Hypit — we build the Harness for video.

Hypit is the world's #1 video programming language and system for AI agents. Born to kill Adobe.

Adobe, CapCut, DaVinci, Final Cut: all built for human hands and eyes. Hypit is a language and system designed for agents.

Drop in a viral video and your agent clones it as a complete workflow: footage, captions, B-roll and effects. Nothing is pinned to seconds on a timeline; everything is anchored to words in the narrative. And because it is agent-native, every component's parameters are the agent's to tune, all written in SVML. Change a word, one line regenerates. One command, 100 variants, 100M views.

Humans edit video. Agents compile it.

Why we build this

Video models cannot pull this off on their own. Today's model is one network painting a whole clip in a single pass, trained on captions as coarse as "a woman cooking in a kitchen." There is no caption, no B-roll, no beat anywhere in its head, so you cannot give orders to any of them separately. That is set by the generation paradigm, and stacking parameters will not change it: a bigger model paints prettier frames, but the precision still is not there.

So the work has to happen outside the model. You need a system that turns every atomic step of video production into a component, and a language those components are written in, compiled and run by the system, and assembled into the finished film.

DeepSeek's Harness does exactly this for agents: a model on its own gets no work done, so they built tools, sandboxing, scheduling and the run loop itself as swappable plugins. Only then does a model become an agent.

Video is missing exactly that layer.

      Agent = Model       + Harness
Video Agent = Video Model + Hypit

What Hypit builds

  • Clone any video — drop one in, get the whole workflow: footage, captions, B-roll, effects. Not a script breakdown.
  • One workflow, 100 variants — the second video costs almost nothing; the hundredth is a loop.
  • $0 a video — a workflow can compile captions, motion graphics and code-rendered visuals into a finished video without calling a single model.

Paid social ads, viral clones, TikTok Shop and affiliate videos, AI UGC and talking heads, podcast and interview clips, localized versions in ten languages — every one an editable, re-runnable composition, not a one-off render.

What we are not

  • Not a model. Plug in your own image and video models. BYOK — bring your own key.
  • Not an editing tool. Not ChatCut, not Palmier. We anchor on people who want the video itself generated by AI: AI talking heads, AI UGC, AI interviews, AI podcasts.
  • Not a closed product. Arcads is $220/mo, HeyGen $49/mo, Creatify $39/mo, CapCut Pro $19.99/mo. Hypit is open source, self-hostable, and $0. Free to start. Open to own.
  • Not a one-click template box. We ship templates, but every component is yours to modify, replace or write from scratch.

The team

Average age 20 — the founder drags it up. Peking University and Tsinghua undergrads, ex-Tencent and ex-ByteDance engineers, an ex-Zhipu multimodal researcher, a Cornell-trained designer, an 18-year-old creator with 46K followers and a 4.47M-view video, and a 16-year-old running marketing. Most of them took a large pay cut, or left school, to build this.

What your sponsorship funds

  • The language and the compiler — the SVML spec, the elaborator, and the durable Build state machine that makes slow, costly, non-deterministic AI generation reviewable and reproducible.
  • An open component ecosystem — script, generation, speech, alignment, captions, tracks, compositing and rendering, each a package anyone can replace or contribute.
  • Provider independence — adapters for Seedance, MiniMax, Gemini, Grok, GPT Image, WhisperX and more, so no one is locked to a single vendor.
  • Keeping it free — every competitor in this category is a subscription. We intend to stay open source, and sponsorship is what makes that sustainable.

Sponsoring us buys focused time on the compiler instead of on anything else. Thank you 💜
