About Hailuo AI
What it is
Hailuo AI generates video and images from text or from photographs, with reference controls that let a character or style carry between generations. It runs in the browser with a free allowance, alongside image, audio and agent tools from the same company.
Why it's different
The reference handling is the reason people use it over the alternatives: keeping the same face or object across several shots is the thing generative video is worst at, and getting closer to it is worth more than another point of visual fidelity. Clips are short, prompt adherence is uneven, and text inside a generated frame is still unreliable. It is pitched at social content and that is where it holds up; it is not a substitute for a shoot.
How people use it
Short social video and ads. Consistent characters across a set of clips. Animating a still you already have. Fix your reference image before generating anything, because changing it later means regenerating every shot that used it.
