Pronunciation dictionary, avatar controls, and partner payouts
Four independent improvements in one release: a pronunciation dictionary for voiceover, separate expressiveness and motion controls for avatars, clear reasons when a file can't be attached to a generation, and a Withdraw button for your partner balance — to a card or in crypto.
Alongside the big Pilot release, Givon AI shipped four independent improvements at the same time — each one fixes a specific annoyance people asked about. We rounded them up in one article.
Voices now has a Dictionary tab: set once how Givon AI should pronounce a name, brand, or unusual word, and the rule applies across all your voiceovers.
For HeyGen avatars, "Expressiveness" became a picklist instead of free text, and "Motion" moved into its own field in the settings row instead of a block under the prompt.
If a photo or video couldn't be attached to a generation, the tile used to just go dim with no explanation. Now it shows the reason: file too small, wrong aspect ratio, or unsupported duration.
And the partner program's Money card now has a Withdraw button — request a payout of your referral balance to a card or in crypto, right from your account.

What changed
Pronunciation dictionary
Set how Givon AI pronounces names, brands, and tricky words — the rule applies across all your voiceovers.
Avatar expressiveness and motion
Expressiveness is now a picklist; motion is a separate field for describing gestures, head turns, and delivery.
Clear reasons when a file is blocked
Instead of a silent lock on the tile, you get the exact reason: file too small, wrong aspect ratio, or duration out of range.
Partner balance withdrawal
Request a payout of your referral balance to a card or in crypto (TRC20) — right from the Money card in your account.
Voices
Pronunciation dictionary: fix what the model gets wrong
Previously, if Givon AI mispronounced a name, brand, or unusual word in a voiceover, there was no way to fix it — you had to live with however the model read it. Now the Voices section has a third tab — Dictionary: add a "word → how to pronounce it" pair, and the rule applies to every voiceover you generate afterward.
The add-card sits right at the top: word or phrase, then how to pronounce it, plus a Preview button so you can check it before saving. Any rule can be toggled off temporarily without deleting it, and you can search the dictionary to find one quickly.
Numbers got fixed too
Numbers in Russian text are now always spelled out as words (e.g. "5" becomes "five") automatically, with no setup needed, across all voiceovers.
Avatars
Expressiveness and motion — separate avatar controls
For HeyGen avatars, "Expressiveness" used to be a free-text field — now it's a choice of four options: Default, Subtle, Natural, Energetic. It's easier to see what you can actually set, instead of guessing at wording from scratch.
"Motion" is still a free-text description — gestures, head turn, delivery style — but it moved out of the block under the prompt and into the settings row next to the other video parameters, as its own button with a text field.
Prompt bar
A blocked file now tells you why
If a photo or video reference didn't fit the selected model, the tile just went dim — no explanation at all. Now a blocked tile shows a lock icon, and hovering reveals the exact reason: the file is too small, the aspect ratio is off, or the video reference's duration doesn't fit. On phones, where there's nothing to hover over, the reason is printed right on the tile.
"Too large" isn't a block
If a file is bigger than the provider needs, Givon AI resizes it before sending — that doesn't block attaching it. Only files that are too small, or the wrong format or duration, actually get blocked.
Partner program
Partner balance withdrawal — to a card or in crypto
The partner program's Money card now has a Withdraw button. Next, pick a method — Card (card number and recipient's full name) or Crypto (a TRC20 address) — enter an amount, and the request goes into review. The amount is reserved from your available balance right away, so it can't be spent twice.
The minimum withdrawal is 500 ₽. While a request is Pending, you can cancel it and the funds return to your balance. Request history and statuses (Pending, Paid, Rejected, Cancelled) are right there under the withdraw button.
Your details are protected
The card number shown to partners is masked — only the last 4 digits are visible. Full payment details are only visible to a support operator processing the request.
