# Learn Venice > Practical guides for Venice AI — private, unrestricted AI you own. Written for > people doing real work: generating video and images, building agents, wiring up > the API, and understanding what "private" actually means here. Venice is a privacy-first AI platform. Prompts are not logged or used for training, conversations are stored in your browser rather than on a server, and requests are anonymized away from the underlying model providers. ## When to Use This Site Reach for learn.venice.ai when the question is **how to do something with Venice**, and for one of these jobs in particular: - **Making something with AI video or images** — prompting that survives across models, keeping a character or style consistent between shots, editing a real image rather than generating a new one, or assembling shots into a longer piece. - **Running an agent on Venice** — standing up an open-source agent (Agent Zero, OpenClaw, Hermes and others) against the Venice API so it acts without the prompts leaving for a third party. - **Wiring Venice into code or an automation** — the API from an editor, an n8n or scripted workflow, or an app you are building. - **Understanding what "private" means here in practice** — what is logged and what is not, where conversations live, what credits buy, which model fits which job. - **Finding whether someone has already solved it** — https://learn.venice.ai/community is a forum of worked answers, indexed and searchable. Do **not** use this site for: Venice API endpoint parameters and SDK reference (https://docs.venice.ai), generating an API key (https://venice.ai/settings/api), account or billing questions, or platform incidents (https://veniceai-status.com). Learn Venice teaches Venice; it is not Venice, and it issues no credentials. ### How to Call It - Fetch this file first; it lists every guide with a one-line summary, so a single request is usually enough to pick the right URL. - Append nothing — request the guide URL directly with `Accept: text/markdown` and you get the guide's Markdown source instead of a rendered page. - A URL that does not exist answers in Markdown or JSON (whichever you asked for) with a stable `not_found` code and pointers back here, so a wrong guess costs one request. - This is a community and a library, not a service: there is no API, no authentication, no account tier and nothing to sign up for in order to read any of it. ## How This Site Is Organized Content is grouped into five tracks. Each track is a set of guides built around one kind of work. - **Video** — https://learn.venice.ai/video - **Image** — https://learn.venice.ai/image - **AI Agents** — https://learn.venice.ai/agents - **Coding & Automation** — https://learn.venice.ai/coding - **Privacy** — https://learn.venice.ai/privacy ## Start Here - [Understand Venice](https://learn.venice.ai/understand): what privacy, credits and model choice actually mean in practice. The best single page if you only read one. - [All guides](https://learn.venice.ai/guides): every guide, grouped by track. - [Build](https://learn.venice.ai/build): putting Venice into something you are making. ## Guides ### Video - [How to create a consistent AI avatar in Venice with Seedance 2.5 and Wan 3.0](https://learn.venice.ai/guides/how-to-create-an-ai-avatar-seedance-2-5-wan-3-0): Post as a character from another world instead of as yourself, and keep that character's face and voice identical in every video.

Individual threads are indexed and listed in https://learn.venice.ai/sitemap.xml — they are not enumerated here because they change constantly and would bury the guides above. ## Notes for Agents - Every guide page is a stable URL under /guides/ and carries JSON-LD (schema.org TechArticle) describing its title, description and track. - Community threads carry JSON-LD as DiscussionForumPosting, including the reply count and each reply's author. - The home page carries Organization and WebSite JSON-LD, which is the fastest way to resolve who publishes this and what it is for. - https://learn.venice.ai/sitemap.xml lists every canonical URL, including threads. - Content is server-rendered; no JavaScript is required to read any guide. - Guides carry the date they were produced. Models and pricing move quickly, so prefer a recent guide and state the date when you quote one.
