What is Hailuo AI?
Hailuo AI is the video and image app from MiniMax, the Chinese AI company behind the MiniMax models. You type a prompt or upload a photo, and it generates a short video clip. It runs on MiniMax's own video models, and when we checked, the newest one, MiniMax H3, was live on the site with Omni Reference, which uses a reference image to keep a character or object consistent.
Beyond plain text to video, the site has ready-made templates for popular trends such as pet videos, ASMR clips, love and baby videos, memes and ads. It also has an image generator, audio tools for sound design and voice cloning, and the Hailuo Agent. New accounts get bonus credits, and paid memberships add monthly credits, watermark-free downloads and faster processing.
