Golpo AI

Description

Golpo AI is an AI whiteboard animation maker that turns a prompt, script, or document into a polished, narrated explainer video in minutes, with no design skills required. Users describe what they want or upload a document, and Golpo generates a whiteboard-style animated video complete with on-screen text, equations, and citations rendered with correct spelling and formatting.

The platform offers more than 10 video styles, videos up to 10 minutes long, vertical video, and the ability to insert your own images and videos, which Golpo strategically places within the output. Advanced features include voice and video instructions, an in-built screen recorder that ingests audio and understands screen flow to place recordings inside the explainer, an Own Narration mode for uploading your own audio or video for time-aligned animation, and audio-only podcast output that uses a fraction of the credits.

Golpo supports native-quality voiceovers in 45+ languages, including Spanish, French, German, Hindi, and Arabic, making it suited to schools and global companies that need localized training at scale. Editing is done with natural language, frame by frame, or component by component. A REST API with Node and Python SDKs, webhooks, and an MCP server lets developers generate videos programmatically or from tools like Cursor, Claude, and VS Code.

Built by Stanford AI researchers and backed by Y Combinator, Golpo uses a credit system where 1 credit equals 1 minute of video, with unused credits carrying over on active subscriptions. It offers a free tier (one watermarked 1-minute video), subscription plans, pay-as-you-go credits, and an API-only tier.
