AI Powered Video Generation: Create videos from a Text Prompt, URL, or a JSON and automate with API

I had 3 main projects I was working on for the Short Rentals AI market. I built 3 different tools to analyze your Airbnb Listing and provide insights for optimizing it in https://shortrentals.ai, a tool to remove unfair reviews for your listing https://reviewremoval.shortrentals.ai and Direct booking site builder https://sitebuilder.shortrentals.ai.
As a good programmer I started coding everything but on the marketing side I found a big issue, Asking video editors to create and edit video for me costs a fortune, also I want to automate video generations and keep editing and personalizing them for different channels and distributions.
So the idea came to my mind why not having my Video as Code, version them and automate them with API calls.
So I built https://vidbuilder.ai which has an AI agent which you can drop a URL for or explain in a text prompt what video you want and in the background it turns what it finds to a JSON format and pass that to the video generation API to create your video. I also created a UI for editing and a JSON editor to see your video description and edit your video there if you like to play with JSON.
The result was amazing and I'm so excited about this project specially that Im using it for my inhouse needs and I'm creating my videos without being a video editor specialist and not costing me a fortune to create marketing videos.
