HONGOS - My New Open Source Autonomous AI Video Production Tool

Hongos is my new opensource AI tool that autonomously generates complete videos from a single prompt: Script, Voices, Videos, Edit. From idea to finished video production in minutes

Create ads, stories & viral content in minutes while agencies charge $200K & take 3 months. Hongos opens up an immense, fun creative canvas to play with.

Code: https://github.com/samim23/hongos/
Blog: https://samim.io/studio/work/hongos/ <- Lots of demo videos.

It's usable from the command line or through its easy to use interface.

Behind the scenes, HONGOS orchestrates the latest and greatest AI models (@GoogleDeepMind 's Gemini 2.0 Flash & Veo2, Elevenlabsio Voices, LumaLabsAI 's Ray, Fal for compute) and combines it all smartly.

And you can use images to drive the story and video style. Whether it's a familiar face or a specific setting, HONGOS will incorporate it. Do share your results!

At this rate, AI will soon start its own YouTube channel and TV ad agency and make more money than us.

The Kiko journey has been fascinating. Some scream, "LLMs for kids' education? Horrible!" Others believe in AI for learning but insist on overcomplicated, gamified UIs to claim a "moat" and "educational value." They all forget—LLMs are improving at breakneck speed and can replicate their entire game UX in minutes. True personalized, real-time learning is coming. And no one is truly ready.

Good evening, treepeople. It was a beautiful day in the forest. My daughter and I built shrines for the local fairies and called upon the tree spirits. The negotiations were brief.

I started my first startup at 19 and have built three more since. Through some wins and many failures, I’ve learned just how brutally hard it is to go from 0 to 1.

But the game is changing. AI can now build, clone, and market products in days—handling the entire startup life cycle. What once took countless people can now be done by one. And this shift is only accelerating. Everyone is a coder now. No moat will survive. The traditional startup playbook is being rewritten.

So what comes next? Nobody knows but some signals are clear—these will matter more: community-building, taste-making, performance, and LARPs—all powered by swarms of AI agents running the operations.

Given this shift, what should entrepreneurs focus on right now? Open to ideas!
