MoneyPrinterTurbo
MoneyPrinterTurbo takes a topic or keywords and produces a finished short video. An LLM writes the script, footage comes from Pexels, Pixabay, Coverr, local files or text-to-video APIs, and TTS, subtitles and background music are added before the final render. It offers a WebUI, HTTP API, CLI and an agent skill, and outputs 9:16, 16:9 or 1:1.

toonflow-app
Toonflow is a Vue/TypeScript app on Bun where scripts, storyboards, character and scene assets, and generated video clips live as nodes on one infinite canvas. Text, image and video generation go through third-party APIs or a local ComfyUI/LLM, and it can be extended with MCP, an agent/A2A interface and a plugin market. It ships as desktop clients, an Android ARM64 APK, Docker and a Linux server install.
