Meet Minty: An AI Assistant That Runs an Entire Video Studio From a Chat

Most AI video apps have a chat bolted on that answers questions about the app. Minty is the opposite: she is the way in. Every feature of ReelMint, the studio, the publisher, the bots, the live shows, can be run by telling her what you want in plain words. We build the product, and this is how she works and why we made the sign-in land on her instead of a dashboard.

What talking to her looks like

"Make a 10-second clip of a puppy running through autumn leaves, then post it to my YouTube Shorts at 6 pm." She picks a model, shows the price, asks for approval, generates, and schedules the post. If something is missing, she asks one question with quick answers rather than a form. If you say "use the cheapest model", she does.

The feed shows cards, not walls of text: a tool row for each thing she ran, a question card, a library picker when she needs a file, a job card that updates until the video is done, and an approval card before anything that spends.

The approval card is the point

Nothing in the chat spends credits without a card that says what it will cost and a button that says Approve. That one rule is why we trust her with a credit balance. You can tell her to go ahead with a whole plan, but each spend is still visible, named and priced before it happens.

What she can run

• Text to video, image to video, video to video, anime, talking photos, images, image edits, music, speech, voice cloning.
• Multi-scene films with a consistent cast, written from one line.
• Publishing and scheduling to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and X, with a caption per platform.
• Bots: she can quote a daily bot, say the monthly figure out loud, and save it paused.
• Mint Moments: photos in, a scored film out.
• Mint Live: a character goes live on YouTube or TikTok, hosted in its own voice.
• Tutorials: ask how something works and she plays the one-minute video in the chat.

Characters by name

Type @ and the cast you have built appears. Click a chip and you get the character's looks, the voice attached with a play button, and the rest of the cast to swap in. "Film @Mara reading the weather, in the kitchen look" is a complete instruction.

What she will not do

She does not talk about plans or billing; that lives on the plans page where the numbers are. She does not spend without the card. And she tells you when a model refused a prompt and why, instead of retrying silently.

Why sign-in lands on her

We used to land people on a library or a studio with forty controls. Sign-ups went up and first videos did not. Landing on a chat that opens with "Mint it. Connect. Post it everywhere." and the three steps to do it moved more people to a first finished video than any onboarding tour. A new account can also claim 27 finished creations for free, with no card, and Minty points to them in her first message.

She also exists outside the app: the same studio is an MCP server, so Claude Code and other AI clients can drive it with the same approval rules.
