OpenArt, founded in 2022 by two former Google employees, now powers a viral AI craze that transforms wild ideas, such as a shark wearing sneakers or a ballerina with a cappuccino head, into "brainrot" videos with a single click, and the platform already has roughly 6 million monthly active users, TechCrunch reports.
The company's new "one-click story" feature, launched in open beta, lets users turn a single input, whether a sentence, a script, or even a song, into a one-minute video with a complete story arc, for everything from a lighthearted TikTok clip to a serious explainer or YouTube music video, even advertising. TechCrunch says that creators can select from three templates: Character Vlog, Music Video, or Explainer, to build their video story.
