Arcads is an AI video-ad platform that turns scripts into UGC-style creatives using a library of 1,000+ realistic AI actors or a custom AI avatar you generate. It's built for performance marketers, D2C brands, mobile-app studios, and agencies who need to produce, localize, and test ad variations at volume without cameras, editors, or multiple tools. Its main differentiator is a single AI actor/UGC workflow — pick a model, script the ad, set emotion, translate into 30+ languages, and edit — rather than a generic text-to-video generator.

Runway is the next-generation AI tool for creators. Best known for the Gen-3 text-to-video model, Runway provides 30+ AI-powered tools that let you generate videos, remove backgrounds, edit footage, and bring imagination to life.
