agent-media

Overview

agent-media is an AI short drama creator that runs inside your AI chat. You connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, or Codex through MCP and give it a one-line premise. It plans the season, casts the characters, and builds the locations. It films a pilot scene for you to approve, then delivers 9:16 episodes up to 60 seconds long with captions and no watermark. It suits creators and brands making serialized drama for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

Key Features

Works Inside Your AI Chat: agent-media connects to Claude, ChatGPT, or Codex as an MCP server. You sign in through browser OAuth, so you don't need API keys or any installs.
Full Season Planning: The AI interviews you about your idea, then writes a story bible and season grid. Seasons run 3, 5, or 10 episodes, or any length from 1 to 20.
Consistent Cast Across Episodes: Each series has two leads and up to six friends or rivals, each with a face, full body, and turnaround. Visual locks keep each lead's age, hair, and wardrobe the same from episode to episode.
Up to Eight Locations: You get 2 to 8 indoor or outdoor settings per series, so the story world stays recognizable.
Approval Before Filming: You approve the script, cast, and per-episode price first, then a pilot scene. Nothing gets filmed until you sign off, which protects your seconds.
Detailed, Editable Scripts: Scripts show every scene, shot, line, delivery note, and timing. You can ask for rewrites in your chat until an episode is queued.
Platform-Ready Output: Episodes come as vertical 9:16 video at 480p or 720p, 15 to 60 seconds long (30 by default). Each one includes captions and a score, with no watermark.
Genre Templates: You can start from templates for revenge drama, CEO romance, K-drama, workplace sitcom, and mystery, in a micro drama or sitcom format at PG or PG-13.

Pros

No New Interface to Learn: You direct the whole production from the AI assistant you already use, and the setup needs no API keys.
Built for Serialized Stories: Character and location locks address one of the hardest parts of AI video: keeping the same people looking the same across episodes.
Approval Before Production: Review the season plan, cast, pricing, and episode script before filming. Approve the pilot scene before production continues to catch problems early and avoid wasting video seconds.
Ready-to-Post Video Files: Get vertical 9:16 episodes with captions, a music score, and no watermark. The format suits TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Flexible Use of Seconds: You can split your monthly seconds however you like across episode lengths and series.
Low-Risk First Month: You get a full refund of your first payment within 7 days if you haven't filmed an episode yet.

Cons

No Free Trial: Plans start at $49/month and you pay at signup. You can watch sample episodes free, but you can't test generation without a paid plan.
Resolution Caps at 720p: Output is 480p or 720p, and 720p uses your seconds twice as fast. Creators who need 1080p or higher for ads or other placements will need another tool.
Narrow Creative Scope: The product focuses on vertical short dramas with fictional adult leads, a cast of up to 8 characters, 8 locations, PG to PG-13 content, and episodes up to 60 seconds. It isn't a general-purpose video generator.
API and CLI Limited to Enterprise: The standard plans work only through Claude, ChatGPT, or Codex. A CLI and REST API come only with the custom Enterprise tier, which matters if you want to automate production.
Limited Post-Production Controls: Your main lever is editing scripts before filming. The official pages describe no timeline or video editing tools, and changes after filming starts become new episodes.

Use Cases

Launching a TikTok Drama Channel: A solo creator types a revenge premise into Claude and approves the cast and pilot. A 10-episode, 30-second series at 480p fits within the $49 plan, giving the channel a steady posting schedule.
Branded Serialized Content: A consumer brand on the $499 plan runs up to 12 series a month, such as a workplace sitcom built around its audience. The recurring cast gives viewers a reason to follow from post to post.
Testing Story Concepts: A writer runs several premises through the pilot-scene approval to see which hook works on screen. This lets them try ideas before committing seconds to a full season.
Genre Experiments for Reels and Shorts: A creator starts from the K-drama or CEO romance template to try a popular micro-drama format. They can do this without hiring actors or booking locations.
High-Volume Studio Production: A studio or agency on Enterprise uses the CLI and REST API to plug episode generation into its own pipeline. The plan includes 18,000 seconds a month at 480p.
