How to Rent a Digital Twin on AIGORA

Building your own digital twin is one path into AIGORA. Renting someone else's is a completely different one: if you just want to generate content with a face and style you didn't build yourself, it's the faster door in. No character setup, no reference photos, no FaceShield registration. Someone else already did that work and published the result. Your job is just to find it, license it, and start generating.

This is the renter's-side walkthrough: browsing the marketplace, understanding what a rental package actually gets you, generating with a licensed twin, and managing what you create afterward, including who gets to see it.

Step 1: Browse published twins

Published digital humans live on AIGORA's community page, where you can search by name, description, or tag, filter by market and hourly rate, and sort by trending or engagement. Every card you see there is a twin its creator has actively published and made available. Nothing shows up in this list until its owner has flipped it from draft to public.

Open a profile you like and you'll see the same things a creator sees when deciding whether to publish: engagement stats, market category, and whether it's currently marked available for rental. If a twin's owner has toggled rental off, you'll see that reflected before you get anywhere near a payment screen. There's no way to license an unavailable twin.

Step 2: Understand what a rental package includes

Once you open a twin's rental options, you're choosing between four package durations: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. Each one bundles a flat rate, a credit cost, and a hard generation quota: a specific number of images and a specific number of videos included in that package, except the Monthly tier, which is typically set to unlimited generations for the rental period. The Daily package is commonly flagged as the most popular option, and longer durations carry built-in savings versus paying hourly rates repeatedly.

This quota is the part worth reading closely before you commit: it's a hard cap, not a soft suggestion. The rental modal shows you the exact image and video counts included in whatever package you're about to pick, so you know your ceiling before you pay anything.

Honest note: the package summary lists things like commercial usage rights and priority queue as included, but this is the same consumer rental flow every renter goes through, not a separate enterprise or advertiser-licensing product. If you're renting for brand or campaign work, you're using the identical package system a solo creator would use; there's no dedicated business tier layered on top of it.

Generation quotas reset at the end of each rental period, and unused generations don't roll over, so a Weekly package you barely touch on day one doesn't stretch further because of it.

Step 3: License the twin and start generating

Pick a package, confirm, and the rental is processed. You'll get a success confirmation once it goes through. From there, you're generating within the boundaries the twin's owner set when they published it: those boundaries are locked in at the moment you rent, so what you're licensed to generate can't quietly change under you mid-rental even if the owner edits their settings later.

If a twin isn't available for rental, or your requested package has already run out of quota, you won't be able to push through a generation. The system checks your active license before it lets anything render. That's a deliberate limit, not a bug: it's the same mechanism that stops anyone from generating past what they paid for.

Step 4: Manage what you generated — and who sees it

Everything you generate under a rental is tracked against that specific license, and each individual piece of content carries its own visibility setting: public, private, or hidden. You control this per generation, not just at the rental level, so a batch of test renders can stay private while the one you actually like goes public.

To review and manage it all, head to Rental History and make sure you're on the As Renter tab (it's the default view). Expanding an active or past rental shows the content you generated under that license, with the visibility toggle sitting right on each item. The same page also tracks your active-versus-completed rental counts at a glance, so you can see your standing without digging into each card.

Your currently rented twins also surface on My Digital Humans, under a dedicated "Rented Twins" section separate from any twins you own. That's useful if you're both renting others' twins and managing your own published one in the same account.

Honest note: the generated-content grid on Rental History is still catching up to a data-model change under the hood. Generations are now tracked per rental license rather than as one flat list, and the UI in that expanded panel hasn't fully caught up to that shift yet. If a rental's generation grid looks empty or behaves oddly right after you create something, that's a known rough edge, not a sign your content didn't get made. Check My Digital Humans or your generation history as a fallback while it's ironed out.
