Bring your presentations, lessons, and stories to life with Animant — the immersive presentation app that goes beyond the slideshow. Combine audio, video, PDFs, and interactive 3D models into time-synced experiences that engage, explain, and inspire.
Hi Product Hunt 👋,
I’m thrilled to announce Animant 2.0 - an app that let's anyone create immersive, interactive 3D presentations.
Traditional slideshows tend to be boring, as they solely consist of text and images. On average, people tend to engage with content better if they can interact with it in realtime. That's the motivation behind Animant - the app combines your existing PDFs, audio, and video clips with 3D models that your audience can spin around and manipulate as you explain it.
To get started, simply select your existing media. Animant's AI (Magic Chapter) analyses your media and creates key chapters based on major topics and concepts discussed. Magic Chapter also intelligently trims and arranges your audio and video clips to match each chapter, and it suggests the best places to import 3D models.
Animant is designed for everyone - even if you don't have experience making 3D models. With the built-in 3D Scan feature, you can use your pro iPhone or iPad camera system to construct a detailed 3D model of any physical object with photogrammetry. When your model is ready, simply add it alongside your chapter's text.
Animant's AI goes even further with Magic Effects. Once you've added your 3D model to a chapter with audio or video, Magic Effects analyses your spoken transcript to add 3D emphasis effects that are time-synced to your discussion. So when you talk about the "right atrium of the heart", your model instantly rotates as you speak.
There's plenty of new features in the coming months, such as the ability to view and share Animant stories directly in your web browser, and to restrict access to stories just so they can be viewed by your team.
Check out a live demo of these features with Animant's Guides, available from the Story Gallery once you install the app. Some features (such as audio and video support for Magic Chapter and Effects) require iOS or macOS 26, and some features require an account.
Thanks for your support, please let me know your thoughts below!
The AI-powered chapter generation approach makes sense for streamlining presentation creation. We've seen similar challenges with our influencer marketing decks - manually organizing content across different media types is time-consuming.
How does Magic Effects handle complex technical terminology during transcript analysis? In our experience working with 120M+ creator profiles, AI sometimes struggles with industry-specific language that's crucial for accurate timing synchronization.
Would definitely test this with our quarterly business reviews.
Great work with Animant — I love the idea of turning boring slides into engaging stories with 3D and audio. For someone who’s used to Keynote, how steep is the learning curve? Will I be able to put together a presentation without spending hours figuring things out?
this is so clever—syncing audio, video, and even 3D models in one presentation..... I always struggle making lessons feel alive, so this could actually make teaching fun again! How smooth is it to add interactive elements?
looks great but what stops you from doing it in android? Is it the 3d model part or performance?
I love how it isn't just another slideshow tool. Mixing audio, video, PDFs and 3D models into one synced experience feels great for teaching, storytelling and creating unforgettable presentations.
Love the direction of turning static slides into dynamic, immersive AI-powered stories with 3D sync, Super slick!
Congrats! How do you plan to make Animant’s workflow and feature organization more intuitive for users who already have experience with established 3D or presentation tools, given the current feedback that it feels less clear and familiar than industry standards?
