Write Your Prompt
Start with a short description of your story idea. Keep it simple — a sentence or two is all you need.
A little fox in an enchanted forest hoards acorns until a hungry squirrel family teaches him the joy of sharing.
AI Optimization
Our AI expands and optimizes your prompt — adding scene structure, narration flow, and visual direction for the best results.
Scene 1: A copper-furred fox darts between mossy oaks, stuffing golden acorns into his burrow. Scene 2: A tiny grey squirrel knocks on his door, eyes wide with hunger...
Video Generation
AI generates narrated video scenes with visuals, voiceover, and sound for each part of your story.
"Deep in the enchanted forest, Felix the fox had a secret — a burrow overflowing with golden acorns he refused to share with anyone..."
