Short documentaries

True stories, in the time it takes to scroll.

Astrabeat makes short documentary-style videos about founders, science, money and history. Every story is researched, storyboarded and brought to life with AI motion in every scene.

How it works

From the morning news to a finished film.

Software does the heavy lifting. A person makes every decision that matters.

  1. 01

    Read the morning

    Trends and news are gathered each morning.

  2. 02

    Pick one idea

    A person, not a feed, chooses the story worth telling.

  3. 03

    Research

    Every fact about a person is checked against two independent sources.

  4. 04

    Angle and script

    We find the angle and write a script that opens on a hook.

  5. 05

    Storyboard

    Each scene is drawn as an AI picture, and every frame is approved.

  6. 06

    Motion and voice

    The approved frames become AI motion clips with narration.

  7. 07

    Finish

    One finished video with captions, cut for a phone screen.

  8. 08

    Publish

    A person reviews it one last time and posts it.
