Coveo AI
Every idea already has a shape.Coveo finds it.
Write one sentence about the video you need. What comes back is a real cut — scripted, storyboarded, voiced, captioned and rendered — in the shape and the language you asked for.
Fifty credits come with the account, and nothing is counting down behind you.

A brief that works reads like this
What Coveo does with that sentence
Eight passes, set out in order. Each happens on its own, and each will wait as long as you like if you want to interrupt it.
- 01
Brief
We read your sentence the way an editor reads a pitch: who it is for, what it must land, how long it has.
- 02
Script
Narration composed at the length you named, so the last line arrives on time instead of being cut to fit.
- 03
Storyboard
The prose divides into scenes, and each one keeps a sentence to say and a picture to say it over.
- 04
Visuals
A frame imagined for that scene alone, never borrowed from a library of somebody else’s footage.
- 05
Voice
Somebody reads it aloud, in your language, at the pace the writing implies.
- 06
Captions
Lettering measured against the recording, so the words on the screen and the words in the ear agree.
- 07
Render
Picture, motion, sound and lettering are laid down together and become one file.
- 08
Export
A signed link, and the work is yours: commercially, permanently, with nothing held over it.
The draft is the beginning of the argument
01
Rewrite one line, keep the rest
Every scene regenerates on its own. Correct the clumsy third sentence and the other seven shots stay precisely as they were, so one wrong word never costs you the whole piece.
02
Put them in a different order
Move a scene up or down a place at a time, duplicate the one that is working, cut the one that is not, and retime the captions cue by cue. The running order is a list you edit, not a puzzle you fight.
03
Set the look once
Logo, palette and type are settled once on the project, and everything published afterwards observes them without being asked twice — whichever of the six languages and four shapes you happen to be working in.
“I describe the video the way I would describe it to a freelancer, and I get something back I can actually argue with.”
“The shape matters more than people admit. The same script at 9:16 is a different video, and I no longer have to decide which one is worth commissioning.”
“Credits are plain arithmetic, so I can quote a client before I start. A failed render refunds itself, which I did not expect.”
“Six languages off one project. We stopped booking separate voice sessions for the Greek and Russian cuts.”
Work out what it costs you
Credits are the only currency here. Move the slider to the amount of video you actually make.
8≈ 200 credits
Reckoned at 25 credits for five scenes: ten for the writing and the storyboard, two a scene, five for the render. A longer piece costs you more scenes, not a larger subscription.
Answers, before you ask
- What does one video cost?
- Twenty-five credits, near enough, for five scenes across thirty seconds: ten for the writing and the storyboard, two for each scene’s picture and read, five for the render. Whatever fails is handed back without you having to ask for it.
- Is a subscription part of the arrangement?
- No. Fifty credits arrive with the account, and after that you buy whatever amount suits you. A subscription buys credits in bulk and prices them accordingly, which earns you nothing below a certain volume — so begin without one.
- How much of it can I argue with?
- All of it, and that is rather the point. Nothing is rendered until you call it finished, and until then every scene, every line and every caption cue is open to you.
- Which shapes and languages?
- Four shapes — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 — settled per project. Six languages — English, Greek, Russian, German, French and Spanish — settled per video.
- Does it hold up with more than one of us?
- Make a team, send the invitations by email, and every project inside it belongs to all of you. Nobody is counted and nobody needs a licence of their own.
- Who ends up owning it?
- You do, commercial use included. Coveo takes no licence over a single frame of what you make.
You already know what the video should say.
Write it down. Fifty credits arrive with the account, which is more than one video needs, so finding out costs you nothing at all.
