# AnimaGuru > A fully controllable AI animation studio. Generate images, characters, video, voice, music and sound effects, and let ChatGPT or Claude direct every scene. AI video models give you a different clip every time. In AnimaGuru, every scene, layer and moment on the timeline does exactly what you say — and ChatGPT or Claude can direct it all for you. [Why AnimaGuru?](https://animaguru.com/videos/vid_4a776544b8594db2a898837b17e502e9) is a 78-second film made with AnimaGuru that tells the same story. ## AI video gives you a clip. AnimaGuru gives you control. With a prompt-only video model you're not directing, you're rolling the dice. AnimaGuru puts you back in control, and gives your AI every tool it needs to direct a whole film. - **Ask again, get a different clip.** Ask an AI video model for a scene and you get a clip. Ask again and you get another one. Change one small thing and everything changes. - **Move it. It stays moved.** A fully controllable animation studio: every scene, every layer and every moment on the timeline does exactly what you say. - **Every piece, generated.** Images, animated characters, video clips, narration, music and sound effects, made for the scene they belong in. - **It turns your AI into a flawless director.** ChatGPT or Claude checks every scene, changes it and fine-tunes it until it's perfect, in minutes. With the MCP and CLI, the whole film gets finished without leaving the chat. ### Generated in the studio - Images - Characters & sprites - Video - Music - Voice - Sound effects [Explore the video gallery](https://animaguru.com/videos) ## Your next creation starts with a sentence. 1.

Exports include sprite sheets and animation data for games. - Images and short videos from text or images, including first/last-frame references, clip extension and audio references where the configured model supports them. - Music, speech in a range of voices, and sound effects. - Short animated films: the CLI scaffolds a local video workspace with 31 visual styles that a coding agent fills with generated assets and exports to MP4. The CLI assembles local films with PixiJS for browser playback and HTML5 or MP4 export. AI generation runs asynchronously and spends the connected account’s credits; creating projects, browsing and estimating are free. Use current model profiles, validate the request and review its cost before paid work. - MCP server (Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1): https://animaguru.com/mcp - CLI: `npm install -g @docyrus/animaguru`, then `animaguru auth login` - REST API: https://animaguru.com/api, described by https://animaguru.com/openapi.json - [Developer docs](https://animaguru.com/docs.md), [agent setup](https://animaguru.com/agent-setup.md), [authentication](https://animaguru.com/auth.md) and [llms.txt](https://animaguru.com/llms.txt) ## More - [Create an account](https://animaguru.com/register) - [About AnimaGuru](https://animaguru.com/about.md) - [Support](https://animaguru.com/support.md): hello@animaguru.com - [Privacy policy](https://animaguru.com/privacy-policy.md), [terms of service](https://animaguru.com/terms-of-service.md) and [cookie policy](https://animaguru.com/cookie-policy.md)
