← Audio and video

In simple English

This tool lets you build a website for making video advertisements with computer-generated actors. You type a script and upload reference photos for your actor and product. The system creates vertical videos for phones. It includes a user system with Google sign-in and Stripe payments for selling credits. You must pay for an external API service to run the video generation.

What it is

A Next.js web application that provides a user interface and backend for generating AI video advertisements. It integrates with an external API gateway to drive video models such as Google Veo and ByteDance Seedance.

What it is good for

Solo founders and agencies who want to launch their own video generation service or make video ads without paying for expensive commercial platforms.
