Give it one photo and a script (or your own audio), and it generates coherent, minutes-long talking videos β same face frame-to-frame, accurate lip-sync, natural gestures, in 30+ languages. You can also:
build a custom avatar of yourself from a ~15s video,
pick from 100+ ready-made AI actors,
or hand the whole thing to a Video Agent that writes the script, adds b-roll/subtitles, and casts an avatar β all edited by chat.

Hey Product Hunt π
We're the team behind OpenCV (the open-source computer-vision library). For the past two years, weβve watched AI video get sharper but stay short β Seedance 2.0 tops out around 15s, most models do <10s, and the moment a clip runs long the face drifts and the illusion breaks.
