The free videos are the bait. The real move is Codex learning to make things.
A coding agent writing a video brief is old news. A coding agent handing you the finished video is not.
@TopviewAIhq plugged that hole, so Codex now calls Topview, pulls TikTok and Amazon data, picks a ready-made video skill and returns a clip you can edit.
Topview subscribers get 10 free MiniMax H3 generations to see it work.

No company has raised money this way, because no company has been built this way.
Ben runs Polsia with zero employees. He says AI agents prepared the data room, briefed investors and handled diligence.
He joined the final calls. $30M at a $250M valuation in 30 days.
Founders used to raise money to build a team. Ben raised money and the team was already running.
Watch how it run:
Polsia's demo was not controlled. It was a real $30M raise with real investors.
Agents ran the process. The founder showed up for the calls that needed a human.
The company stayed at zero employees.
That split feels like the clearest picture yet of the ai native founder.
Hear Ben explain it himself :
Gmail has 1.8 billion users and not one of them can ask it a question. Search returns emails, not answers.
The sidebar does. Came back to 212 unread, asked what the Acme people wanted, got told they were waiting on a price and pointed to the exact message. Zero scrolling.
Twenty one years of search box.
One Chrome extension to skip it.
a 36 year old just became china's first humanoid robotics billionaire.
ten years ago wang xingxing was still in grad school in shanghai. his thesis project was a robot dog he put together for about $3,000. he named it xdog, filmed it walking, and put the clip online.
it spread everywhere. a student had built a legged robot that worked, for less than most people spend on a phone.
after school he landed at dji. he stayed two months. then he left, got $275k from a handful of angel investors, and set up unitree in hangzhou in august 2016. he was 26 years old.
back then everyone wanted to be boston dynamics. big hydraulic machines, huge budgets, amazing videos, nothing you could actually order.
wang went the other direction. electric motors because they're cheap and easy to build. and instead of waiting years for a finished product, he sold the robots as platforms and let researchers and labs figure out what to do with them.
fast forward to this week. unitree went public in shanghai on wednesday and the stock jumped 629% at the open. the company closed day 2 at 687 yuan, around a $40b market cap.
wang holds about 30% of it. at 36 his net worth sits around $12b.
a thesis nobody paid for turned into the biggest humanoid robotics company on earth.
A 36 year old just became China's first humanoid robotics billionaire.
In 2015 he was a grad student in Shanghai building a robot dog for his thesis. It cost him about $3,000 in parts. He called it XDog and posted a video of it online.
The video blew up. Nobody could understand how a student had built something that moved like that for the price of a used laptop.
He graduated, got a job at DJI, and lasted two months. Then he quit, took $275K from a few angel investors, moved to Hangzhou and started Unitree. He was 26.
The whole industry at the time was chasing Boston Dynamics. Hydraulic legs, government contracts, robots that cost more than a house and never went on sale.
He did the opposite.
Cheap electric motors. Sell the robot now, let the buyers figure out what it's for.
That was ten years ago.
On Wednesday Unitree listed on the Shanghai stock exchange. The stock opened up 629%. The company is now worth about $40B and he owns roughly 30% of it.
Wang Xingxing is 36 years old and worth around $12B. China's first humanoid robotics billionaire.
And it all started with a thesis project nobody funded.
