AIrkaiz Inc. (Location: Kiyosu City, Aichi Prefecture, Representatives: Kaito Kobayashi, Kaito Sasaki, hereinafter "AIrkaiz") has officially released "StoryBuilder," an AI tool designed to streamline storyboard creation for video production, advertising production, and proposal document creation.

StoryBuilder is a real-time storyboard generation tool that automatically organizes the necessary shot divisions for video simply by inputting text such as service information, product information, target audience, appeal points, and structural plans. It generates shot numbers, screen images, content, dialogue/narration, direction notes, and duration for each shot.

With this official release, StoryBuilder is now available for use by individuals and corporations, starting from a single user.

It can be utilized not only by video production companies, advertising agencies, and marketing/creative departments of businesses, but also by a wide range of individuals involved in video production and planning, including freelance video creators, individual creators, small teams, and sales, recruitment, and public relations personnel.

Furthermore, we will continue to recruit a limited number of 30 initial partner companies for corporations to jointly improve StoryBuilder based on feedback from actual production sites.

What is StoryBuilder?

StoryBuilder is an AI tool that generates storyboards in real-time simply by inputting text such as service or product information, target audience, appeal points, and structural plans.

Based on the input, it automatically organizes the following information for each shot:

- Shot number

- Screen image

- Content

- Dialogue/Narration

- Direction notes

- Duration

This allows for the generation, review, and modification of storyboards, which were traditionally created manually by production staff, in a shorter amount of time.

StoryBuilder is not just an image generation tool.

It is an AI tool for the pre-production stage that supports the entire process of "thinking about the structure," "dividing into shots," "creating visual images," "organizing direction," and "sharing with stakeholders" in video production.

Storyboard Creation Available from 1 User, Regardless of Corporation or Individual

In the fields of video and advertising production, even after the direction of a project is decided, a significant amount of time is spent on subsequent processes such as "structuring," "shot division," "storyboard creation," "sharing direction," "client review," and "revisions."

For example, requests like:

"I want to showcase this product in a 15-second video."

"I want the target audience to be women in their 20s."

"I want to emphasize the problem-solving aspect at the beginning."

"I want a tempo suitable for social media ads."

"I want to share the finished concept with clients and internal team members."

require production staff to organize the structure, divide it into shots, and manually create the images, content, narration, dialogue, and directorial intent for each shot.

While the use of video is increasing in various scenarios such as video ads, short social media videos, service introduction videos, recruitment videos, internal manual videos, training videos, and sales materials, many pre-production processes still rely on manual labor and back-and-forth confirmation.

StoryBuilder was developed to resolve this initial bottleneck in production, where "there's a plan, but it gets stuck at the storyboard stage."

With this official release, StoryBuilder can now be utilized not only for team or corporate introductions but also by individual users.

It supports various usage scenarios, including team adoption by production and advertising companies, individual use by business department staff, rough draft creation by freelance video creators before client proposals, and organization of video concepts by individual creators.

Production Flow Supported by StoryBuilder

StoryBuilder primarily supports the following production flows:

- Generates video structural plans from service/product information.

- Automatically creates shot divisions tailored to the target audience and appeal points.

- Organizes screen images, content, and dialogue/narration for each shot.

- Generates storyboards including direction notes and duration.

- Reflects revisions to created storyboards during meetings or proposal preparation.

- Useful for creating rough drafts before proposals and organizing direction before commissioning production.

StoryBuilder enables quick visualization of storyboards, which previously took considerable time during post-meeting or proposal preparation, thereby facilitating smoother alignment among stakeholders.

Intended Use Cases

StoryBuilder is intended for use in the following scenarios:

- Storyboard creation before planning and proposing video advertisements.

- Consideration of structural plans for short social media videos.

- Initial structural creation for service introduction videos, recruitment videos, and PR videos.

- Alignment of understanding between production companies and clients.

- Creation of draft video concepts for internal presentations.

- Comparative proposals of multiple creative ideas by advertising agencies.

- Creation of structures for product description videos, sales videos, and internal manual videos.

- Rough draft creation by freelance video creators before client proposals.

- Initial organization of video concepts by marketing, sales, recruitment, and public relations personnel at businesses.

- Trial use by a single user before team adoption.

From "Creating with AI" to "Structuring with AI"

Previous generative AI tools have focused on the generation itself, such as "creating images" or "creating text."

However, what is truly needed in actual production sites is not just simple generation.

What is needed is the ability to:

- Organize the intent of the plan.

- Translate it into the flow of the video.

- Clarify the role of each shot.

- Specify dialogue and narration.

- Share the same image among stakeholders.

- Connect to the next production stage.

StoryBuilder positions AI not as a mere generation tool, but as a production partner that supports the initial design of video production.

By bridging the gap between structural plans and storyboards with AI, we aim to accelerate the pre-production process itself and create an environment where production staff can concentrate on essential planning, direction, and creative decision-making.

Representative's Comment

Kaito Kobayashi, Representative of AIrkaiz Inc.

"In video production sites, a lot of time is spent translating ideas and appeal points into storyboards that stakeholders can share.

In particular, processes such as shot division, image creation, content organization, dialogue/narration, direction notes, and duration design are crucial for determining production quality, yet many of them rely on manual labor.

StoryBuilder is a tool for creating storyboards by automatically organizing the video flow from text input such as service/product information, target audience, and structural plans.

With this official release, StoryBuilder is now available not only to production and advertising companies and businesses, but also to individuals and corporations from a single user.

We aim to provide an environment where it can be utilized in a wider range of production scenes, including team adoption, individual use by staff, client proposals by freelance video creators, and organization of video concepts by individual creators.

On the other hand, we acknowledge that there may be limitations in functionality and quality from a practical standpoint.

We will continue to implement additional features and improve quality at a rapid pace, and we welcome any feedback you may have.

Furthermore, we will continue to refine the product to make it truly usable in actual production sites by continuing our recruitment of initial partner companies."
