Argil

Video production studio where AI agents and teams make consistent branded videos

Paidargil.aiUpdated 19 Oct 2026

About Argil

Argil is a Paris-based AI video platform that began with avatar and clone videos for social content and now describes itself as a video production studio for teams and AI agents. Users keep a persistent "cast" of characters that retain their face, body and voice across videos, along with locations, props and a house style that the underlying models render from.

Best for

Recurring branded short-form video where the same characters, voice and style must stay consistent
Branded Social Video Series: Producing recurring videos with the same cast, voice and style, such as mascot series or history content.
Marketing Video Automation: Using the API and webhooks to generate videos from scripts or articles at scale.
Product Presentations: Turning a product brief into a storyboarded video with an avatar presenter.
Agent-Driven Production: Letting an AI agent keep a persistent brand record and request shots through Argil.

Not ideal for

Users who want a free plan, long-form cinematic production, or a fixed low-cost tool with no credit usage

Frequently asked questions

How do credits work on Argil?

Credits are spent when you generate content, and the amount depends on the model and what you create. You choose a monthly credit allowance with the selector on your plan.

Do unused credits roll over?

No. Plan credits refresh each month and do not stack. Extra pay-as-you-go credits can be bought in the workspace and do not expire.

How does yearly billing work?

Yearly plans are paid upfront and keep a monthly credit allowance. The full annual charge is shown below the monthly equivalent.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel from the billing settings in your workspace, and access continues until the end of the current billing period.

Does Argil have an API?

Yes. The documentation covers endpoints for avatars, voices, videos, assets, subtitles and webhooks, plus a credit-cost estimate endpoint. Documented API pricing is credit-based.

Can I avoid paying for voice through the API?

Documentation says you can link an ElevenLabs account with your own voices, in which case voice usage is not charged by Argil.
