Oraku is a web-based AI video generator from JoyoLabs, Inc., a consumer-AI company, launched on November 5, 2026. The design goal, in founder and CEO Cihat Imamoglu's words, is that "AI video shouldn't be expensive, slow or complicated." You open it in a browser, pick a trending template or type a short prompt, add a photo or your own short video, choose a model, and download a clip in well under a minute. No filming, editing software, or technical skill is required.
Oraku does not train its own models — it runs on third-party video models and lets you pick one per generation. The launch names H3 Max and Seedance 2.5 as the models underneath, and JoyoLabs says new models will be added as they ship. In the studio, the default generation settings are a 9:16 vertical frame, a 5-second duration, and 768p resolution; inputs are a text prompt, an image (image-to-video), a template, or your own video of roughly 5 to 30 seconds. The image-to-video entry point is at oraku.com/try.
The product's center of gravity is its template library — around 40 trend templates grouped into swaps, scenes, effects, styles, and pictures, with featured starter trends like dropping yourself into a supercar scene or turning a pet photo into a playful clip, refreshed weekly based on what is trending. Pricing is credit-based: each generation shows its credit cost before it runs, credits are returned if a generation fails, and there are free clips to start. JoyoLabs did not publish dollar figures at launch and says it will expand to more formats and use cases over time.
The boundary to design around: Oraku's job ends at the download. It generates a short vertical clip and hands you a file — it writes no captions, keeps no consistent brand voice or look across clips, produces no other formats (no carousel, blog, newsletter, or landscape cut), and publishes to no platform. Its output is a single clip, and everything after that is a separate job.
Think of an Oraku clip the way an editor thinks of a stock shot: it is an ingredient, not a finished post. That reframing is the whole bridge to [Kompozy](/). Oraku is a cheap, fast supply of raw trend footage; Kompozy is the assembly line that turns raw footage into branded, captioned, multi-platform content and ships it. The two compose cleanly because they do opposite halves of the job — generate the clip over there, finish and distribute it here.
The direct move is [Clipped Shorts](/glossary/clipped-short): upload the downloaded Oraku clip as source footage and Kompozy writes a hook in your [Persona Brief](/glossary/persona-brief) voice, burns in word-by-word captions for muted feeds, and reframes to 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 — so a generic swap clip ships sounding and reading like your brand instead of like everyone else's trend post. Because Oraku is credit-cheap, the practical workflow is volume: generate several trend clips in a sitting, then let Kompozy fan the same idea into a [HyperFrames](/glossary/hyperframes) carousel, a [Quote Graphic](/glossary/persona-tweet), a blog, and a newsletter — every piece held to one Persona Brief voice — and [Autopilot](/glossary/autopilot) schedules the lot across the eight social platforms plus blog and email behind a per-post review gate. Oraku makes the raw clip; Kompozy makes it yours and makes it ship. For higher-ceiling source generators you can feed the same way, see [Seedance](/ai-tools/seedance), the [MiniMax H3 video model](/ai-tools/minimax-h3-video-model), and [Kling AI](/ai-tools/kling-ai).

JoyoLabs did not publish specific dollar figures at launch, describing Oraku as "one of the most affordable ways" to make AI video. Confirm current rates on oraku.com.
The studio’s default settings are a 9:16 vertical frame, a 5-second duration, and 768p resolution, generated in well under a minute. You can also start from your own video of roughly 5–30 seconds. As a brand-new product, these options will likely change — check oraku.com for the current spec.
No. Oraku generates and downloads a clip only. To add word-synced captions, reframe for each feed, apply a consistent brand voice, and schedule across TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, and more, bring the clip into Kompozy as a Clipped Short — it handles all of that.
Treat the Oraku clip as source footage in Kompozy: upload it as a Clipped Short, then let Kompozy write a hook in your Persona Brief voice, caption and reframe it, and fan the idea into a carousel, quote graphic, blog, and newsletter in one voice. Autopilot schedules the set across the eight social platforms plus blog and email.
