🚨 Today, we’re officially launching Hypernatural 1.0: the fastest, smartest AI video generator for storytellers! You can read more about it in our blog post or watch the video version below. To answer any questions: yes, this video was made end-to-end in Hypernatural. https://lnkd.in/e8yNjUA5 So many things in Hypernatural haved changed over the past year or so since Taylor and I started the company, but one thing has remained constant: We built Hypernatural to get you from idea to shareable video FAST. Users can start with anything—an idea, a script, a podcast or an existing video—and Hypernatural will build a custom-styled video with AI-generated clips, narration, GIFs and animated captions in about 2 minutes. Over the past months, we have spent countless hours with our beta users, many of whom are fiction writers and podcasters. If there’s one thing that unites this group of incredibly creative people, it’s that video has largely been an unrealized aspiration for them. Hypernatural gives storytellers — who are mostly not video experts — a way to quickly realize their vision with *their characters* and *their style* in a medium where people are much more likely to pay attention (video!). Along with bringing Hypernatural out of beta, we’re also launching a few huge new features: -AI-generated video, brought to you by Pika. -Unlimited video length. -Style and reuse your characters across scenes. -More credits on all plans and more videos on the free plan! Read more about our features in the blog post. Special thanks to our partners at Pika for their help getting this launch out the door and to Amelia Lin, Ben Relles, Brian Klein, David Kossnick, Jason Toff, John Milinovich, John Zeratsky, Michael Miedermann, Shiva Rajaraman, and Yuhki Yamashita for their input on earlier drafts of the blog post. ALSO: props to Team Hypernatural!!!!!!! cc Taylor Hughes, Joe Stasio and Patrick Lucas

Introducing Rooms 2.0 🚀 When we first launched, we focused primarily on creation. Users quickly created hundreds of thousands of rooms, many of which blew our minds. With 2.0, we focused on improving room discovery. If you create a room, it's more likely to be discovered; and if you're browsing, you can find interesting rooms more easily. You can download it now at rooms.xyz/ios.
