PlayAI is a voice AI platform with text-to-speech and conversational agent APIs, but it is more developer/API-oriented than a self-serve AI filmmaking workspace.
Sora was OpenAI's AI video generation app, but it is discontinued. Melies is now a practical Sora alternative for filmmakers who need GPT Image-style visual development, top video models such as Seedance and Veo, and a full project workflow.
