. You can use it across Editorial Images, Catalog Images and video. Adding a model costs 75 credits. See [How to Create, Add and Use Custom Models](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/how-to-create-add-and-use-custom-models-on-caimera-5bd876/).

**Does Caimera have an API?**
Yes, on the Pro and Enterprise plans. See [API Access: Which Tools and Plans Support It](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/api-access-which-tools-and-plans-support-it-1hhrxhk/).

**What does Caimera connect to?**
Google Drive, Dropbox, Bynder and GlobalEdit for sending finished assets, Shopify and Bynder in your Library, and Instagram and Pinterest for posting and performance. See the [Bynder setup guide](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/bynder-integration-setup-i2oq2g/) and [posting to social accounts](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/how-to-post-on-your-social-accounts-straight-from-caimera-aazist/).

**Does it work for teams?**
Yes. Plans are priced per user. Workspaces have image comments, a shared Library, per-member credit limits and usage reporting for admins. Enterprise workspaces can use [Microsoft SSO](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/set-up-microsoft-sso-for-your-caimera-workspace-npa9xd/) and [SCIM user provisioning](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/set-up-user-provisioning-scim-with-microsoft-entra-niyk43/).

**Is there an AI agent, or do I have to prompt every image?**
Caimera has agents that ideate and generate with you in a chat, design products, and produce scheduled content on their own. See [Meet Caimera Agents](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/meet-caimera-agents-bp8f56/).

**How accurate are the garments?**
It depends on the tool. Model Swap inside Catalog Images is best for complex prints where garment accuracy is critical. Editorial Images works well for solid colours, medium prints and lifestyle shots. Small text, logos and fine embroidery can need a fix; see [Distorted Logos and Text on Garments](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/distorted-logos-and-text-on-garments-in-editorial-images-eq55gr/).

**What does it cost?**
There is a free plan with 20 one-time credits and no credit card. Paid plans start at $15 per user per month, and a catalog image costs about $0.99 on the Pro plan billed annually ($99 per user per month). See [Caimera plans and pricing at a glance](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/caimera-plans-and-pricing-at-a-glance-np9qa1/) and [Credits Usage](https://help.caimera.ai/en/article/credits-usage-1pshr4i/).
