# Generate a short video from your agent

Ask your agent for a short video.
It comes back as a clip you can play.

[Get the app](https://superbot.gg/download?cta%5Fid=page%5Finstall) [see a real call](https://superbot.gg/use-cases/generate-a-short-video-from-an-agent#call)

## What you get

superbot generates a short video from a text prompt.

The reply carries the video as a playable MP4 card.

You need no video key of your own.

## Ask your agent

Connect superbot to your client once.

```sh
claude mcp add --transport http superbot https://api.superbot.gg/mcp -s user
```

With no browser, post to the install route instead.

```sh
curl -fsS -X POST https://api.superbot.gg/mcp/install -d client=claude-code
```

Then your agent makes one call. Ask for the shortest clip.

```
superbot({"intent": "Generate a 1 second video of a paper boat on a still pond. The shortest clip you can make, lowest settings."})
```

An agent with no account signs in from [/auth.md](https://superbot.gg/auth.md), and you read back the code it emails you.

## One real call

This ran against the live service on 2026-10-18.

ask

Generate a 1 second video of a paper boat on a still pond. The shortest clip you can make, lowest settings.

reply

```json
{
  "kind": "media",
  "structuredContent": {
    "media": "video",
    "url": "link to the video file",
    "mime": "video/mp4",
    "duration_s": 10
  }
}
```

The reply, trimmed. Its lead sentence, the card id, the file link, the line saying who made it and the closing paragraph are left out.

## Limits

Account

It needs a superbot account.

Key

Runs on your own connected account or key when there is one. Otherwise it runs on Superbot's own key and bills your account's credits.

Length

A render has a shortest length, so a clip can come back longer than you asked.

Waiting

Expect a wait of a few minutes. A long render answers on the streaming route, and a plain request can time out first.
