About Tess

Tess is an AI image generator focused on artist-approved, properly licensed visual models. Creators choose public models to produce illustrations in a consistent style, while artists who contribute models can share in platform revenue. It suits people who want generated artwork with a clearer consent and licensing story than broad, indiscriminate training. Individual subscriptions include 50, 200, or 600 generations each month; allowances reset on the signup date and do not roll over. Pro and Premium cover personal and commercial projects. Creative teams can request annual enterprise capacity and an optional private model trained on their own artwork. Tess makes the most sense when style consistency, artist participation, and commercial usage matter enough to justify a recurring subscription and a fixed monthly generation cap.
