Sisif
Sisif provides an API-first AI video generation service that turns text prompts into short vertical videos suitable for social formats (TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts). It's aimed at developers and teams who want to integrate programmatic video creation into apps, workflows, and automation pipelines. The product exposes a simple REST endpoint to submit prompt, duration, and resolution; a status endpoint to poll progress; and webhooks for completion notifications.
Sisif is designed for fast iteration and automation: developers create an API key from the dashboard, POST generation requests, then poll or receive webhooks when videos are ready and download via the returned video URL. The service also provides code examples, an interactive playground, and an n8n integration for no-code workflow automation.
