Knowlify is an AI video studio that turns docs into premium explainer videos. Built for teams that need consistent, high-impact explainers - faster than traditional production, more engaging than standard AI video tools.
the kurzgesagt-style bet is the right call. the uncanny avatar problem has killed more ai video tools than anything else. curious how the pricing evolves - the $150/5min comment is the main objection you'll keep hearing. congrats on the launch ritam.

@ivo_gospodinov Thank you, I really appreciate your input. We chose this approach because, for explainer videos, clarity and consistency are more important than mimicking a human presence on screen.
Regarding pricing, we are focusing on saving time and increasing output. Compared to hiring freelancers or animation studios, our advantage lies in our speed, efficiency, and ability to transform ideas into published videos quickly. As we scale, we expect our pricing to improve further.

@ivo_gospodinov thank you! i completely agree. i don't believe avatars are the way for knowledge sharing and that has been our thesis since day 1.
as for pricing, typical animation studios can charge insane amounts, like $8000 for a 30 sec clip. of course, these are high production, but still a crazy amount.
for now, our pricing reflects the costs on our side and we anticipate it going lower over time!

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
Knowlify
@mcarmonas My personal favorites are some 3d and corporate video styles! However really any sort of animated style works well!
Knowlify
@mcarmonas @ritvik_varada1 ^ definitely agree with Ritvik, he 3D animations are super cool!
What's a Kurzgesagt-style? First time hearing it! What's the reason behind choosing this style? Congrats on the launch, @ritam_rana!

@neilverma Kurzesgat is a very popular Youtuber! He has over 25 million subs and his videos were an inspiration for us when building this product

@neilverma @ritam_rana Thanks so much. By Kurzgesagt-style, we mean the illustrated explainer format popularized by a European educational channel that made complex topics feel simple, visual, and engaging.
We chose that direction because it works especially well for educational and marketing content. It helps simplify dense ideas, keeps the storytelling clear, and makes the output more watchable and easier to scale.
Knowlify
@ritam_rana @neilverma Thank you! "Kurzgesagt" is a YouTube channel that does story-telling based animated videos that have a distinctive artstyle. People love that art style, as do we, so we implemented a version of that into our platform!

@ritam_rana @neilverma He is one of my childhood favorite YouTubers! We wanted to mimic his engaging style of content when making our own videos!

Truly the curse of society's shortening attention span. This feels like a really great idea to deploy for onboarding or explaining complex ideas. Given that AI has limitations when it comes to how much context can be retained, is there a maximize "size" that a PDF should be limited to when it comes to creating these explainer videos?
Knowlify
@lienchueh Thank you and really appreciate the insight! For PDFs, the current maximum size is 50MB or 50 pages for a video!
ok so basically AI creates animations and voiceover and puts them on top of each other? What tech do you use for voiceover?
Knowlify
@davitausberlin Yep! The abstraction layer we've built on top of AI Video Tools is what makes us unique. 11labs is used for the voiceover.
Hi folks, congrats on the launch!
Your tool looks like it could fit nicely into my workflow. I regularly work with quarterly +100 pages data reports.
Does your system support analyzing documents of that size?
Knowlify
@mike_sykulski
hey mike! we'll make sure it works with those types of reports.
how about we hop on a call and figure out how we can help?

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.
