This guide takes you from sign-up to your first AI-generated video in about five minutes.
1

Create your workspace

Go to talkcut.com and sign up with your Google account or email. After signing in, you land on your workspace dashboard — this is where all your projects live.
2

Start a new project

Click Create project on the dashboard. Give it a name and you’ll enter the editor.The editor has two main areas:
  • Canvas (left) — your visual workspace where generated content appears
  • Chat panel (right) — where you talk to the AI agent
3

Generate your first image

In the chat panel, describe what you want to see. For example:
A futuristic cityscape at sunset with flying vehicles and neon signs
The AI agent processes your request and places the generated image directly on the canvas. You can drag, resize, and rearrange it.
4

Turn it into a video

Now that you have an image on the canvas, ask the AI agent to animate it:
Animate this image — slow camera pan across the cityscape with vehicles moving
The agent takes your canvas image and generates a video clip from it. The video appears on your canvas.
5

Try variations

Every generation creates a new item on the canvas — nothing gets overwritten. Try different approaches:
  • Ask for a different style: “Make this more cinematic with warmer colors”
  • Edit the image: “Remove the vehicles and add rain”
  • Generate from a different angle: “Same scene but from street level at night”
You can compare all variations side by side on the canvas.
6

Upload reference material

For more control, upload your own images using the Upload button in the toolbar. Reference images help the AI understand your creative intent — the vision engine analyzes style, composition, and color from your uploads.Uploaded files go to your asset library, where they are automatically tagged and organized by visual similarity. You can reuse them across projects.
7

Use skills for consistency

If you find yourself repeating the same style directions, save them as a skill. Go to Skills in your workspace sidebar and create a reusable prompt template with a /slash command.Next time you chat with the AI agent, type / to invoke your skill instead of retyping the instructions.
