Today, we're launching @knowlifyai Studio, allowing you to create any video you desire.

When we first started Knowlify, we were looking for a tool to convert our textbooks into videos.

Our AI tool has come a long way from this, but after working with a couple of organizations, we realized that sometimes you’ll need a high production video that’s on-brand. Not some generic AI video.

Knowlify Studio bridges that gap and allows companies to send us all of their project specs and received a finalized video in 2 days, far faster than your traditional video agency.

If you’re looking to create ANY type of video in ANY style, we can make it. Visit our site and get a consultation now

P.S. this video was made with Knowlify Studio

Watch this video made by our new @knowlifyai engine.

The prompt was "Explain how an enterprise data warehouse and ETL pipeline works at a systems level."

No edits were performed on this video.

If you're curious what your material or docs would look like as a video, book a meeting with us and we'll have our engine produce a video right in front of you (link in bio)

@ritv3999 thank you

Cool.

If you’ve ever tried creating explainer videos or working with an animation studio, you know it’s generally a painful experience.

Primarily because of the amount of friction involved to get your desired result.

People usually fall into 1 of the 2 categories:
- They don’t make explainer videos at all
- Or they suffer through slow, manual tools or expensive studios

^ because the existing options are painful:
- Traditional explainer video tools are slow, manual, and heavily templated
- Animation studios are expensive, slow, and require endless back-and-forth
- Even when you get a video, it’s often outdated the moment your product/service changes

Obviously, none of that is ideal and you don’t want that.

We realized this was a huge issue for companies, thus our micro-pivot into creating quality explainer videos for companies in minutes with @knowlifyai .

You might be wondering, “Okay so how do people currently use @knowlifyai ?”

Great question.

Through the small private-beta we’ve been running, these are the 2 main use-cases:
1. Customer literacy
- Ensuring your clients and customers actually understand your product/service (what it does, how it works, how to use it, general information around it, etc.)
2. Turning technical documentation into easy-to-understand explainer videos
- SOPs, onboarding docs, APIs, internal tools: all converted into clear, concise explainer videos that people can actually follow.

Creating explainer videos shouldn’t feel like a chore.

It should be seamless (and honestly fun because you’re excited to see how the video turns out.)

Our goal is simple:
Make it effortless to create the explainer videos you wish you had, and make sure they deliver real ROI for your company or team.

We’ve been relatively quiet while building, but we’re releasing our new software in March.

We raised $500M at an $11B valuation to transform how people interact with technology.

[Knowlify (YC S25) @knowlifyai]

We went from an idea in a dorm room → moving to SF → getting into @ycombinator → generating 223K+ videos → ending 2025 with our company on billboards in NYC Times Square.

Seeing our billboard gave me a huge reflection moment about how far we had come that past year and a sense of pride.

Simultaneously in that moment, however, I realized our bar for achievement and growth had been completely reset.

Normally I wouldn’t share milestones like this, but I believe publicly stating milestones creates expectations and a standard that must be held for the product, team, and for what comes next.

We’ve intentionally been radio-silent the past few months because we’ve been heads-down building new video engines & software that we’re genuinely excited to release. Our new focus for Knowlify is explainer videos for companies, so we wanted to ensure that we’re building something that delivers a true ROI and that we can stand proudly behind.

Back to work.
