AI Storyboard vs Shai

AI Storyboard turns written scenes into editable shot plans and visual references in a web workspace. It extracts scene details, camera movement, character actions, and atmosphere from creative descriptions, then lets users adjust angles, movements, character positions, and artistic style. Reference images use the GLM image model, and short video clips can illustrate movement. Projects support search, filters, scene layouts, shot annotations, and JSON export. No account or login is required, and project data remains in browser storage. When generation is requested, prompts and necessary media are sent to the backend and AI provider over HTTPS. The privacy policy says provider retention and model-training practices follow provider terms and policies. The public site uses Google Analytics, and named third parties include Google Fonts, AI image and video generation, and content delivery services. The Free plan costs nothing and covers the core workflow. The maker says projects have no frame limit, though generation depends on service capacity and provider limits.

Shai is an online pre-production tool for film and advertising creatives, from script breakdown and storyboards to AI video generation. Upload a script or creative document to generate a storyboard with AI-made images and production details. Shai can also extract a shot table with timing, cast, locations and other details. Users can upload their own images, edit generated outputs, and adjust the breakdown and planning. A storyboard can become a video animatic where users experiment with actions and camera movements; AI video is for premium users. Shai says it connects with different video-generation models. The free access plan covers the first nine storyboard scenes and includes 200 Shai credits for creating and editing images, with no credit card required. Shot lists can be downloaded as PDF or Excel files. Shai says uploaded material, including storylines, characters and dialogue, is not used to train its models or generate similar narrative content, and its terms say users own content created with the service. The web tool requires no local download, but the terms do not guarantee uninterrupted access.
