Agents
Which agents drive a CoAnimator project, what they actually do, and how to point your own at it.
CoAnimator is agent-native rather than tied to one vendor. It integrates through skills, so any agent you already use can drive the studio.
Supported agents
Bring your own agent, or use ours. CoAnimator loads as a skill in each of these.
| Agent | Supported |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | ✓ |
| Codex | ✓ |
| Gemini | ✓ |
| Cursor | ✓ |
| Hermes | ✓ |
| OpenClaw | ✓ |
It works best on Claude Code and Codex. Hermes and OpenClaw let you launch an agent from any channel, including WhatsApp and Telegram.
Whichever you bring, CoAnimator connects to the subscription you already have instead of selling you a prompt box.
You do not have to bring an agent at all. Driving the editor by hand works; the agent is the faster path.
What the agent actually does
An agent does more than cut scenes together: it researches your product, drafts the script, and explains its work as it goes. Creating videos walks through that sequence, and Skills covers how it learns a format's rules.
Custom agents
The table above is what has been tested, not the limit. Because the integration is
a skill plus the coa CLI rather than a proprietary API, an agent
that can read files and run shell commands has everything it needs: the project is
ordinary files on disk, and rendering is one command.
That also means an in-house or self-hosted agent works on the same terms as a commercial one, with no key to register and nothing to ask us for.
How this compares to Remotion
Adjacent, but aimed at different people. Remotion is a React framework where developers program videos. CoAnimator is a desktop studio where agents author videos on a visual timeline, with local rendering built in. If you want a video product built in React, Remotion is great. If you want finished videos produced by agents with a human directing, that is CoAnimator.
