The Complete SoulrisAI Guide — From Your First Message to Your First AI Movie
SoulrisAI is a pay-per-use AI platform: you chat with AI, make images, create video and talk to the AI by voice, and you pay only for what you generate from a wallet you top up yourself. No monthly subscription, no commitment, and a free tier to try it before you spend anything.
This guide is the whole path in one place. It starts with the things every new user does first, such as creating an account and trying the free tier, and moves toward the more advanced things, like directing a multi-shot AI Movie or earning from referrals. Every link comes with a one-line explanation, so you can see at a glance whether it's the one you need.
In a hurry? The six-step fast path
If you only have ten minutes, do these in order:
- Create your account and verify it.
- Send your first chat message. Free to try.
- Fund your wallet with a small amount to unlock images, video, voice and attachments.
- Generate your first AI image.
- Generate your first AI video clip.
- Peek at what a Movie is, when you're ready to go bigger.

What does it actually cost?
Prices depend on what you make: which chat tier answers you, which image quality or video quality you choose, and how long a clip is. You're always shown an estimate before video generation, and your wallet is only charged for what finishes. Why prices vary by model and tier and pay-per-use vs. subscription explain how it works, and the free tier lets you try chat without spending anything.
