Hedra AI is an innovative AI-powered video creation platform developed by Hedra, a San Francisco-based startup founded by Michael Lingelbach (CEO) and Alex Bergman (CTO). Launched in June 2024 with $10 million in seed funding from Index Ventures, Abstract, and A16Z Speedrun, Hedra aims to revolutionize storytelling by making video production accessible to everyone. As of March 17, 2025, its latest model, Character-3 (released early March 2025), has elevated its capabilities, positioning it as a standout in the generative AI video space.

Accessible via hedra.com, Hedra offers a free tier (watermarked, 30-second limit, 5 videos/day) and paid plans—Basic ($10/month, 50 videos/day, commercial use), Pro ($30/month, longer durations, priority processing)—with over 350,000 users generating 1.6 million videos since launch. It excels in speed (videos in ~1 minute) and character expressiveness, outpacing tools like Runway or Luma Labs in lifelike motion, though it’s limited to square formats and lower resolutions in the free tier. Ideal for marketers, educators, and storytellers, Hedra’s intuitive design and rapid iteration make it a game-changer in AI-driven content creation.
