What is CoAnimator?

The agentic animation studio for Mac, Windows and Linux — bring your own Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity or OpenClaw and the agent builds product demos, launch videos, tutorials, motion graphics and 3D scene by scene, rendered on your machine with no credits, ever.

Price: Freemium

  • Agentic video creation: the agent you already use (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, OpenClaw) authors scenes, timeline and narration while the stage hot-reloads
  • Product demos, launch videos, tutorials and explainers that stay editable projects and re-render when the product changes, even from CI
  • Podcast and social edits on real footage by describing the look: titles behind the speaker, spotlights, freeze-frames, captions, voiceover
  • Templates that ship with agent skills, documented effects and finished sample projects
  • 3D animation: low-poly worlds, keyframed cameras, rigged characters, WebGL on your GPU
  • Built-in plugins for TTS voiceover, sound, AI images and YouTube research on your own keys
  • Unlimited local MP4 renders on macOS, Windows and Linux; a headless coa command-line renderer for scripted exports
