Image and video decision
Predis.ai
A technical user can build the core URL→video workflow (script, TTS, FFmpeg composition) within a week, but Predis's proprietary models, large stock/template assets, platform-scale, and integrations are costly or impractical to fully replicate.

No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Turn a product URL or image into a ready-to-post product/ad video (script, voiceover, captions, assembled MP4).
What it still won’t have
- Proprietary generation models and any model-level optimizations the vendor claims
- Large curated stock-media library and built-in template marketplace
- Built-in multi-brand workspaces, team approvals, and analytics dashboard
- Scale and performance guarantees from the vendor's platform
- Deep integrations (many social channels, Shopify/WooCommerce connectors) and competitor-analysis features
What remains hard
- Proprietary models
with our own proprietary AI models and AI agents layered on top.
- Infrastructure at scale

Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal AI product-video service in Node.js (Express) + React that converts a product URL or uploaded image into a short, ready-to-post MP4. In scope: (1) server scraper that extracts product title, price, description, and images; (2) LLM-based script & caption generator (use OpenAI or any LLM API); (3) TTS via a commercial API for voiceover; (4) video composition pipeline using FFmpeg (assemble images/clips, add transitions, overlay captions, mix voiceover and music) and an export endpoint for MP4; (5) simple React UI to paste URL, edit script, preview and download video; (6) error handling, logging, and automated tests for scraping, LLM prompts, TTS, and video export. Out of scope: multi-brand/team workspaces, built-in stock library, scheduler/publishing integrations, analytics dashboard, proprietary model training. Require idempotent jobs, retries for external APIs, and CI tests.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
