Voyager is built around five ideas. Once they click, the rest of the app is easy to find your way around.

​
1. The agent does the work

The agent is the AI you talk to. It reads your request, plans the piece, uses tools to make it, and checks its own result before showing you. You choose which AI powers the agent:
  • Claude, signed in with your Claude subscription or an Anthropic API key.
  • ChatGPT, signed in with your ChatGPT subscription or an OpenAI API key.
  • Voyager models, open models that run through your Voyager account and need a Voyager plan.
Using your own Claude or ChatGPT costs nothing extra from Voyager. With an API key, the provider bills you per use. You can switch models from the model picker in any chat. Before a paid step, the agent shows you an estimate. Whether it waits for your answer depends on how you’ve set approvals and spending.

​
2. You work in chats, grouped into projects

A chat is one conversation with the agent. You write a request, the agent replies, and you keep going until the piece is done. A project groups related chats around one folder, with its own brand kit and a short brief the agent reads every time. Use a project for anything you’ll come back to, like a product launch or a client. A quick one-off can live in a chat without a project.
Example: A “Spring launch” project holds a chat for the teaser, a chat for the social cutdowns and a chat for the thumbnail. All three see the same logo, colors and brief.

3. Your work is ordinary files on your disk

Everything the agent makes is saved as normal files in a folder on your computer: videos, images, audio, and the editable source behind them. There’s no special library to export from.
  • A chat without a project saves to its own folder inside ~/Voyager (you can change this in Settings → General).
  • A project saves to the folder you chose when you created it.
You can open these files in any app, back them up, or move them like any other file. See Where your files are and Data locations.

​
4. Generation providers make new media

When the agent needs something that doesn’t exist yet, like a generated video shot, an image or a voiceover, it asks a generation provider to make it. Providers are services such as Higgsfield, FAL, Google and ElevenLabs. You decide who pays, in Settings → Accounts → Generation providers:
  • Your own media keys or sign-ins. The provider bills your account with them directly. No Voyager plan needed.
  • Voyager credits. Voyager makes the request and takes credits from your plan.
Voyager tries your providers in the order you set. If one is out of credits, rejects its sign-in or is down, Voyager tries the next one, which may bill a different account. To stop this, turn off Automatic fallback, or tell the agent which provider to use for a job and it will stick to that one. See Generation providers. Plenty of work needs no provider at all. Editing your own footage, cutting clips together, captions and most motion graphics run on your computer.

​
5. Voyager credits pay for Voyager’s services

Voyager credits come with a Voyager plan. They pay for media generated through Voyager and for chats that use Voyager models. They don’t pay for your Claude or ChatGPT, and your Claude or ChatGPT doesn’t pay for media. A plan is optional. You can use Voyager with only your own Claude or ChatGPT and your own media keys. Plan names, prices and how many credits each includes are on voyager.so/pricing. Manage your plan at voyager.so/dashboard/billing. See Plans and credits.
