Why AI video startups are failing: moats over model quality
tibo_maker · x · 2026-08-27
An advisor notes that most AI video generation tools dipped in the last 6 months because they chased a "better" model instead of a moat. When everyone uses the same underlying engine (e.g., Seedance), a render engine isn't a business; the only differentiator is knowing what to make. Revid AI embodies this by not just generating videos but writing scripts, publishing, and learning from results to help channels grow.
