Pika
Consumer-facing tools for generating and editing short video clips from text and images.
Pika is a US startup, founded in 2023 by former Stanford AI students Demi Guo and Chenlin Meng, that makes tools for generating and editing short video clips from text and images. It drew attention for an accessible, consumer-facing product aimed at everyday creators rather than professional studios. The company has raised venture funding from investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners and Nat Friedman, and competes in a crowded field of video generators against Runway, OpenAI's Sora and Google's Veo.
