Animate AI: Turn your story or script into an AI animated short

Animate AI turns a story idea or script into a finished animated MP4 — no animation team, no editing skills. Generation runs automatically: submit your story, spend credits, and your video lands in your account in minutes, with optional subtitles. Pick 5, 15, or 30 seconds, exported as vertical 9:16 by default (16:9 and 1:1 too), ready for TikTok, Shorts, and Reels. Pay once for credits that never expire — auto-retry is built in, and you're refunded if a generation fails. Starts at $15.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I kept seeing creators sit on good story ideas because turning a script into an actual animated video meant either learning hard tools or hiring an animation team. So I built Animate AI: you send a story or script, spend a credit, and the video generates automatically — no waiting on anyone. Your finished MP4 shows up in your account in minutes. A few things I cared about: • Fully automated — submit and the video comes back in minutes, not days. • Pay once for credits that never expire, with auto-retry built in and a refund if a generation fails. • Vertical 9:16 by default (16:9 and 1:1 on request), so it drops straight into Shorts, TikTok, and Reels. You can start with a 5-second clip at $15, then go up to 15s and 30s. I'd love your honest feedback on the output quality and what story types you'd throw at it. Happy to answer anything 🙏

The auto-retry plus refund-if-failed thing is honestly such a thoughtful touch, especially for a credit-based setup where you would expect to just eat the cost on a bad render. Really nice execution.

@yamurobancsyyp Thanks Yağmur, really appreciate that. Honestly this came from getting burned myself early on... I'd spend a credit, get a bad render, and just feel kind of ripped off. So auto-retry plus a refund if it fails pretty much had to happen. Glad it stood out to you! If you give it a try, curious what you'd make first :)
