Video GPT by VEED (also stylized as VideoGPT by VEED) is an artificial intelligence text-to-video tool developed by the London-based online video editing company VEED.IO. It allows users to generate short videos from natural language prompts, with the AI assembling stock footage, voiceovers, subtitles, and music into a finished clip that can be further edited inside VEED's browser-based editor.[1] The product is offered both as a standalone web tool at veed.io/tools/video-gpt and as a custom GPT inside ChatGPT's GPT Store, where it is one of the more widely distributed third-party video generation tools available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers.[2]
Video GPT by VEED targets users who want to produce short-form video content, particularly for social media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X (Twitter), without using a traditional video editor.[3] The tool combines a large language model interface for accepting prompts with VEED's existing media library, text-to-speech engine, and editing infrastructure. After a user submits a prompt describing the desired video, the system generates a script and then assembles a draft video that the user can refine, customize, or export.[1][4]
The product is positioned as an accessible entry point for creators who lack the time, skill, or software for conventional video editing. It is also marketed to small businesses, marketers, educators, and nonprofit organizations as a low-friction way to create explainer videos, social ads, and informational content.[3]
VEED.IO is an online video editing platform founded in 2018 by Sabba Keynejad and Timur Mamedov.[5] The company bootstrapped for several years before raising a $35 million Series A round led by Sequoia Capital, announced on 2 February 2022; TechCrunch reported it as the company's first outside funding, at a point when VEED had reached around 1 million users and roughly $7 million in annual recurring revenue.[5] VEED's core product is a browser-based video editor that includes features such as automatic subtitles, video translation, AI voiceovers, and stock media libraries. Video GPT was developed as an AI-first companion product that wraps VEED's existing editing pipeline behind a conversational and prompt-driven interface.[1]
Video GPT by VEED is available as a custom GPT in OpenAI's GPT Store, where it operates inside the ChatGPT interface.[2] Users prompt the GPT with a description of the video they want, the GPT helps refine a script through conversation, and it then produces a draft video that opens in VEED's online editor for further refinement.[4] According to VEED's documentation, using the GPT does not require a separate VEED account, although a ChatGPT login is needed, and the GPT itself is available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers.[6] The standalone web version of Video GPT is also accessible directly from VEED's website without a ChatGPT account.[1]
Video GPT by VEED bundles several capabilities that are part of VEED's broader product suite.
The core feature accepts a written description and produces a complete short video. The system generates a script, selects stock footage, layers in an AI voiceover, and adds subtitles and background music.[1][4] Videos are oriented toward short-form content: VEED's guidance describes the GPT as producing clips of roughly 30 seconds by default, with a maximum length of about 3 minutes, which the company frames as well suited to TikTok and YouTube.[4][6] Longer videos can be assembled by extending the AI-generated draft inside VEED's editor.[6]
Video GPT includes an AI script generator that produces a written script from a prompt, which can then be passed directly into the video generation pipeline. This separates the writing step from the assembly step and gives users the option to review and edit the script before video generation begins.[4]
The product uses VEED's text-to-speech engine to generate spoken narration in multiple voices, languages, and accents.[1] VEED also offers voice cloning, allowing creators to replace the default narration with a custom voice, subject to VEED's terms of service.[4] Text-to-speech generation is capped at 5,000 characters per video project.[1]
Generated videos draw from VEED's library of royalty-free stock clips, music, and sound effects. The library is integrated with the editor so users can swap individual assets after generation without leaving the platform.[1]
Because Video GPT outputs open in VEED's standard editor, users have access to VEED's full editing functionality after generation. This includes timeline editing, automatic subtitles, audio adjustments, the ability to add titles and a brand logo, and other effects, after which the project can be exported at a chosen quality and downloaded or shared to platforms such as YouTube and Instagram.[4][6]
Within ChatGPT, the GPT presents a set of starting options that route the conversation toward a specific task. VEED's documentation lists four: creating a marketing or social video, experimenting with a 4-second generative AI video clip, turning a long-form video into shorter clips, and adding subtitles or translations to an existing video.[6]
There are two main entry points to Video GPT by VEED:
veed.io/tools/video-gpt is accessible directly through a browser, with no account or sign-up required to start.[1] VEED's core text-to-speech and AI tools can be tried free of charge from the web tool, but features such as longer exports, higher resolutions, dubbing, and other advanced AI capabilities are gated behind VEED's paid subscription tiers.[1][6]VEED publishes the tool in localized versions across more than 35 languages and regions, ranging from English to Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, and Korean.[1]
Third-party AI tool directories and reviewers have catalogued Video GPT by VEED across a range of use cases, with the strongest emphasis on short-form social media content. The B12 AI directory describes it as a tool for generating videos optimized for major social platforms including TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X.[3] CharityGPT lists it as a tool that nonprofits can use to lower the production costs of organizational videos.[7]
Reviewers commonly note that Video GPT's strengths are speed and accessibility rather than fine creative control: it is fast for producing a serviceable draft from a short prompt, but creators wanting cinematic or fully bespoke output will typically need to refine the result in VEED's editor or use other tools. Some directories also flag the ChatGPT Plus dependency as a friction point for the GPT form factor, and point to alternatives such as InVideo AI for teams needing more collaborative features.[3]
Video GPT by VEED is one component of a wider AI-driven feature set inside VEED.IO. The platform offers, among other tools, an AI video generation front end, AI script generation, AI voice generation, automatic subtitles, and video translation.[1] Video GPT bundles these capabilities behind a single prompt-based interface, while the standard VEED.IO editor exposes them as discrete tools within a more traditional timeline-based editing experience.
