Chat Story — Text Message Story Video Maker
Still placing each chat bubble by hand?
Chat-style story shorts pull good views, but they're a pain to make. Screenshot the bubbles, reveal them one by one, line up the scroll. Chat Story takes a single page of script text and builds the whole video for you.

An agent writes the script
Tell an agent like Claude Code, "Make a Chat Story about the time Mom caught me eating chicken," and it writes the script to the curiosity-in-the-first-two-lines, twist-at-the-end formula and renders it right away. A list of 30 topic ideas is included (family, work, dating, friends, and twist-style).

Who it's for / who it's not
- A fit: story and comedy shorts channels, review-style videos for online stores, and anyone who needs sample conversations for a lecture or course.
- Not a fit: dressing up a made-up conversation to pass as a real person's screenshot. Don't use it for fabricated conversations under a real person's name or for videos that disparage someone. The design is generic and doesn't imitate any specific messaging app.
FAQ
