Schibsted has launched Videofy, an innovative AI tool now available as open source on GitHub, designed to convert text articles into short videos efficiently. Aimed at automating video production, Videofy generates scripts, matches visuals, creates voiceovers, and assembles final videos—all in minutes—before an editorial review. Originally developed for Schibsted’s newsrooms, this technology aims to democratize video content creation by helping smaller media organizations that may lack resources. By making Videofy open source, Schibsted encourages collaboration and feedback within the media industry to promote responsible journalism. Interested developers and media organizations can access the open-source code and demo to experiment and enhance the platform. This initiative reflects Schibsted’s commitment to fostering innovation and transparency in journalism.
