AI prompt-to-storyboard videos w/ GPT, Coqui voices, StabilityAI images
I had 2 weeks off from work and wanted a pet project before heading back. With GPT and Generative AI in the news, I decided to chain multiple Al products together to build something really cool. I set my end goal to be: prompt-to-storyboard (aka fun videos generated purely via generative AI). There exists some prompt-to-video products, but I wanted to tell stories with audio as well. The end product takes an initial prompt and produces a series of images and audio files, which I then combine (with subtitles) into the final video. To showcase videos, there is a basic upvote/downvote…
In plain words
This tool converts text prompts into complete storyboard videos by chaining multiple AI services together. It uses GPT to generate storylines and scene descriptions, Coqui for voice narration, and Stability AI for image generation, then combines these elements with subtitles into finished videos. The system is designed for users who want to create narrative-driven content through generative AI without manual production work, differentiating itself from existing prompt-to-video tools by incorporating synchronized audio and storytelling.

I had 2 weeks off from work and wanted a pet project before heading back. With GPT and Generative AI in the news, I decided to chain multiple Al products together to build something really cool. I set my end goal to be: prompt-to-storyboard (aka fun videos generated purely via generative AI). There exists some prompt-to-video products, but I wanted to tell stories with audio as well. The end product takes an initial prompt and produces a series of images and audio files, which I then combine (with subtitles) into the final video. To showcase videos, there is a basic upvote/downvote leaderboard. Text | OpenAI https://openai.com/ Text is generated in a few high-level steps that I ask GPT to work through. These are all based on the initial user prompt, as such (ideally) indirectly controlled by the user. - Create a concept for a movie scene based on the prompt, including the theme and setting - Define each character in the scene - Define how each character looks - Define how each character sounds - Define 'frames' of the storyboard All of this textual information is defined in a JSON object I describe to GPT. I then take GPT's output and build the storyboard with the tools below. Voices | Coqui https://coqui.ai/ From the GPT output, I needed three major pieces of information to build voices in a way that I found satisfying: - Description of the voice - Description of the performance - Text of the actual dialog spoken Coqui has a product called 'prompt-to-voice', where you can describe how a character will sound and a custom voice is made for that character - this is how GPT defines the characters to use in the storyboard. As such, every voice is unique per storyboard. GPT will decide that a certain character is an "older man with a raspy voice", and I'll ask Coqui for that type of voice. In addition to this, in order to describe the performance, GPT outputs a basic emotion to summarize the line of dialog (happy, sad, angry, etc) - this is also sent to Coqui per audio clip generated. Images | Stability AI https://stability.ai/ While I originally setup the storyboard generator to use DALL-E due to already integrating with OpenAl for GPI, I found the cost prohibitive. As such, the images generated for the storyboards are from Stability Al's Stable Diffusion (stable-diffusion-512-v2-1). I combine the description of the frame that GPT provides, in addition to the theme and setting that GPT output for the whole storyboard, to generate each frame. Since GPT controls the data sent to Stable Diffusion with the description of the frame as well as the theme and setting, if your prompt dictates a theme it should hopefully translate into a theme in your storyboard. Both the storyboard and the 'prompt enhanced' image generation in the 'Create Content' tab pre-feed a GPT request with a summary of Stability Al's prompt guide. It will try and pick keyword weights to improve the image, and much like the setting and theme, keywords should be influenced by the initial prompt provided to the product. Conclusion: Have fun and make my 2 weeks of work seem worth it! Voting on storyboards and creating storyboards both require a simple Google login to get access.

Hey HN! I’m Zach one of the co-founders of Adam (https://www.adamcad.com). We're building AI-powered tools for CAD and 3D modeling [1]. We’ve recently been exploring a new way to bring GPT-style image editing directly into 3D model generation and are excited to showcase this in our web-app today. We’re calling it creative mode and are intrigued by the fun use cases this could create by making 3D generation more conversational! For example you can put a prompt in such as “an elephant” then follow it up by “have it ride a skateboard” and it preserves the context, identity and…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

Hi HN, Today we’re launching GPT-4 answers on Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses generative AI to browse the web and answer technical questions, complete with code examples and detailed explanations. Unlike vanilla GPT-4, Phind feeds in relevant websites and technical documentation, reducing the model’s hallucination and keeping it up-to-date. To use it, simply enable the “Expert” toggle before doing a search. GPT-4 is making a night-and-day difference in terms of answer quality. For a question like “How can I RLHF a LLaMa model”, Phind in Expert mode delivers a…
