Show HN: I'm building the missing production workflow for AI filmmakers
Seventeen Labs is developing a production workflow tool designed for AI filmmakers, aiming to fill a gap in the current ecosystem by streamlining AI-assisted video creation from concept to final output.
Background
- **seventeenlabs.io** is a startup by an indie developer building a production workflow tool aimed at "AI filmmakers" — creators who use generative AI tools (e.g., Runway, Pika, Sora, Stable Video Diffusion) to produce video content.
- Current AI video tools are good at generating short clips, but lack proper pipelines for managing assets, maintaining character/visual consistency across shots, version control, and collaborative editing. This project tries to fill that gap.
- The broader context: generative video is a rapidly emerging field (2023–2024), but most output is still one-off clips; professional-grade film production requires structured workflows (scripting, storyboarding, shot lists, consistent characters, post-production). This is a missing layer between raw AI generation and a finished film.
- "Show HN" means the founder is presenting their work to the Hacker News community for feedback — it's an early-stage, possibly solo project, not a large company.
