Turn an idea or your own text into a video with AI
One topic line is enough: AI researches it on Google, writes the script and makes an explainer video. Or paste your own article or script and it becomes a video right away.
What is idea to video?
You don't always have a link. With this feature you type an idea such as "5 skincare tips for dry season" or "What is compound interest". The AI searches Google, reads the related pages, notes the key facts and writes an explainer script.
If you already have content, paste it: an article, a script, lesson notes. Longer text is used as you wrote it; the AI only splits it into scenes and writes the voice-over, with no extra research.
Either way you get a full video: the look you chose, a voice-over and captions synced word by word, all editable before rendering.
Why make videos from ideas
No link or document needed
One topic line is enough; the AI finds fresh information on Google before writing.
Use your own content
Paste articles or scripts up to 20,000 characters and the video sticks to what you wrote.
Lively explainer looks
Chalkboard, paper cut-out, comic, quiz, myth vs fact, health tips: pick one from the library.
Edit the script freely
Change the voice-over, on-screen text, images and voice before rendering, at no credit cost.

Frequently asked questions
How does the AI research?
For a short idea, the AI searches Google, reads the related pages and notes the key facts before writing the script.
How long can an idea be?
Up to 200 characters is an idea and the AI researches it. Longer is your own content, up to 20,000 characters, with no extra research.
Can I choose the look?
Yes. Pick from the look library or let AI choose. Product looks need a product link for the price and photos.
Are the facts accurate?
The video is based on the pages the AI read or the text you gave. Review the script before rendering, especially numbers.
Can I make it in another language?
Yes. Choose the video language when you create it, whatever language you typed the idea in.
