About Katalist

Katalist is an AI-powered storyboarding and video production platform that transforms scripts into visual stories. It analyzes scripts to identify characters, scenes, and activities, then generates consistent storyboards with AI actors. Users can upload scripts in CSV, Word, or PowerPoint formats, or write directly, and Katalist automatically creates storyboard frames. The tool includes a character posing tool for precise control over character actions, dynamic scene generation for easy scene changes, and an AI Video Studio that turns storyboards into fully produced videos with voiceover, music, and sound effects. Designed for filmmakers, content creators, and creative professionals, Katalist claims to reduce production time by 4x and requires no AI expertise.
