About waoowaoo

waoowaoo is a self-hosted workspace for AI images and short-drama video. You build a brief with a right-hand Assistant, then refine results on a canvas. It's a preview release with known bugs, and you bring your own OpenRouter API key. Music and voiceover controls aren't in this preview yet.

Best for: Small teams that want a self-hosted canvas workspace for AI short dramas.

What it does

  • Builds a brief and creates assets with a right-hand Assistant
  • Organizes references and generated images and videos on a canvas
  • Sets aspect ratio, duration, resolution and reference role per model
  • Uses first-frame, first/last-frame or reference-image modes when the model allows
  • Refines a result into a new version and keeps the original
  • Runs from prebuilt Docker images, with Caddy handling HTTPS
