I built my own AI video generator, no dev team, no massive budget.
All I needed was Emergent.ai + Google Veo 3 API.
The workflow?
👉 Drop in your API key
👉 Pick the motion type (camera pan, zoom, dynamic shot)
👉 Generate video
That’s it.
What started as an experiment is now part of my daily toolkit.
I’ve been using it to spin up short product demos faster than recording, editing, or explaining things on slides.
Instead of waiting days for polished videos, I can test multiple demo styles in a few hours.
The bigger picture:
Tools like Emergent are making it real for operators like me to go from “idea → working AI product” without writing production-grade code.
For non-tech founders, this means you don’t have to stall on shipping.
If you have distribution, you can:
- Build a wrapper
- Show a demo
- Collect early signals
And then decide if it’s worth going deeper
