👨‍🚀 Endlessly long AI videos are taking over the internet

Hi AInauts,

Welcome to the latest issue of your favorite newsletter! There's been a flurry of news and updates again.

New and revised language, video, and image models from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and others. However, we want to test everything thoroughly before we write about it in detail. So for now, just a few brief news updates on this topic, otherwise lots of practical experience.

Because today we build great websites with AI and create infinitely long AI videos!

Here's what we have in store for you today:

• 🐳 Tool test: Building websites with Onepage AI

• 📼 How to create infinitely long AI videos

• 🔥 OpenAI on Fire: New ChatGPT features every day

Let's go!

🐳 Tool test: Building websites with Onepage AI

Last week, the time had come: Onepage presented the new AI features in a major webinar!

It's a tool that we've been using ourselves for years (including for AINAUTEN) – and we love being able to introduce partners that we actively use ourselves.

We invested 30 euros to try out the new AI features. Here are our first impressions of how well everything works.

Why we consider no-code + AI to be a game changer

When we first mentioned the webinar, we already said it: what we find so exciting about Onepage AI is the ability to create entire websites in seconds using AI—and then edit them as a non-techie using drag-and-drop.

That's the big difference between Claude, ChatGPT, Replit, and the like.

We can customize individual elements, texts, etc. super quickly. Without having to go into the code, without prompting a thousand times, without always having to recreate everything.

That's why it's a game changer for us as non-techies.

7 new AI features—here are the most important ones

Now let's take a look at what the tool can do.

The task: We want to create a new page entirely with AI.

Specifically, we want to build a new homepage for our newsletter.

Our prompt is deliberately kept short, with little context.

One cool feature that stands out here is that we can choose the (language) style between Modern, Formal, and Direct. This immediately makes it much more marketing-oriented.

We like it!

The tool then creates a plan with all the sections it considers appropriate.

You can then change, delete, or approve it. And off we go!

It really takes less than 2 minutes, and we have a new website with 12 sections.

This is where the big advantage of Onepage comes in. The tool knows what good landing pages look like, so even the first result is really good and usable.

Very coherent. Some good ideas too. Images, colors, everything is created. It's also responsive for mobile and could go live immediately.

Of course, no AI website created with little context is perfect from the outset. Mind reading is not yet included here either. But we don't have to keep prompting; we can change all elements, texts, etc. directly by hand.

If you don't like an entire section, you can simply use the AI widget and have it generate alternatives for you.

And whether it's a different layout, grammar check, or translation—everything can be done with just a few clicks.

Customize templates with AI

What we really love and have already been using for several pages is the template remix with AI.

Onepage has countless great website templates that you can use right away. Now you can choose your favorite template and have it customized directly via prompt.

Really great. This allows you to directly change colors, content, etc. without losing the DNA of the template.

Conclusion: We are biased—and very happy about it!

These weren't all the new features, but they were the most important ones for us.

Conclusion? Okay, we're biased. Onepage is a partner, and we've been using it forever.

But precisely because we've been using it for so long, we're really extremely happy about the new AI features.

Onepage was already a great no-code website tool made in Germany. One of the best, in our opinion.

The new AI features make everything even easier, better, and save time. It worked flawlessly in our test, and we are very happy with the initial results.

So if you're looking for a new website tool that combines no-code and AI features, including GDPR compliance, you can find more information here:

🔥 How to create infinitely long AI videos

Let's continue with the text! Since the first AI video models came onto the market, there has been one issue that keeps coming up...

The videos produced by AI are very impressive. However, it is usually only possible to create clips between 5 and 10 seconds long.

Since we keep getting questions about this from the community, today we're going to look at how we can create videos that are virtually endless.

First off: yes, there is research and initial success from teams creating videos that are several minutes long. Here are a few examples from ByteDance.

But that doesn't work for us in practice yet. That's why we have to use a workaround.

Put simply, it works like this:

• We create a video based on a prompt

• We extract the last frame of the video.

• We create a second video with the last frame as a reference.

• We merge both videos together

• ... and go back to the first step and repeat the process

Since the new video models are getting better and better and the reference image feature works really well, you can theoretically create videos of unlimited length with them.

We will now walk you through the process manually, and at the end we will also give you a few tips on how you can automate it.

As an example, we will use the model Veo-3-Fast from Google, via Replicate. Simply enter a prompt and you're ready to go. Alternatively, you can also use Kling 2.5, which is very good and cheaper.

Once the first video is finished, it picks up where the last one left off. You can now simply take a screenshot of the last frame in your video or paste it into ChatGPT with a prompt like this:

Please extract the last frame of this video.

Then upload this image as a reference image, adjust your prompt, and create the next video.

We have now generated two 8-second videos that can be seamlessly linked together. We can repeat these steps as often as we want.

Then there is only one last step left: combining the various clips into a single video.

A great open-source software called FFMPEG helps us here. It allows you to quickly perform many video edits.

The best part is that this process can also be fully automated. You can use Replicate to make Edits here. Or if you just want to merge videos, you can also use this tool here.

And voilà, everything is already put together and you have generated your long video! As mentioned, you can theoretically produce videos of infinite length with this method.

Here's how you can automate the process

Although the process is quite simple, it does of course involve manual effort. You always have to wait until the videos are ready, extract the frames, create prompts, etc.

However, the process can also be controlled entirely via the Replicate API, and we can easily integrate it into our automations with Zapier, n8n, and others.

A use case we are currently building in our AI + Automation Community: creating multiple UGC video ads from a single image, which can then be combined with a fixed call-to-action video and used directly.

We simply control the different models on Replicate via webhook. Everything is conveniently done using a small app interface that we clicked together in Zapier. The result is then displayed in a clear table.

To be honest, it's much easier to implement than you might think. Anyone can learn how to build something like this.

🔥 OpenAI on Fire: New ChatGPT features every day

The newsletter has gotten quite long again, and we don't like to report on new features that we haven't properly tested ourselves yet. So just a quick teaser...

OpenAI is on fire again and pushing new updates almost daily.

With Sora 2, an incredibly powerful video model is now available. The results from the promotional videos look fantastic.

The physics, character consistency, and sound (!) are supposed to be better than anything else on the market right now.

We are really looking forward to trying it out—you can find more details here.

Let's continue! The next big thing concerns ChatGPT. Together with Stripe, Shopify, and Etsy, the most popular chatbot is integrating a checkout directly into the app.

So in the future, you will be able to purchase products directly from Shopify stores (many brands use it) and Etsy directly in ChatGPT.

It will be really exciting to see how brands manage to get recommended directly by ChatGPT in the future!

We will write about this in detail as soon as we have our first experiences.

You made it to the end—thanks for reading! We’ll be back soon with even more updates.
