ABOUT
Invoke
Invoke is an enterprise-ready generative AI platform that helps businesses train AI models on their proprietary content, build workflows to accelerate production processes, and empower their creative teams with tools to control every aspect of the creative process.

Invoke uses openly licensed frameworks (like LoRA and SDXL), allowing organizations to completely own all the model files trained on the platform indefinitely.

Invoke has a Community Edition that is freely available under a commercially-friendly license (Apache 2) and a Professional Edition available for users and teams that want a hosted environment.
ABOUT
Midjourney
Midjourney is an AI image generator that creates art and imagery based on textual descriptions. It uses  machine learning algorithms to create detailed and imaginative visuals from simple user prompts.

Known for its accessibility and ease of use, Midjourney is popular among hobbyists, artists, and professionals who want to generate art quickly and easily.

Midjourney offers a subscription-based pricing model with various tiers, catering to different user needs. Currently, Midjourney is only usable through a Discord channel, though they have announced plans to roll out a browser-based experience in the future.

Data & Model Ownership
What Midjourney offers:
•
You own all outputs you create, allowing you to use the generated images for personal or commercial purposes.
•
The model used to create assets is Midjourney’s proprietary model, which is used jointly by all its users. Midjourney reserves the right to use your input and output data to feed back into its proprietary model.
What sets Invoke apart:
•
Full Model Ownership: Every asset and model you create with Invoke remains exclusively yours. You have complete ownership of your models and assets in perpetuity, even if you decide to leave the platform.
•
Exclusive Use of Training Data:  Invoke never uses your training assets to train someone else’s model, ensuring your data and models are solely for your use.

Creative Control
What Midjourney offers:
•
Midjourney is primarily used via a chatbot, where users input textual descriptions to generate images. This makes it a straightforward “push button, get image” solution, ideal for users seeking instant results with minimal setup.
•
Midjourney employs "prompt engineering", a method whereby the model infers users intent and adjusts prompts to ensure a generally high quality image, regardless of what the user inputs.
What sets Invoke apart:
•
Visual Canvas for Refining & Compositing: Invoke’s creation tools include a visual canvas that allows users to refine and composite their images. Users can incorporate additional elements like sketches, models, or specific regional guidance into the creation process.
•
Custom Models: Securely train custom models on your own content. In as little as 30 minutes using as few as a dozen images, create your own models that power creative workflows and maintain consistency from asset to asset.

What sets Invoke apart:
•
Enterprise-Grade Security: Invoke AI offers enterprise-level security features, including robust encryption, secure user authentication, and compliance with industry standards, ensuring that data and models are protected against unauthorized access and breaches.
•
Advanced Collaboration Tools: Invoke AI provides a suite of collaboration tools that facilitate seamless teamwork, including shared workspaces, version control, and real-time feedback mechanisms, enabling teams to work efficiently and cohesively on AI projects.
