This example shows how to create an AI agent that generates videos using ModelsLabs. You can use this agent to create various types of short videos, from animated scenes to creative visual stories.

Example prompts to try:

  • “Create a serene video of waves crashing on a beach at sunset”
  • “Generate a magical video of butterflies flying in a enchanted forest”
  • “Create a timelapse of a blooming flower in a garden”
  • “Generate a video of northern lights dancing in the night sky”
