Frequently asked questions about this comparison

How does image generation in HOVIGuard differ from Midjourney?+

HOVIGuard offers image generation as part of a multi-model platform (alongside chat, code, video) via a web interface. Midjourney is a specialized image generator, traditionally used via Discord. Which workflow fits you better depends on whether you want an integrated app or a dedicated image studio — details on Midjourney can be found in the Midjourney documentation.

Which image-generation models are available in HOVIGuard?+

HOVIGuard uses EU-available models for image generation such as DALL-E (OpenAI). The catalogue is being continuously expanded; which models are currently enabled and which formats/resolutions they support is shown by the platform.

What rights do I have to the generated images?+

Rights to AI-generated images depend on the respective model provider and its terms (for DALL-E, e.g. OpenAI's terms; for Midjourney, Midjourney's terms). HOVIGuard refers in its terms of use to the applicable provider licence conditions — a concrete legal assessment for your specific use case should be made with qualified counsel.

Are my generated images private?+

In HOVIGuard, generated images are visible only to your account by default; visibility on other platforms (e.g. public Discord channels with Midjourney's basic tier) depends on their setup — details can be found in the respective provider's terms.

Where are images processed and stored?+

HOVIGuard hosts the platform on EU servers; image requests are forwarded via enterprise endpoints to the respective model provider, with storage and retention following HOVIGuard's plan rules. How Midjourney processes data is described in Midjourney's privacy notices.
