Animated explainer films, written as code. Claude writes, draws, narrates and scores each one: explainers, lessons, series and a video a day for YouTube, from an idea or from your AI agent through MCP.
KitCut started in a living room in September 2026. Claude writes each film as code (every drawing, camera move, word on screen and music cue), and our studio renders it into a narrated, scored MP4. The product is vibe-coded, built by talking to Claude Code, and its render farm is a second-hand gaming PC with an RTX 3070. A month in, people have made hundreds of films with it: product explainers, onboarding lessons, research videos, cartoon series and daily YouTube channels. KitCut Studios also makes series to order for families and brands.
