Turn screenshots or a recording into clickable walkthroughs, guides, and videos
Ask for a walkthrough directly inside Slack, ChatGPT, or Claude, or from any MCP assistant, then change any step by asking.
Start from screenshots, an existing screen recording, or a Loom link — the Agent writes the steps and callouts.
Publish the same workflow as an interactive walkthrough, a step-by-step guide, or a video with voiceover.
Rewrite steps, adjust callouts, remove noise, and generate multi-language voiceover in 34 languages and 100+ voices.
Turn text, images and references into cinematic AI video
Type a written prompt and Vidu builds a coherent short video, including camera moves, pacing, and lighting described in the text.
Upload a still image or illustration and animate it into motion while preserving the original art style and subjects.
Feed in reference images or clips so the same face, outfit, product, or character stays recognizable across every shot and scene.
Purpose-built handling of anime and 2D styles, from expressive facial close-ups to era-specific illustration looks.
