Business videos built to actually get watched

AI-generated video production for Austin businesses: ad spots, explainer videos, and marketing videos, built with the same speed AI gives you plus the creative direction that keeps it from looking like everyone else's AI video.

Is AI-generated video good enough for a business ad in 2026?

Yes, for most commercial uses. Current AI video models produce footage that looks professional enough for product demos, social ads, and explainer content, as long as a person is directing the script, tool choice, and final edit.

Does adding video to a page actually help SEO?

Yes. Pages with video tend to hold visitors longer than text-only pages and convert at a meaningfully higher rate, and video gives search engines more ways to surface a page in results.

How long should a business or explainer video be?

Most business ads and homepage explainers run 30 to 90 seconds. Shorter videos generally hold attention better for ads and first impressions, while demos and tutorials can run longer if they're answering a specific question.

How much does AI video production cost in 2026?

Pricing varies by scope. DIY AI tools cost little more than a monthly subscription, while a professionally produced AI video from an agency commonly runs $1,000 to $5,000 for a short spot. Our own pricing starts at $1,300 for full production, or $200 if you already have footage.

Austin Code Monkey offers two kinds of business video production. Full AI-generated production builds a video from nothing using AI generation tools, starting at $1,300. Explainer video finishing takes footage you already shot on your phone and turns it into a polished video with branding and lower third messaging, starting at $200.

What We Build

AI video, directed by humans

We combine AI generation tools with real scripting, creative direction, and edit review, so the speed of AI doesn't come at the cost of a video that actually represents your business well.

A real script first

Every project starts with a written script built around what you're actually trying to sell, not a generic AI prompt. You approve it before anything gets generated.

The right tool per shot

We pick from several AI video models based on what a given scene actually needs, covered below, instead of forcing every shot through the same generator.

A human edit pass

Color, sound, pacing, and a full review happen after generation, by a person, before you ever see a final cut.

Who We Work With

Built for real businesses, not concepts

The industries below aren't a wish list. They're businesses we've already produced videos for, several shown in the wall further down this page.

Energy and industrial

Equipment walkthroughs and process visuals for operations too complex or costly to film on location.

Home and outdoor services

Roofing, landscaping, and turf companies that need a video that sells trust fast.

Water and environmental

Clear, plain-language explainers for services that are hard to picture from a description alone.

Small business and local retail

Affordable ad spots for businesses that don't have a marketing department, just a real thing to sell.

Professional services

Videos that put a face and a voice behind a company people are trusting with something important.

Our Toolkit

The right tool for the shot

Different AI video models are good at different things. We pick based on what the shot actually needs, not what's trending.

Tool Best for Watch for
Veo 3 Realistic motion, synced dialogue and sound Longer render times on complex scenes
Sora Cinematic camera moves, stylized environments Less precise on exact product/brand detail
Runway Gen-3 Fast iteration, image-to-video from your own photos Shorter clip lengths per generation
KlingAI Physical realism, product close-ups More prompt iteration needed for faces
Midjourney Still imagery used as source frames for animation Not a video tool on its own. Always paired with one above

Questions

AI video, answered

What is the difference between AI video production and an explainer video?
AI video production builds a video from nothing using AI generation tools, starting at $1,300. Explainer video finishing takes footage you already shot on your phone and turns it into a polished video with branding and lower third messaging, starting at $200.
How much does an AI video cost?
AI-generated business videos start at $1,300 for a short single-scene ad. Longer multi-scene videos with voiceover run $2,600 to $5,000. Multi-variant ad campaigns are quoted based on how many versions you need.
How much does an explainer video cost if I already have footage?
Explainer video finishing starts at $200. You provide raw footage from your phone, and we add branding, lower third messaging, audio cleanup, and overlay graphics.
How long does it take?
A short single-scene ad usually takes about a week from approved script to delivered file. A full multi-scene business video runs a few weeks depending on revisions. Campaign packages with multiple variants take longer since each version goes through its own edit and review pass.
Can AI video work for my industry?
Yes, with the right oversight. We've produced videos for energy, industrial equipment, landscaping, water treatment, and roofing, see the videos below. For regulated industries or anything requiring technical accuracy, we build in an extra review step before anything ships.
Do you write the script, or do I?
We write it. You tell us what the video needs to accomplish and who it's for, and we turn that into a script built to hold attention and drive action. You review and approve before anything gets generated.
Can I get multiple versions for social ads?
Yes, that's exactly what the Campaign Package tier is for. We can produce several different hooks, aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9), and audience-specific versions from one underlying brief.
What do you need from me to start?
Just your goal, your audience, your deadline, and any brand assets you already have (logo, colors, an example video you like). A script or storyboard helps but isn't required, we can build one from a short conversation.
Do you use real actors, or is it all AI?
It's AI-generated visuals, directed and edited by our team. If a project calls for a real person on camera, such as an owner or spokesperson, we scope that separately since it changes the production approach.
How many revisions do I get?
The Starter Ad tier includes one revision round, and Business Story includes two. Additional rounds can be added if a project needs more back and forth than expected.
