Actively building

Roadmap

Follow along as we build Poko Motion. Shipped updates, planned features, and product notes straight from the team.

Poko

URL to video

URL to video is now available in Poko Motion. Paste a website URL and the agent captures the page, reads the real site content and visuals, then builds a motion video without needing a local repo.

Poko
Shipped

@mention design references in Studio chat

Type @ in the Studio chat to reference a past video. The agent reads the referenced composition's index.html and linked CSS/JS to match its design system - layout, palette, typography, and motion. Multiple references are supported per message, and references persist as chips in the chat history. Desktop only.

BYOK model providers

Pro and Agency users can bring their own model keys, choose Claude Code or Codex, and connect personal Claude or ChatGPT subscriptions. Gemini and Grok/xAI are available as beta paths because tool use, caching, and cost can vary by provider.

Poko
Shipped

Custom MCP server support

Connect your own Model Context Protocol servers in Settings so the video agent can use their tools while building - pull scripts, data, and brand assets from tools like Linear, Notion, GitHub, and your own systems. Remote HTTP and SSE servers are supported, with optional auth headers and per-server enable toggles.

Poko
Shipped

OpenRouter and newer model routing

Model routing for OpenRouter, OpenCode-style gateways, Ollama, local models, and fast-moving frontier providers is available through custom routing, so users can test new providers without waiting for every model to be wired individually.

Poko
Planned

REST API

Planned REST API so users and teams can trigger and manage Poko Motion video generation from their own apps, automations, and custom workflows.

Poko
In Progress

Animation templates and motion blueprints

Animation maker is in private testing with prompt-only motion projects and bundled HyperFrames animation blueprints. A user-facing template picker for logo reveals, kinetic type, charts, maps, lower thirds, and social graphics is still being built.

Poko
Shipped

Voice provider BYOK

Pro and Agency users can connect BYOK voice providers for narration. Cartesia and ElevenLabs keys are supported in Studio voice settings; Starter and trial accounts use the built-in Poko voice path.

Poko
Shipped

Voice cloning and media uploads

Voice cloning is available in Studio voice settings with consent capture and saved custom voices, and media uploads for project assets and footage are now supported so the agent can build with your own images and clips.

Poko
Shipped

SFX and background sounds

Background music and sound-effect controls are now available in Studio settings. The agent can generate workspace-level music beds and sparse SFX cues, then wire them into the video timeline.

Poko
Planned

Poko Forum

Planned community space inside Poko where users can discuss workflows, share videos, ask questions, and learn from other creators.

Poko
Planned

Screen recorder and YouTube editor

Planned recording and editing workflow for influencers and YouTubers, with motion overlays, callouts, and AI-assisted edits layered on top of screen or video content.

Poko
Planned

Creative media API BYOK

Planned BYOK support for generation providers like Kie.ai, FAL.AI, and related media APIs for images, video, and other creative assets.

Poko
Planned

Multiple saved versions

Planned version history for motion projects, so the first cut can be preserved and later edits can branch into new saved versions instead of overwriting the same result.

Poko
Planned

Web app URL, PPT, and PDF to video

Planned web-based generation for website, PPT, and PDF to video flows. Desktop will remain the local repo-focused workflow, while non-repo inputs can run from the website.

Poko
Shipped

Desktop account profile

The desktop app now fetches the signed-in user profile from Clerk and shows account details plus sign out directly in the app sidebar.

Poko
Shipped

Opus 4.8 motion agent

Poko Motion now uses Opus 4.8 as the latest video-generation agent. The upgrade improves scene planning, visual density, code quality, and multi-step edits for polished motion videos.

Poko
Shipped

45-second high-motion ads

Motion ads now default to a tighter 40-45 second format with higher animation density, stronger hooks, and faster pacing. Users can create a 45-second high-motion ad for approximately $3 in AI usage.

Poko
Shipped

Motion video tutorials

Added clearer product walkthrough and motion-ad guidance so users can understand what to upload, what the agent builds, how long videos should be, and how to iterate with chat edits.

Poko
Shipped

Export to Downloads with progress bar

Render your motion video directly to your Downloads folder. A live progress bar tracks frame capture and FFmpeg encoding in real time. Once done, reveal the file in Finder with one click.

Poko
Shipped

Embedded HyperFrames Studio preview

Replaced the old preview player with an embedded HyperFrames Studio experience inside Poko Motion. Users get a richer timeline-aware preview, better playback controls, export actions, and in-window fullscreen without leaving the app.

Poko
Shipped

Agency workspaces

Group projects into named workspaces for agency-style multi-client management. Create, rename, delete workspaces and move projects between them. Gated behind an agency flag for now - billing-based gating coming soon.

Poko
Shipped

Real-time cost & token tracking

Live display of accumulated agent cost, input/output tokens, cache hits, and model usage per project. Resets per project, updates in real time as the agent works.

Poko
Shipped

PPT to video

Hand the agent a .pptx file. It extracts slides, preserves layouts and branding, adds cinematic motion and transitions, and renders a polished video. No manual slide recreation.

Poko
Shipped

PDF to video

Select any PDF - pitch deck, whitepaper, product doc. The agent reads every page, writes narration, and produces animated slides with transitions. Page-by-page extraction with auto-generated scenes.

Poko
Shipped

Claude agent runtime

Switched the AI backbone from OpenAI to Claude (Anthropic). Significantly better code generation quality for video compositions, with thinking-budget controls and BYOK support for users who want to use their own API key.

Poko
Shipped

Animation quality overhaul

Massively improved motion density: varied GSAP transitions, staggered reveals, parallax layers, camera-drift effects, and dynamic zoom pulses. Videos now look cinematic instead of slideshow-like.

Poko
Shipped

SaaS project repo → video

Point at any project repo - a SaaS codebase, design system, or marketing repo. The agent reads your assets, extracts brand colors and fonts, writes a script, and generates a full motion video locally.

Poko
Shipped

Chat editor with live preview

Natural language editing inside the studio. "Make scene 2 zoom slower." "Swap to a dark background." The AI agent edits video files live and the preview updates in real time.

Poko
Shipped

Local rendering engine

Everything renders on your hardware - no cloud queue, no per-render fees. M-series Macs render a 30-second video in under 60 seconds. Bundled FFmpeg and headless browser, zero external dependencies after first run.

Poko
Shipped

UI & stability improvements

Refactored frontend into smaller focused components, consolidated icons, centralized formatters, extracted shared types. Fixed tool rows stuck in "running" state, markdown table rendering, and agent context retention across turns.

Poko
Shipped

Motion billing & credits

Motion billing tracks token consumption, included AI credits, top-ups, and per-project usage. Starter uses Poko credits; Pro and Agency unlock BYOK for AI and voice providers.
