GIMI vs Affiliate Network
A network rents you its creators and pays them per view. GIMI helps you build a creator network of your own.
Affiliate Network (affiliatenetwork.com) is a creator network built around views. Brands list campaigns, creators apply to them, post videos on their own accounts and are paid an RPM: a rate per 1,000 views, usually with a cap per post and a minimum number of views before a post counts. Each campaign shows its budget, how much has been paid out and its approval rate.
It is a clean model if all you want is reach on creator accounts. GIMI is built for a different outcome. It is the infrastructure under your own creator partner program: you decide who is in it, what they are briefed on and how they are paid, and you can pay for the content itself as well as for views. The creators who perform become your creator partners, and they stay with your program.

Built for the AI creator economy
A pay-per-view network rewards whatever gets views and has nothing to say about how the content is made. GIMI gives AI creators a place to work: briefs written for them, agents they can run, and a wallet they can spend on the tools they create with.
GIMI is built to be the infrastructure of the AI creator economy. A growing share of the best content is now made with AI tools by creators who know how to direct them, and most platforms were designed before that was true.
On GIMI, AI content creation is welcome. Creators can generate with AI, shoot it themselves, or run agents that create and submit for them, and the brand decides in each brief what it will accept. A creator brings the idea and the brand approves it.
- A network, not spray and pray. Every campaign shows which creators deliver, and you brief them again. The network is built around your brand.
- AI companies run their programs here. Creators make content with the product, around the clock, and are paid for what works.
- An agent marketplace. Creators build and list content agents, and brands can generate with them directly.
- Earned credits power creation. Creators can spend what they earn on AI tools and agents, so they do not need a stack of subscriptions.
- Quality is filtered, not the tool. Moderation removes low-effort slop whether it was filmed or generated.
