Animate AI - The world's first AI video generator for animated series

Hi Product Hunt Fam 👋😻！ I’m Helen, Product Lead for Animate AI, and I’m beyond excited to share our launch with you today! 🎉 A huge thanks to @hamza_afzal_butt for hunting us, and to the PH community and team for making this platform so amazing! 🙌 🤔 What is Animate AI? Animate AI is the world’s first all-in-one AI video generator designed specifically for creating animated video series! 🎥 Whether you're crafting multi-episode stories, trailers, or kids' tales, Animate AI helps you create stunning videos 10x faster and at 30% lower costs—and no technical skills required! ✨ 💡 Why did we build Animate AI? Before Animate AI, generating multi-episode animated series was messy, expensive, and complex. I spent around $100/month bouncing between different tools—creating characters, storyboarding, generating voiceovers, music and hoping everything would line up just right. It was overwhelming and easy to get lost! 😩 Animate AI’s mission? We wanted to make the process seamless and affordable. Just describe your idea, and let AI assist you—everything from character design to storyboards, video generation, and even automated enhancements. It’s like having your own animation studio on a budget! 🤩 🌟 Why Animate AI? Storytelling should be about creativity, not technicalities. Animate AI simplifies every step: 👍 Generate consistent characters to keep continuity across episodes. 👍 Turn scripts into storyboards with visuals and voiceovers in minutes. 👍 Transform ideas into stunning videos with just a prompt or image. 👍 Seamlessly integrate cutting-edge AI models and tools in one place. 👍 Autopilot Mode even handles everything for you! 🤝 Who made this possible? This vision came to life thanks to the incredible support of the Head of Giant AI Lab @johnsonuk, and our fantastic team. A big shoutout to our Design Engineer Lead @maybemonad, and Creative Director @fangying430. Special thanks to our Project Manager, Xiaoqi Mo; AI Artists Mingjia Lei, Zhangyuan Zhou, and Jingxi Chen. We also want to acknowledge the valuable advice and support from our Algorithm Engineers Xinhan Di, Runhua Shi, Huan Yang, Kexin Luan, Zihao Chen, and Safety Engineer Xiaohao Zhang. Couldn’t have done it without all of you! 💪 🚀 Special Launch Offer To celebrate our launch, we’re offering a 75% discount on the first month of the Standard Plan (just $9.99!) exclusively for Product Hunt users until 12/31/2024. 🎁 👉 Explore Animate AI: https://animateai.pro 👉 Enjoy Video Shows : https://animateai.pro/showcases 👉 Start for Free: https://animateai.pro/launch 💬 We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Thank you showing me this a few days ago. Helen and I brainstormed some future ideas and marketing activities and we ended up with the fact there are many opportunities for kids to play with their AI movies further – beyond online world. Hope that many kids will appreciate this video generator as I do. GL, Helen and the team! :)

I think it's perfect for creating education content for children, whether it's for language learning or math. I'm very optimistic for this direction.

Congrats Animate Ai team on launching the product!! Make animation so simple and easy!!

As a YouTuber who can't draw to save my life, this is exactly what I needed! 🎬 Created a quick 2-minute animated explainer for my channel in literally minutes (used to take days with traditional tools). The characters actually stay consistent throughout the series - no more random style changes mid-video! The $9.9 intro price is a steal considering the time it saves. Though now I have no excuse for my lack of weekly uploads 😅

Superb, Just make a video about ErrorsMan and got a good animation video. Please add download option otherwise need to go in console-selection hehe: ) Huge Congrats to entire team of Animate AI

It’s an honor to lauch a product on the same day as you! This product is exactly what I need, because the APP I made also relies on a lot of animation production! Other AI video platforms are not particularly well adapted to animation scenes, and this effect is what I need.

Super cool! I've always dreamed of being able create my own animated shorts in that classic Dreamworks/Pixar style. But also very interested in mixed-reality (a la OG Pink Panther / Who Killed Roger Rabbit) -- any plans to add in that functionality?

I'm loving how easy it is to create animation videos now. No complicated steps, just quick results!

Congrats on launching Animate AI, Helen! 🎉 An all-in-one AI tool for creating animated video series sounds like a dream for storytellers, creators, and educators. The ability to seamlessly handle character design, storyboarding, voiceovers, and video generation in one platform is such a game-changer. Plus, keeping continuity across episodes makes it perfect for multi-episode storytelling. I love how Animate AI focuses on creativity, not technical complexity, and Autopilot Mode makes it accessible for everyone, regardless of skill level. Excited to see the amazing stories and animations people will create with this. Amazing work, and best of luck with the launch! 🚀🎥✨👏

I'm amazed at how much it automates the animation process. It gives me creativity without stress.

Wow! I like this one! Can you, guys, reveal how you manage large-scale rendering for multi-episode series while keeping everything fast and scalable?

Congrats on the launch team! 🚀 This is a tool that I was looking for for so long, looking forward to creating with it.

Great project! Are you planning to offer an API service?

Does the tool support exporting animations in multiple formats, like GIFs or videos? It would be great for sharing on different platforms.

NetFlixed soon.

I made a prompt and says "pending" how long does it take to generate?
