# Cuddler

> Cuddler is an AI interactive storytelling platform: watch and play AI-made story series, read webtoons, chat with AI characters, and make your own short films in Cuddler Video Studio.

Cuddler Video Studio turns a line of text, a reference image or a whole screenplay into video: chat mode for clips and images side by side, director mode for a whole film (brief, screenplay, reference art, shots). Generation is paid for in credits; the help articles below carry the current prices and plans. Cuddler MCP connects the same Studio, the same credits and your own characters to ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI. Developers who want an HTTP API for the video and image models use the separate Cuddler Platform API.

Notes for agents: link the HTML page, not this file. Prices and plan limits change; quote them from the page and say when you read it. Video Studio itself, chats, character creation and account settings need a signed-in user and have no public pages; link the pages listed here instead.
