AI agents for Creatomate
A Monmo agent uses Creatomate the way a motion designer with a spreadsheet would. It fills your Creatomate templates with text, photos and clips from Google Sheets, Airtable or Shopify, renders vertical, square and landscape versions, adds captions, and checks each MP4 before you do. It works with your own API key, and uploading or posting a video always asks first.

What agents do in Creatomate
A video for every product
For each item in a Shopify collection it fills the template with the product name, three photos and the price, renders a 15-second clip and lists any product without enough images.
AskMake a 15-second video for every product in the Summer collection with our Product Spotlight template.
Three formats from one set of data
It sends the same data to the 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 versions of your template, so TikTok, Instagram and YouTube each get a clip laid out for them rather than cropped.
AskRender the launch video in vertical, square and landscape for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
Listing tours from photos
For a property listing it orders the photos, writes a short caption for each room, picks music from your library and renders a tour, ready for you to watch before it goes anywhere.
AskMake a 30-second tour for 12 Elm Street from the listing photos, with room names as captions.
Captions from a transcript
It turns a transcript or script into timed subtitles, styles them to your template and renders the clip with burned-in captions, so it still makes sense with the sound off.
AskAdd burned-in captions to the founder clip in our caption style.
Write RenderScript for a new layout
When the editor is not enough, it writes the RenderScript JSON for a new layout, renders a test and shows you the result next to the brief before saving it as a template.
AskWrite a RenderScript for a quote video: logo top left, quote in the middle, name underneath.
Check renders before anyone sees them
It checks each finished MP4 for clipped text, black frames and audio that starts late, and reruns or flags the ones that fail, so you only review the good ones.
AskCheck last night's 50 renders and rerun any with clipped text or silent audio.
Hand finished videos to the social plan
Approved clips go to your social media agent with captions and suggested times. Posts to TikTok, Instagram or YouTube are prepared and wait for your approval on one card.
AskGive the approved product videos to Mika with captions, ready to post next week after I approve.
How it connects
- 1You connect Creatomate once with the API key of your own Creatomate project. Renders are billed to that project's plan, so the agent works within the credits you have.
- 2You choose which agents may use Creatomate. A video editor or social media agent fits; an ecommerce agent may use it for product videos.
- 3Test renders, script drafts and checks need no approval. A large render run, changes to saved templates and any upload or post to your channels ask first.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent make videos with Creatomate?
Yes. A Monmo AI agent fills your Creatomate templates with your data, renders each video and checks the result before you see it. It can also write RenderScript for a new layout. It works through the Creatomate connection, or in its own browser in the template editor when the connection does not cover something.
Can it make hundreds of personalised videos from a spreadsheet?
It can render one video per row, and it tells you first how many renders the job needs and what that means for your plan's credits. A large run asks before it starts. If the videos are for outreach, sending them to people is a separate step you approve batch by batch.
Will it post the videos to TikTok or Instagram?
Not on its own. The agent prepares each post with the video, caption and time, and shows the batch on one card. You allow, edit or decline each one. You can also take the approved files from the Library and post them yourself.
Do I need to code to use Creatomate with an agent?
No. You can design templates in the Creatomate editor and the agent fills them. If you want a layout the editor makes hard, the agent can write the RenderScript for you and show a test render. Either way you review the video, not the code.
