Poolday is an AI agent that takes a text prompt and produces a finished video, handling asset selection, editing, animation, and quality checks in a single pass. The San Francisco company is aimed at anyone who ships video regularly, including product marketers, app growth teams, podcast editors, and startup founders who currently juggle a stack of separate editing, motion, and export tools. This launch marks its move from a UGC ad tool for apps and games into a general-purpose video production agent, backed by an $11M raise announced alongside the release.
The product supports brand kits, custom styles, imported motion graphics and Lottie files, voice cloning, AI avatars, translations, beat-synced cuts, and auto-reframing between 16:9 and 9:16. Teams can train Poolday on their brand once and then generate on-brand videos from prompts, screen recordings, founder photos, or existing footage, with reference customers including PostHog, ClickUp, Lovable, Slack, Adikteev, and Stillfront. It is available immediately with no waitlist and offers an API for integrating the agent into custom workflows.
Poolday was founded by Alexei Chemenda (CEO), previously a board member at mobile marketing company Adikteev and a Y Combinator alum, and Oliver Nicolini (CTO), a co-founder of Aula Education. The launch matters now because generative video quality has crossed the threshold where finished, on-brand output can plausibly replace multi-step editing workflows, and Poolday is positioning itself as the orchestration layer that stitches those capabilities into one prompt.

The 'not the humans, the tools' line is doing heavy lifting in that tweet. Bold pivot from the usual 'we love creators' hedging every AI video co posts on launch day.

Cool demo but what does the render queue look like when 400 agencies hit it on a Monday morning? Handling 'the entire video production' is a fulfillment nightmare, not a model problem.

Naive question from someone who edits their own reels: when it 'fixes animations,' does it actually know what I meant or just what looks smooth? Those are very different products.

Curious what net revenue retention looks like when your buyer is a shop that bills hourly for the exact work you're eliminating. Interesting.

That launch video cut had actual rhythm, which is a nice flex when your pitch is 'we make video production.' Would've been embarrassing to ship this with a jump cut in the first 8 seconds.

Per-minute pricing or seat-based? Because if it's seats you're leaving money on the table, and if it's usage your gross margin lives and dies by inference costs.

Kerning on the 'Media Superintelligence' lockup is tight in a good way but the gradient on the site hero fights the type. Fix the contrast and the whole thing sings.
