Toucan AI - Product screenshot

Overview

Toucan AI is an AI video generator designed to convert text prompts into video drafts and storyboards rapidly. It simplifies the initial stages of video production by allowing users to describe their desired video in plain language, then automatically generating a structured storyboard.

The workflow involves four key steps: writing a detailed prompt, setting the video's format and style (including aspect ratio, duration, and visual presets like Cinematic or Social), generating the video draft, and finally reviewing and exporting the output. Toucan AI produces storyboards with shot descriptions, timecodes, and camera notes, which can be exported as structured JSON for integration into existing editing or rendering pipelines. While the demo provides storyboard previews without registration, real video rendering requires configuration with an APIMart API key, targeting creators, marketers, and founders seeking fast iteration and format flexibility.

  • Customizable aspect ratios (16:9, 9:16, 1:1)

  • Pre-built style presets (Cinematic, Documentary, Social, Minimal)
  • Export-ready storyboards as structured JSON or shot lists
