Headed to #SXSW? I just made a video about some of the beautiful places within a day's drive from Austin. But that's not the point of this post. The fascinating aspect of this video is how I made it. I simply typed this prompt into Wochit's new AI video generation tool: "Top five easy day trips from Austin for visitors to SXSW who want to see more of Texas" And a few minutes later this is what it sent me. No filter, no edits. If I did want to make some edits, that's super easy as well. This new GenAI video generation tool could change everything. Imagine feeding it the top headlines from Creator Hooks, or today's top trending hashtags from TikTok - and then auto posting them to social video platforms (spoiler, it doesn't do tall videos yet). I've tried a lot of GenAI video tools. They are interesting, but not there yet (in their defense, most of them are still in alpha or beta). But Wochit has almost 10 years of auto-generating video based on text input, so it has a big leg up on the competition. When you DO want to edit, the interface is easy to understand, the formats are breezy and attractive, there's loads of source material and everything just looks good. I'll be posting a few more of my favorite videos here over the next few days. But you should try it out yourself at "wochit.ai". After the Bingpocalypse, it's good to see a great and positive use of GenAI. Hats off to Dror Ginzberg and the Wochit team. (disclosure, I was on the Wochit advisory board for a bit, but that was 7 years ago!) Oh, and I'll see you at SXSW! Can't wait! #ai #video #creatoreconomy
