No tech skills. Three steps.
- 1
Paste your script
Any explainer, ad, or lesson — up to a few paragraphs. No storyboard, no shot list.
- 2
AI directs it
It casts a presenter, writes a storyboard, stages every scene, then QA-checks its own cut.
- 3
Voice & render
Add narration in one click and export a finished 1080p MP4. No editing skills needed.
Free · no sign-up · your script stays in your browser
The same video. A fraction of the cost.
Not a slideshow. A little film.
Acts, doesn't just talk
The character thinks on questions, shrugs on myths, and celebrates the payoff — real animator beats, not a talking head.
Directs like a human
A storyboard pass plans the arc and emotion before a single frame, so the video has a hook, a point, and a finish.
Props appear on cue
Objects the script mentions pop in as they're said and get pulled from an open icon library when the kit lacks them.
Narrated automatically
Built-in voices matched to your presenter and tone, lip-synced to the stick figure, timed to the scene.
Questions, answered
I'm not technical. Can I really do this?+
Yes. If you can paste text into a box, you can make a video. No timeline, no keyframes, no software to install — it runs in your browser.
Do I need to show my face or use my voice?+
No. The stick figure is your presenter and the narration is generated for you. Fully faceless.
What kind of videos work best?+
Curiosity-gap explainers: history, health, psychology, money, science — the same formats racking up millions of views above.
What do I get at the end?+
A finished 1080p MP4 with narration, ready to upload to YouTube, Shorts, Reels or TikTok.
Your next video could be the one that takes off.
Paste a script and have a finished, narrated explainer before your coffee cools.
