Assistant Launch Film

A friendly launch film for an AI assistant: a mascot says hello, a real chat, phone and desktop, and the tools it works with.

Payments are non-refundable. See our Terms of service.

Makes a 35 to 60 s launch film (MP4) from a set recipe. Warm and playful: a round mascot opens and closes the film, chat and screens prove it works, an orbit of the tools it connects to shows reach, and a morph turns single steps into a whole job done. The recipe sets the scene order, pacing, look and sizes; the person's words, screenshots and logo fill it. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg: no video model, no key and no cost. Use when someone wants an AI assistant, agent or chatbot product needs a friendly launch video, a homepage film or a social launch with a character.

About this skill

You say

Make a launch video for Tidewater's new AI helper, which plans your day and answers in chat, with a friendly character. Our screens and logo are in the folder.

It said back

I made the launch video: launch-film/tidewater-launch-16x9.mp4. It's 1920×1080, 36.9 s long and 2.1 MB, with no sound. I rendered it and confirmed the length and size with ffprobe. I also checked a still from each scene: all the text is readable and nothing overlaps.

Look: plush (soft pastels, round friendly type), using your logo's green #1F6F5C as the accent colour.
