Video Mode
Generate AI videos through a conversational flow. Tell Theo what you want to visualize and it creates a multi-segment video clip.
How It Works
1. Describe your video — tell Theo what you want to visualize. Video mode activates when you switch to it or when your message implies video creation.
2. Choose your preferences — Theo asks about visual style, duration, and aspect ratio before generating.
3. Generation begins — Theo expands your topic into rich visual descriptions and generates each segment. This can take several minutes depending on length.

Clean and informative — great for educational content.

Hand-drawn sketch style that builds up progressively.

What to Expect
Each video segment takes 30–60 seconds to generate. A Short video (~30s) takes about 2–3 minutes total, while a Long video (~2 min) can take up to 12 minutes. You can continue chatting while the video generates in the background.
