All eleven skills are plain markdown. Paste them into ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Gemini, or another assistant. Rendering needs Studio tools; a finished cut also needs editing and playback tools.
Any assistant
Connect Studio using the app or MCP support available in your client. Copy a complete skill into the conversation. If the assistant can read links, it can load the raw file instead. Native skill installation is optional.

How the skills work
What is an AI production skill?
A skill is a markdown file (SKILL.md) of production instructions. Paste it into your assistant, or use its supported skill loader. These skills teach your assistant how professionals produce each video format with Memes AI Studio: what to plan, which Studio tools to call in which order, how to keep characters consistent, and how to stay on budget.
Do I need Claude Code, or does this work in Claude.ai?
Both. In Claude.ai or Claude Desktop, add Studio as a custom connector and upload the skill ZIP under Customize → Skills. In Claude Code, add the Studio MCP server and drop the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills. Assembly with HyperFrames needs a shell and editor support; if your session lacks those, the skill hands you clips and an edit list instead.
Can I use these skills with ChatGPT or another assistant?
Yes. Paste the skill text at the start of the conversation and connect Studio (it is available as a ChatGPT app and as an MCP connector for other assistants). The instructions are plain markdown, so they are model independent. Tool access varies by assistant and account: without Studio tools, you get a production plan; a finished cut also needs an editor and a way to review the exported file.
What does Memes AI Studio do in this workflow?
Studio is the engine: it renders character sheets and keyframes, animates them into 10-second Cinema shots with native sound, edits and extends shots up to 40 seconds, and upscales to HD or 4K. Your assistant directs Studio through the tools available in its app or MCP connection.
How much does an AI video cost to make?
From about 38 Studio credits for a viral clip to about 490 for a 4-minute short film. Each guide shows the full credit budget and the dollar range on Studio plans. ElevenLabs is optional; HyperFrames is free and open source.
Are the sample videos real?
Yes. Every sample on these pages was made in Memes AI Studio: one keyframe generated from the prompt shown on the guide, then animated into a 10-second Cinema shot with the exact instruction shown. Nothing was edited afterward.
Skills are the playbook. Studio is the engine.
