ive tried like 5 of these all-in-one AI video platforms and always end up back at my own script. the problem isnt the "glue work" between tools honestly - thats like 20 lines of python. the problem is when the platform abstracts over the model APIs so much that you cant access new params when kling or whoever ships an update. how quickly do yall expose new model features when providers update? thats the make or break thing IMO

We access models through Fal (https://fal.ai). We offered day 0 support for Kling 3.0 and launch models on our platform the day they are live.

Would be curious to see your script.

nice, fal is solid. whats the pricing like compared to calling the model APIs directly?

lots of people are asking for my script so i'm open sourcing it fairly soon (openslop.ai if you want to get notified). currently integrating with runware, elevenlabs, cartesia, kling, runwayML but will look into integrating with fal too. would you be open to connecting to helping with integration with fal?

Yes, email me at rajit@prismvideos.com, and I can connect you. Their pricing page is here https://fal.ai/pricing.
I've had that problem with my free Chrome extension: (bring your own fal.ai key)

To be honest it doesn't take long to add a new model/params. It's evaluating the models to see if they're even worth including that takes the most time.

This is a great point. It is challenging to know which models are good at what.

We've found that Seedance is good at photorealitic faces, Kling is fantastic at generating audio (highest quality model in terms of syncing character's face to the words they say imo), and Sora is great at UGC.
