Overview

Lobby is a browser-based AI video generator built around a specific viral aesthetic: the Hotel Lobby duo scene. Users upload two photos, choose a scene, select format settings, and generate a 15-second MP4 video with AI audio. The product is positioned as a fast, low-commitment alternative to traditional video editing or subscription-based AI tools. It supports people and pet duos, offers six scene templates, and starts at $1.49 with one-time payment. No sign-up is required to try, and users can preview photos before paying.
