Follow along as we build Poko Motion. Shipped updates, planned features, and product notes straight from the team.
Client workspaces are live on Agency. Create extra workspaces from the switcher on web and desktop to keep each client separate, then rename and switch between them. Billing stays on your account. Agency includes up to 25 workspaces.
URL to video is now available in Poko Motion. Paste a website URL and the agent captures the page, reads the real site content and visuals, then builds a motion video without needing a local repo.
Type @ in the Studio chat to reference a past video. The agent reads the referenced composition's index.html and linked CSS/JS to match its design system - layout, palette, typography, and motion. Multiple references are supported per message, and references persist as chips in the chat history. Desktop only.
Pro and Agency users can bring their own model keys, choose Claude Code or Codex, and connect personal Claude or ChatGPT subscriptions. Gemini and Grok/xAI are available as beta paths because tool use, caching, and cost can vary by provider.
Connect your own Model Context Protocol servers in Settings so the video agent can use their tools while building - pull scripts, data, and brand assets from tools like Linear, Notion, GitHub, and your own systems. Remote HTTP and SSE servers are supported, with optional auth headers and per-server enable toggles.
Model routing for OpenRouter, OpenCode-style gateways, Ollama, local models, and fast-moving frontier providers is available through custom routing, so users can test new providers without waiting for every model to be wired individually.
Planned REST API so users and teams can trigger and manage Poko Motion video generation from their own apps, automations, and custom workflows.
Animation maker is in private testing with prompt-only motion projects and bundled HyperFrames animation blueprints. A user-facing template picker for logo reveals, kinetic type, charts, maps, lower thirds, and social graphics is still being built.
Pro and Agency users can connect BYOK voice providers for narration. Cartesia and ElevenLabs keys are supported in Studio voice settings; Starter and trial accounts use the built-in Poko voice path.
Voice cloning is available in Studio voice settings with consent capture and saved custom voices, and media uploads for project assets and footage are now supported so the agent can build with your own images and clips.
Background music and sound-effect controls are now available in Studio settings. The agent can generate workspace-level music beds and sparse SFX cues, then wire them into the video timeline.
Planned community space inside Poko where users can discuss workflows, share videos, ask questions, and learn from other creators.
Planned recording and editing workflow for influencers and YouTubers, with motion overlays, callouts, and AI-assisted edits layered on top of screen or video content.
Planned BYOK support for generation providers like Kie.ai, FAL.AI, and related media APIs for images, video, and other creative assets.
Planned version history for motion projects, so the first cut can be preserved and later edits can branch into new saved versions instead of overwriting the same result.
Planned web-based generation for website, PPT, and PDF to video flows. Desktop will remain the local repo-focused workflow, while non-repo inputs can run from the website.
The desktop app now fetches the signed-in user profile from Clerk and shows account details plus sign out directly in the app sidebar.
Poko Motion now uses Opus 4.8 as the latest video-generation agent. The upgrade improves scene planning, visual density, code quality, and multi-step edits for polished motion videos.
Motion ads now default to a tighter 40-45 second format with higher animation density, stronger hooks, and faster pacing.
Added clearer product walkthrough and motion-ad guidance so users can understand what to upload, what the agent builds, how long videos should be, and how to iterate with chat edits.
Render your motion video directly to your Downloads folder. A live progress bar tracks frame capture and FFmpeg encoding in real time. Once done, reveal the file in Finder with one click.
Replaced the old preview player with an embedded HyperFrames Studio experience inside Poko Motion. Users get a richer timeline-aware preview, better playback controls, export actions, and in-window fullscreen without leaving the app.
Live display of accumulated agent cost, input/output tokens, cache hits, and model usage per project. Resets per project, updates in real time as the agent works.
Hand the agent a .pptx file. It extracts slides, preserves layouts and branding, adds cinematic motion and transitions, and renders a polished video. No manual slide recreation.
Select any PDF - pitch deck, whitepaper, product doc. The agent reads every page, writes narration, and produces animated slides with transitions. Page-by-page extraction with auto-generated scenes.
Switched the AI backbone from OpenAI to Claude (Anthropic). Significantly better code generation quality for video compositions, with thinking-budget controls and BYOK support for users who want to use their own API key.
Massively improved motion density: varied GSAP transitions, staggered reveals, parallax layers, camera-drift effects, and dynamic zoom pulses. Videos now look cinematic instead of slideshow-like.
Point at any project repo - a SaaS codebase, design system, or marketing repo. The agent reads your assets, extracts brand colors and fonts, writes a script, and generates a full motion video locally.
Natural language editing inside the studio. "Make scene 2 zoom slower." "Swap to a dark background." The AI agent edits video files live and the preview updates in real time.
Everything renders on your hardware - no cloud queue, no per-render fees. M-series Macs render a 30-second video in under 60 seconds. Bundled FFmpeg and headless browser, zero external dependencies after first run.
Refactored frontend into smaller focused components, consolidated icons, centralized formatters, extracted shared types. Fixed tool rows stuck in "running" state, markdown table rendering, and agent context retention across turns.
Motion billing tracks token consumption, included AI credits, top-ups, and per-project usage. Every paid plan can spend Poko credits on GPT. Pro and Agency unlock BYOK for AI and voice providers.
