Ethiopia
Yourbeauty.Yourclone.Yourprice.
Ethiopian models now get paid every time a brand uses their look, and they approve every ad. On Konjit, verified models license an AI clone of themselves, set their own price and are paid in birr. Brands in Ethiopia and abroad get premium campaigns with real, licensed faces.

Why Konjit
Beauty ages. Your clone doesn't.
Your career shouldn't end when the shoots stop.
Modelling careers are short. Bookings fade as you age.
→✦Your clone stays the age you are today and can keep earning for years, on your terms.
You can only be on one set, in one city, on one day.
→✦Your clone can appear in many campaigns at once while you live your life.
Long shoot days, travel and costs you pay up front.
→✦One verified photo session. After that, no studio days needed.
Agencies take big cuts and payments arrive late.
→✦You set your price and keep 100% of it. Brands pay our fee on top, and you're paid in birr.
Your face gets used without permission online.
→✦Every ad needs your approval, carries an AI label, and you can stop future use any time.
Why it's affordable
Real models, paid every time. Priced for Ethiopian brands.
Brands pay for the ad, not for a studio, crew or travel. The model is paid for every licence, not just for days on set.

Why it's easy for models
- ✦
One photo session, then no more shoot days
Do one verified session in the app. Your clone works while you live your life.
- ✦
Paid per licence, not per day
At the sample prices on this site, one 12-month TV licence would pay ETB 140,000–336,000, about 7 to 67 shoot days of pay (estimate, not a guarantee).
- ✦
Several brands at once
Non-exclusive ads can run in parallel. Exclusivity earns you 50% more.
- ✦
No hidden costs
No unpaid castings, no transport, no agency cut (agencies usually take 15–20%). You keep 100% of your price.
The world's biggest brands already work this way
- Zalando cut image production costs by 90% and time from 6–8 weeks to 3–4 days with AI imagery. About 70% of its late-2024 campaign images were AI-made.
- H&M created digital twins of 30 real models. The models own their twin and are paid when it is used, the same idea Konjit is built on.
- Top agencies already charge by channel and time, for example +100% for one year and +150–300% for TV. Konjit prices the same way, with no surprises.
