We just released AI Video Generator: aiVideo — an iOS app by Virtual Minds that lets you create short, cinematic videos directly from text or images using multiple top-tier AI video models under one subscription.
App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/rs/app/ai-video-generator-aivideo/id6...
What it does:
Converts prompts or photos into cinematic, share-ready clips in seconds
Access to multiple generation engines — Sora 2, Veo 3, Wan, Kling, and others
Seamless model switching and comparison in one interface
Exports directly to the Photos app
Under the hood:
Built in React Native + UIKit, optimized for iOS
Prompt routing and model orchestration handled via Firebase Functions
Server-side generation with latency optimization and adaptive credit usage
Designed for creators who want to experiment with multiple models natively, without browser UIs
We built it to test the limits of mobile-first AI generation — from latency, UX flow, to model integration.
Would love feedback on:
Model orchestration strategies — what would you improve?
Whether an open API for developers to run model calls from mobile makes sense
Thoughts on latency vs quality trade-offs for multimodel routing
