About Hypit
Hypit gives AI agents a way to make editable, repeatable video workflows. You add it with a single npx skills command, hand it a reference video, an idea or an established template, and an agent such as Claude or Codex rebuilds the shots, pacing, captions and effects with your content, editing footage, dialogue, B-roll and captions anchored to words instead of seconds.
The core is open source and free, with bring-your-own-key model access or the Hypit API, and it can be forked, modified and self-hosted. Batch runs of 10, 50 or 100 or more variants are supported, templates cover formats such as podcasts, street interviews, dialogue and video calls, and there is a web app, documentation and TikTok captions resources. The site compares it with Arcads and other platforms.
Developers can get API access, book a demo and star the project on GitHub, and hosted pricing is on a separate page. It suits marketers and developers who want to produce many video variations from one proven format.
