Pollo AI leverages OpenAI models to simplify video creation for creators and marketers

Pollo AI, a platform that enables creators to transform ideas into videos and ads, has integrated OpenAI models such as GPT-5.6, GPT-6 Astra, and GPT-Image-2.5 to streamline the video creation process. Founded on the belief that creative tools should be accessible to all, the company now serves over 26 million users. Bill Zhu, CEO of Pollo AI, stated the goal is to make video creation as intuitive as Canva did for design. Pollo AI’s latest offering, Pollo Agent, uses OpenAI models to guide users through video creation, from concept to script. CTO Peter Zhou highlighted the models’ ability to understand ambiguous inputs and their multimodal capabilities. The platform balances reasoning depth, speed, and cost by using GPT-5.6 for routing and GPT-6 Astra for complex tasks, reducing user time spent on model selection by over 50%. Pollo AI also offers tools like Photo to Video Ads, which allows users to generate short videos from still images, helping small businesses create social media ads quickly.
