AI video startup Argil has soft-launched what it calls the first AI storytelling studio, compressing a 3-hour production workflow into 10 minutes.
- The founder likens this moment to what coding agents did for software two years ago: one person shipping what used to take a whole team, now for video
- Under the hood it chains many models and tools, handling per-model prompting and character consistency across shots to produce 30 seconds of coherent film
- Users bring a story, create characters and a world, and Argil generates a storyboard and then a film
- The company is focused on animation, currently the best-performing format on social media, with some customers already pulling millions of views and monetizing it
