Creatomate, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Creatomate account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Creatomate is

Creatomate is an API for generating and managing automated videos, images, GIFs, and reusable media templates.

You paste in a key from your own Creatomate account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Creatomate whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Creatomate.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in Creatomate. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Creatomate account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

7 tools it already has

What it can do in Creatomate

These are the ready-made tools your AI employee already has in Creatomate. It is not limited to them, but it never has to be taught these.

  • Create RenderStart one asynchronous image, video, or GIF render from either a template or a direct RenderScript. The call consumes render credits and returns the initial status; use Get Render
  • Create TemplateCreate a reusable project template from a RenderScript without starting a render, returning the saved template and any non-fatal warnings.
  • Delete TemplatePermanently delete one project template. Existing renders created from the template are unaffected.
  • Get RenderReturn the current status and available output metadata for one asynchronous render; terminal statuses are succeeded and failed.
  • Get TemplateReturn one project template including its complete RenderScript source.
  • List TemplatesReturn metadata for every template in the connected project, optionally filtered by any of the supplied comma-separated tags; RenderScript source is not included.
  • Update TemplatePartially update a template's name, replacement tag list, or complete replacement RenderScript source; omitted fields remain unchanged.
Access, and who is in charge of it

You stay the boss of your Creatomate account.

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.

How we handle your data
  • It signs in to your own Creatomate account. You are not moving anything into ours.
  • You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
  • Everything it does in Creatomate is written down, with what it did and when.
  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in Creatomate and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

Questions people ask about Creatomate

Can an AI employee really work inside Creatomate?
Yes. It signs in to your own Creatomate account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.
Do I have to move anything out of Creatomate?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in Creatomate, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
How does it get into my Creatomate account?
You paste in a key from your own Creatomate account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Creatomate whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
What can it actually do in Creatomate?
It has 7 ready-made tools in Creatomate today, among them Create Render, Create Template and Delete Template. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use Creatomate and the rest of my software in the same job?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in Creatomate and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
Who decides what it is allowed to do in Creatomate?
You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in Creatomate is written down with what it did and when.
