Pika Labs has launched an invite-only 'Pika Social AI Video' app for iOS, which creates short AI videos from selfies. The new audio-driven model can generate HD videos and hyper-real expressions in 6 seconds.
Pika Labs: Has launched a new social AI video app on the iOS platform, allowing users to create their own AI-generated short videos using selfies. This new app is named 'Pika Social AI Video'. The company has also introduced a state-of-the-art video generation AI model, specifically capable of audio-driven video creation. Currently, this app is only available to a limited number of users through an invite code, but Pika Labs plans to release it widely soon.
Pika Social AI Video: Create Short AI Videos from Selfies
The new app is named 'Pika Social AI Video'. It allows users to create creative, AI-generated short videos from just a selfie. The AI model integrated into the platform processes the photo to produce high-quality videos in various visual styles.
After the video is created, it can be shared on the app's social feed, allowing other users to view and interact with it. This feature establishes the app not only as a video creation tool but also as a social network.
Invite-Only Access and Waitlist
Pika Labs has not yet released this app publicly. To use it, users will need an invite code. The company granted platform access to a limited number of users last month and also opened a waitlist where interested individuals can register. The company has also stated that an Android version will be launched soon, further expanding the app's reach.
Customization Tools and Text Prompt Support
The Pika Social AI Video app offers several customization tools that allow users to add new elements to their videos or change existing visuals. You can even prepare the video according to your liking by giving text prompts.
An interesting feature is that users can choose the setup of someone else's shared video and create their own new video on the same theme. This promotes idea sharing and cross-inspiration among creators.
Audio-Driven Video Generation Model
The new model was announced on Pika Labs' official X (formerly Twitter) account. The company claims that this model not only generates video visuals but can also generate original audio.
Most notably, this model can produce HD videos of any style and any length in just 6 seconds. In addition, it is capable of creating 'hyper-real expressions,' which make the video more natural and emotional.
New Opportunity for Creators and Marketers
The biggest benefit of this new technology will be for content creators, digital marketers, and social media influencers. Now they will be able to produce high-quality content quickly, at low cost, and without advanced video editing skills.
This technology can be useful in the following areas:
- Social Media Content Creation
- Brand Promotion and Advertising
- Virtual Influencers and VTubers
- Educational and Interactive Videos
It is not yet clear whether this audio-driven video generation feature will be free or will require a subscription fee. The company has not made any official statement about this, nor has it revealed the feature's launch timeline.
