Executive Summary

Many small businesses and product teams need short explainer and demo videos but current production is slow, expensive, and fragmented—typical SMB workflows rely on agencies or manual tools that cost hundreds per video and can’t scale to support frequent marketing, onboarding, and release needs. This problem affects an estimated 25M small businesses that increasingly need repeatable, brand-safe video content to drive conversion and retention. You could build a SaaS platform that converts text prompts into polished, brand-compliant explainer videos in minutes using multimodal generative models (text-to-video, TTS, motion assets) plus customizable templates, exportable MP4s, and a developer API for programmatic generation into CI/CD and product pipelines. Offer subscription tiers and usage-based pricing (targeting the ~$400 ACV bracket) and features like localization, analytics, and human-in-the-loop review for quality control. The market is attractive now: a rough TAM of $10B (25M SMBs × $400 ACV) intersects with clear demand for video-first marketing and rapid demo creation, while advances in generative models materially lower marginal production costs. Template and API adoption trends mean teams are actively looking for programmatic, repeatable solutions that maintain brand governance. To win, focus on a competitive edge of developer-first APIs, strict brand templates and governance, fast turnaround, and built-in analytics—capabilities that template editors and boutique agencies struggle to combine at scale. Be upfront about challenges: ensuring consistent creative quality, managing voice/IP licensing, and preventing model hallucinations will require curated asset libraries and hybrid workflows, but these are addressable and worth solving given the size and momentum of the opportunity.
