Reelipal turns written briefs into app and product explainer videos, images, and podcast-style content using AI-generated shots, voice, and captions. Its planner lays out a shot list, models render each shot, and voice, captions, and ambient audio are added over the cut. Users can rewrite individual shots, change models or voices, or restart from the original prompt. Briefs can be rendered in 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 formats, using text or references such as screen recordings, product photos, or a founder headshot. Reelipal says most renders take two to six minutes; longer multi-scene videos and lip-synced podcasts wait in a background queue. It shows the credit cost before generation, varying by model, resolution, and duration, and automatically refunds failed renders. The free plan starts with 100 credits; paid plans start at $9 a month. Paid plans allow commercial use of generated videos, and connected accounts can publish chosen videos to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Reelipal says it does not sell personal data or train its own models on prompts or generated content.
