From idea to finished
chat animation in 90 seconds.

ChatAnimate turns a single sentence or an uploaded screenshot into a polished, platform-ready chat video. No camera. No editor. No actors. Pick the plan that matches how often you publish.

What you can make

Six artifacts you can ship
in the next hour.

Each one is a real format our users ship every week. Pick the one that sounds like your next post the plan that fits is right underneath.

45 secCreator

The viral hook

A dramatic cold open plus a six-message exchange engineered for the first three seconds of a TikTok or Reel. The format that earns the next 30 seconds.

2 minCreator

The testimonial reel

Paste a customer quote, drop in their avatar, export a 1080p chat-style testimonial ready for landing pages, emails and sales decks.

5 minStudio

The onboarding embed

A three-scene welcome sequence that plays inline on your docs site no video player, no autoplay block, no external platform.

20 minStudio

The content calendar

AI writes 12 distinct scripts, batch-renders them overnight, drops 12 finished videos into your scheduler. Wake up to a month of posts.

90 secCreator

The sales DM

A two-character conversation that walks a prospect from objection to booking link. Embeddable in any email, signed-sealed in under two minutes.

3 minStudio

The reaction split-screen

Two conversations side-by-side the original message and the reaction. One export, double the content. Built for comparison and reaction formats.
