AI video production studio for teams and agents
Cast a character once so face, body and voice stay locked across every video, and define locations, props and a locked house style that all connected models render from.
The director agent moves a project from brief to storyboard to shot to final edit, asking clarifying questions and producing a full shot list before any footage is generated.
Argil connects several image, video and voice models inside one workspace, so you can switch engines without rebuilding your production setup.
Start projects in the Argil app or drive them from assistants such as Grok, Claude and ChatGPT, which lets agents produce videos on the studio system of record.
