Hey Product Hunt, I'm Ritam, Co-founder of Knowlify!
The Problem:
Most people in 2026 don't read. Instead, they want to watch an engaging video explaining the content. The problem is that there is no scalable way for teams to create high-quality, highly engaging video content.
Most tools in this space follow one of two flawed approaches:
❌ Uncanny AI avatars – They feel robotic, stiff, and instantly disconnect the viewer from the material.
❌ Glorified slideshows – They simply slap text over generic stock footage, completely missing the mark on creativity and engagement.
From day 1, we set out to fix these issues. We built Knowlify with one vision: to make knowledge so engaging that once you click play, you're instantly hooked for the rest of the video.
How Knowlify is Different 🚀:
Knowlify is focused on maximizing content retention—helping your audience learn the most amount of material in the shortest amount of time. Instead of boring slides, we convert text, PDFs, and other docs into engaging, Kurzgesagt-style animated videos.
Beautiful, educational animations – We turn dry text and documents into exciting, animated stories that actually communicate complex information in a fun way.
Custom-trained AI models – We've trained our own planner and voiceover models on proprietary datasets to ensure the pacing, tone, and structure are perfect.
Built for creativity – Most AI tools are terrible at being creative. We've built an agentic system that specifically thrives on creative video production, and it will only get better over time.
Who is this for?
Whether you're a content manager turning blog posts into engaging media, or a creator building instructional content to convey complex information, Knowlify makes it effortless. The possibilities are truly endless.
Here's an example tutorial to understand the website better!

@ritam_rana Congrats on the launch! Just a quick q; for B2B content teams scaling LinkedIn carousels or newsletters to video like turning SEO-optimized posts into hooks, what's one retention hack your custom AI planner uses to keep complex topics punchy under 90 seconds?
Knowlify
Thank you,@swati_paliwal. One of the key retention strategies in our custom AI planner is front-loading the tension. Instead of starting with background information or explanations, it begins with the most compelling insight, pain point, or outcome. From there, we build the narrative.
For complex topics, we usually maintain a tight structure: a hook, an explanation of why it matters, a single sharp example, a key takeaway, and a call to action (CTA). We also break the script down into one idea per section, allowing the viewer to receive clear payoffs rather than being overwhelmed with too much information at once.
In terms of length, the product can generate videos up to 300 seconds long, so it is not limited in that aspect. The real challenge lies not in duration, but in keeping dense topics engaging and easy to follow from start to finish. This approach is especially beneficial for B2B content teams looking to convert SEO posts, newsletters, or LinkedIn carousels into video content.
This solves a real pain point. I've tried turning written content into video with other tools and the results always felt like glorified slideshows. The Kurzgesagt-style animations are a much better approach for retention. How long does it take to generate a 3-5 minute explainer from a document?
Knowlify
@redcat Thanks for commenting! For a typical 1-3 minute explainer it usually takes around ~5 minutes to generate the first version.
You get a step-by-step storyboard view where you can edit the script, visuals, and scenes before the final render. Most people spend a couple extra minutes tweaking the scenes to get it exactly how they want.
Check out Knowlify.com to see an example!

@redcat @ritvik_varada1 ^ to add on, 5 minutes of generation, and just a a few seconds of your time to get it started!
Would it work with a ppt presentation and how well will it be able to tackle something specific where information is not largely available online or publicly?
Knowlify
@viktorgems Thank you for your question! Currently, Knowlify supports PDFs and prompting, and we are actively working on adding PowerPoint (PPT) support for a future update.
The platform works best with clear, text-rich PDFs. If a PDF contains mostly screenshots, diagrams, or is visually dense, the results may not be as effective as those from well-structured source material.
For very niche or highly specific topics, the system performs best when the needed information is present in the source material or is available online in some form. Since the model relies on the context it can access, the clearer and more detailed the input, the better the output will be.
You can also add up to five reference images, plan out your video before generating it, and edit the output afterward to refine it further.
We would love for you to check it out and try creating something at https://create.knowlify.com/login.

@viktorgems @nitish_kumar_jha to add on to what Nitish said, you can save your PowerPoint's as PDFs and upload it to Knowlify that way!

Is Knowlify better at specific video styles or does it adapt well to anything? I find most vertical AI tools are great in some scenarios and in others they suck, if there's a style where Knowlify really shines, worth mentioning!

@mcarmonas hey! animated videos for knowledge-sharing are our strong suit
The product works well, but it’s extremely pricey. My 30-second video used 1,200 credits, and generating a 5-minute YouTube video will cost $150. That’s not reasonable at this rate.
Knowlify
@alsafa_alizada Thanks for the honest feedback. That is completely fair, and we are actively improving pricing as we scale.
Our main focus right now is not just the cost of a single output, but the impact on production time and throughput. For many teams, the value comes from being able to cut video production time by up to 90%, go from idea to output much faster, and create significantly more content without the traditional workflow bottlenecks.
That is the lens we are optimizing around today: time saved, speed to publish, and overall output. As the product scales and infrastructure improves, we expect pricing to come down further over time.
Really appreciate you calling this out. Feedback like this helps us sharpen both the product and the pricing.
