I remember Vivago making the Top 3 two years ago! Great to see the team back with such a massive evolution.

The transition from a pure generation tool to an 'AI Video Agent' with a structured workflow is amazing product design.

Thank you for recognizing the journey!

Two years is a long time in AI, and we’ve poured countless hours into reimagining what the future of video production should look like.

We are thrilled that you love the new structured workflow. Our design goal was to remove the randomness of text prompts and give creators a predictable, step-by-step framework through our AI directors.

Having a long-time user validate this design evolution is the ultimate reward for our product team.

Thanks a lot for the continuous support over the years! So glad to have you back.

Skipping the prompting loop is the right problem - most people quit AI video after 20 failed attempts. What does the agent use as input? A script, reference video, or topic? Curious how much creative direction it still needs from the user.

You absolutely understand the user psychological barrier! The '20 failed attempts before quitting' is exactly the pain point that kept us up at night. 😭

To answer your question:

we built the workflow to adapt completely to your style of creative direction. You can be as hands-off or as hands-on as you want, using pure natural language:

  • The 'Hands-Off' Mode: You can literally just give it a loose topic or a vibe (e.g., "Make a comedy sketch about a cat trying to code"). Our agent swarm will jump in, brainstorm the script, set up the scene environments, and handle the heavy lifting for you from scratch.

  • The 'Director' Mode: If you have a specific vision, you can feed it a full script, upload reference images for your characters, scenes, or props.

And you actually anticipated our roadmap perfectly with the mention of reference videos!

While we currently focus on text and image-based assets to anchor the continuous narrative, supporting reference videos for advanced motion and camera guidance is officially coming next. Stay tuned for that! 😉

The best part? You don't have to get it perfect on the first try. Because our system supports continuous natural language dialogue, you can just chat with the AI director to iterate, tweak, and refine any specific stage of the production pipeline on the fly. Go grab the 1-month free Plus code on our page and see how it feels. You control the narrative, we handle the execution! 🎬

Congrats on your second launch!! Happy to see this quality.

@thamibenjelloun 

Thank you so much! Thrilled to hear that you noticed the quality upgrade.

We really pushed our engineering limits to deliver consistent 1080P narrative videos this time. Can't wait for you to experience our swarm of AI directors.

Let us know what you think!

It would be cool if it generated a bunch of images before you started about the video and you can choose the ones that you want the video to look like A bit like grok imagine but better

@matthias_bettin 

Hey there! As the Product Manager for Vivago, reading your comment put a huge smile on my face. You’ve basically predicted our next major feature roadmap! 🔮

You are 100% right! The traditional 'one-click blind box' video generation leaves too much to chance. That’s why we built Step 3 (Preview Keyframes) into our current workflow.

But we want to take it even further. We are currently dogfooding an upcoming feature internally called 'Plan Mode'.

In this mode, you will get a dedicated creative sandbox before the video generation even begins. You can freely prompt, generate a bunch of diverse images, pick your absolute favorites, and use them to lock in the visual style. The Video Agent then takes those exact selected images and animates them into a continuous up to 3 minutes story.

It’s going to be exactly that 'Grok Imagine but better' experience with full creative control. We are pushing hard to ship this in our next big release.

Can't wait to hear what you think when it's live!

@zijian Wow😂 I’m exited

Can I make a reusable story?

Siying (Maria) Bai

@daxesh_italiya 

That's a fantastic question, and you're thinking exactly where the future of AI storytelling is headed!

Right now, you can achieve this 'reusability' by leveraging Vivago's ability to lock in and save your core character references and environmental assets. This allows you to bring the same characters and style into entirely new scene prompts for sequential content.

As for saving and evolving a fully-structured 'story template' or episodic universe as a whole template, that's a brilliant feature concept we are actively evaluating for our long-term product roadmap.

We'd love to hear how you envision using a reusable story structure for your workflow! 🎬

@madalina_barbu Thanks a lot! 🔥 Appreciate the support!

Congrats on the launch, team! As a social media strategist, the biggest bottleneck in video production is always maintaining visual consistency across scenes especially when trying to tell a unified story. Out of curiosity, how does the agent handle custom brand guidelines or strict color palettes during that initial character invention phase?

@yashika_vahi 

Thank you so much! As a social media strategist, you’ve pointed out the absolute holy grail of commercial video production. 🎬🎯

To answer your question: Vivago handles brand guidelines and color palettes through our Structured Creative Process. During the initial 'Share Assets' and 'Character Invention' phases, you aren't just giving the agent a prompt, you are establishing a Visual Anchor.

Our Swarm of AI Directors locks in these brand assets, character sheets, and specific hex codes before the narrative generation begins. The agents then collaborate to map out the storyboards based on those exact parameters, ensuring that the color palette and character features stay completely on-brand across all scenes.

Think of it as passing a strict brand book to a human production team - our agents review and enforce it at every keyframe. We'd love for you to stress-test this with your own brand guidelines and let us know how it holds up. 😁

Jim Jeffers

The storyboard/keyframe approval flow feels like the right place to build trust before the expensive render.

One thing I’d be curious about: can a team keep a reusable story/brand bible across videos — character rules, proof points, rejected styles, pacing examples — and have the director show which assets or notes guided a scene? For marketing videos, “on-brand” gets much stronger when it’s not just visual consistency, but visible creative memory.

@jim_jeffers 

You are reading our minds! What you just described is exactly what our engineering and product teams are actively dogfooding behind the scenes.

We are currently internal testing an independent memory system designed precisely for this. Right now, it operates similarly to a dynamic design.md config file - a centralized source of truth that absorbs, remembers, and syncs your latest brand sense and visual philosophy across projects.

Looking ahead on our roadmap, we will be opening up this memory system to give teams direct editing power. You'll be able to micro-adjust the AI's internal 'Brand Bible' on the fly to ensure absolute, unbreakable brand consistency.

You've perfectly articulated the core problem we want to solve for enterprise teams. Stay tuned, because this 'creative memory' is coming to life very soon! 🎉

Jim Jeffers
💡 Bright idea

@zijian That design.md-style source of truth is exactly the right mental model. The bit I’d pressure-test with teams is governance: who gets to change global brand memory vs campaign-specific direction, and how do you preserve rejected examples as “do not repeat” guidance without letting the memory get noisy over time?

If you can make edits, scope, and provenance visible, the Brand Bible becomes much more than a prompt preset — it becomes a real creative operating system.

@jim_jeffers 

Wow, you are essentially architecting our Enterprise tier with us right now! 'Creative Operating System' is exactly the North Star we are aiming for. 🛠️

To address your brilliant point on governance and memory clutter, here is how we are designing the workflow for the initial rollout:

1️⃣ The Baseline:

Every project starts with a default, locked design.md file as the global source of truth.

2️⃣ Smart Adaptation & Guardrails:

As the team deep-dives into a campaign, the Video Agent will analyze new inputs and variations. If it detects a recurring pattern or a valuable 'do not repeat' lesson, it won't just blindly inject it into the global memory (which creates that noise you mentioned). Instead, the agent will prompt the team for approval to update the file.

3️⃣ Full Granular Control:

Users will always have the absolute veto power. You can manually edit the code, fork it to create an entirely new design.md for a specific campaign scope, and manage version control.

Your feedback on provenance and scoping is incredibly timely. I am actively incorporating these exact governance layers into the codebase as we speak, pushing hard to get this shipped as soon as possible.

Thank you for this masterclass of a discussion! 🧠
