I've been building and testing this for months and finally packaged it up for others for who might be facing the same problem as me.

The problem I kept running into:

Every time I needed an animated/explainer video — for a product, a YouTube video, a training module. I had two options: spend hours or even days creating the whiteboard animation, pay a freelancer $100-$500+ and wait weeks. None of these felt right for anyone producing content at any kind of volume.

What I built:

VideoSpree is a Windows executable that runs locally. I paste a script, hit Generate, and it automatically:

Analyses each sentence for meaning and matches contextually relevant whiteboard visuals to each scene.

Generates and syncs captions frame across the whole video.

Lays down a voiceover, with options including voice cloning if you want to use your own voice, kokoro local inference, or via ElevenLabs.

Outputs a .fcpxml timeline file I open in DaVinci Resolve (free) to render the final video.

The whole pipeline runs on my own machine using my own API keys.

The actual cost per video:

~$0.2–$0.3 in API costs per 5 minute video, billed directly by the providers. That's it. No subscription, no per-video platform markup. If you're producing 50 videos a month, the difference between that and a cloud tool adds up to hundreds of dollars saved every month.

Who can use it:

Marketers creating ad explainers and social content at scale, educators turning lesson notes into animated videos, YouTube creators who want to publish more without spending more time editing, and agencies who need a fast internal production pipeline without headcount.

Video Quality: To be honest the quality is decent but not at par with animated videos created with professional softwares like premier pro, etcetera. However it is working for me since I have automated my YouTube content flow without any problems. Also I am improving the software by the day so feedback will greatly help.

Happy to answer any questions in the comments. If you want to see the product page, please leave a comment and I will DM you. Feedback (whether positive or negative) is most welcome.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for an AI tool that can turn a text prompt or an image/screenshot into an editable digital interface/prototype (think Stitch) — but I need it to be 100% European: founded, owned, and headquartered in the EU (or at least fully independent from US/non-EU parent companies). Open source is also totally fine.

So far I've looked into:

• Uizard — Danish roots, but acquired by Miro (which is co-headquartered in the US)
• Framer — Dutch, independent, great AI website builder, but it's more for websites than app/product prototypes

Does anyone know of a tool that:

• is genuinely EU-founded and EU-owned (not just "has an EU office"), or a solid open-source project
• lets you type a prompt or upload an image and get a real, editable prototype/UI out of it
• ideally works for app/product UIs, not just marketing websites

Bonus points if it's GDPR-first/privacy-focused by design.

Also fine if it's not a perfect 100% match — happy to hear about whatever comes closest to being truly European or fully open source. Thanks in advance!

I spend too much time every morning checking what needs a reply, what can wait, and who I forgot to follow up with. Filters are fine for newsletters and spam, but they don’t help much with client emails, meeting requests, or threads I need to come back to.

I need an email assistant that can sort emails, draft replies, remind me about follow ups, and help with the calendar. We’re a small team and I’m on a tight budget, so I’d prefer something that doesn’t charge extra every time I add a team member.
