Eloelo launches Dolphin AI to turn scripts into videos

Indian entertainment startup Eloelo has launched a new artificial intelligence tool called Dolphin AI that can convert written scripts directly into finished video content.

Saurabh Pandey, the founder and chief executive of Eloelo, unveiled the software during a presentation at the FICCI FRAMES event in Mumbai. The launch was backed by the Indian government, with Prithul Kumar, a joint secretary at the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, opening the company's exhibition booth.

Solving the consistency problem

While the market is flooded with AI generators that can create striking visual clips, most of these tools have a major limitation. They typically struggle to produce footage longer than eight to ten seconds before losing track of the original context, resulting in disjointed jumps or shifting characters.

Eloelo claims Dolphin AI solves this issue. The tool is designed to read the creative intent of a script, divide a longer video into logical individual shots, and maintain character and narrative consistency throughout the entire sequence.

To do this, the platform combines multi-shot planning with integrated voice generation, editing options, and film-studio features. The goal is to let solo creators, small marketing teams, and independent filmmakers produce cohesive videos without needing a suite of different software packages.

Born out of internal demand

According to Pandey, the technology was not built in a vacuum. It was developed to solve the startup's own production bottlenecks. Eloelo, which also owns Story TV, has produced more than 5,000 original dramas and tests roughly 100,000 creative assets every month.

"Dolphin came from solving our own production problems at that scale," Pandey said at the launch, adding that he believes AI will lead to a world of "infinite content." He said he hopes the tool will help India transition from being primarily a major consumer of digital content to one of its leading global exporters.

Who is it for?

The startup is targeting a wide range of users with the platform, from independent social media creators to commercial brands and film studios.

The software is capable of producing several formats, including direct-to-consumer advertisements, micro-dramas, tutorials, and social media videos. It also supports automated podcasts, cinematic sequences, digital avatars, and animations.

The company hopes that by automating the heavy lifting of video editing and shot composition, Dolphin AI will allow smaller production teams to compete with larger studios at a fraction of the traditional cost.

Eloelo, which began life in 2020 as a live-streaming and social app, plans to roll out support for multiple Indian languages and formatting styles to cater to the country's diverse regional storytelling traditions.
