So there I was, one evening, just mindlessly scrolling through my social media feed, I stumbled upon a post related to something called Hailuo AI.
It was some short clip showing that you could take text and render it into video. At first I thought, it sounded like just another over-hyped AI tool. One I’ve heard multiple times already about how awesome it is or how it will change the game, etc.
Still, curiosity got the best of me. The clip was too “convincing” and the result stood apart from other AI video generators, so I decided to test it.
Here’s my experience with the text-to-video AI Generator: Hailuo.AI, I think it’s awesome but let me know what you think!

My Experience with Hailuo.AI
I had no big ideas in mind—just a simple thought: I wanted an image of a physician celebrating the incoming holidays.
Step 1: Writing the Text
I logged into Hailuo.ai, and it prompted me to sign up but since it links to Gmail, that was easy. I clicked the “text to video” option. And from there the process was simple—just type in the description, and the AI would generate the video.
So I didn’t want to make it very complicated, I thought it would be fun to know if the AI can understand my first prompt even if it’s fairly simple.
Here’s what I first wrote:
“A physician super happy to take a break from work and is excited for the holidays, realistic.”
I know it’s very simple and it could use some more details but hey, I just wanted to try the “simple and fast” approach first.
Step 2: The Wait
After that was done, I clicked on generate. This cost 30 credits but they give away 1100 credits at the start for free.
Then it only took about a minute or two? I couldn’t contain how excited I was while seeing the progress bar fill in. What would it be like? Would it feel just like a basic animation or like something taken out of a movie? I typed in “realistic” so I had high expectations.
Step 3: The Result
When the video was ready, I clicked to view it—and wow. The result was amazing. It definitely is realistic, like it’s filmed from an interview. But there was a catch—it was only 5-6 seconds long. Though it was short, it was detailed and visually striking enough that I didn’t mind the length.
Here’s the initial result:
And I know what you’re thinking, it doesn’t show much so I needed to try again. This time I tweaked it a bit and used this prompt:
“A physician celebrating her end of shift as she goes out of the hospital, rushing and super happy, realistic.”
Here’s the second result:
Now that looks better right? The hospital in the background with the sunlight, the facial expression… it looked more of a scene from a movie.
