🎞 How to Create GIFs and Videos With AI

While many are awaiting the release of OpenAI's video generator, Sora, we recommend trying Pika.

Pika Art is an AI that generates videos from text prompts and images. The startup was founded by Demi Guo and Chenlin Meng, former PhD students in Stanford’s AI Lab. They said it was too time-consuming for them to shoot videos "the old-fashioned way." Demi Guo previously worked as an engineer in Meta's AI department. The startup has been named one of the top 50 most promising AI companies by Forbes and received $55 million in investments. The investors include Quora founder Adam D’Angelo, former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, and Giphy co-founder Alex Chung.
