What you can do with it

  • Generate a multi-episode script from a short story idea and style
  • Create character, scene and prop images, then storyboards with shot types and camera moves

Make money with it

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Produce short drama or comic-style videos for social media channels without a film crew
  • Make storyboarded promotional or story-led video ads for clients at low cost

Can you use it commercially?

Things to check

  • Needs paid API keys from AI providers for text, image and video generation
