The company is formed
A small team starts on one bet: the model line will keep turning over, so the panel in front of it is what has to be built well.
About
Models keep changing.
The panel shouldn’t.
Vgent puts every video model worth using behind one panel, one queue and one credit unit — and says plainly which parts are connected and which are not.
What we do
Why this product exists
Three short answers: the problem we picked, the convictions underneath it, and exactly how far along we are today.
Why we build this
A capable new video model ships almost every month, and each one arrives with its own console, its own parameter names, its own credit wallet and its own idea of what a reference image is. Anyone who wants the best result for a given shot ends up keeping five tabs and five prepaid balances open.
That reconciling work belongs to software, not to you. Vgent Labs Pte. Ltd. was founded in 2026 to build the layer in between: one panel that reshapes itself around whichever model you pick, so changing your mind costs a click instead of an afternoon.
- One prompt box instead of one console per vendor.
- One credit unit instead of a wallet per provider.
- One set of parameter ranges, each checked against the provider’s own documentation.
What we believe
Raw generation quality is converging fast. What stays hard is everything around it: knowing which model can actually do the shot, what it charges, what it silently ignores, and what to do when it fails.
- The model is becoming a commodity; the panel around it is the product.
- A tool should be usable before you have an account, not after a sign-up wall.
- A clear no beats a spinner. If a control cannot work yet, it should say so and say why.
Where we are now
This is the honest state of the product as it stands, written the same way we write it internally. Nothing below is a roadmap promise; it is what does and does not run today.
- The workbench is live: anonymous creation, an asset library and task recovery all work in the browser right now.
- You can create without an account. The 200 free credits are a planned allowance and a display figure, not a balance any server holds for you; what actually runs today is a per-clip cost ceiling, a submission rate limit per network address and a daily budget shared by the whole site.
- Accounts, payments and subscriptions are not open. The pricing page previews planned packs; it is not a checkout, and no balance is shown anywhere.
- Uploads are not connected. Object storage is not configured, so the upload endpoint returns a plain error instead of pretending to accept a file, and the workflows that depend on it stay disabled.
- The public API and webhooks are not open either; the generation endpoints serve this site only.
Principles
How we decide
Four rules we apply when a shortcut would be easier, in the order we usually reach for them.
Honest capability edges
If something is not wired up, the control stays visible, is marked unavailable and explains why. We would rather show a disabled button with a reason than a spinner that never resolves or a success message with nothing behind it.
Priced on real cost
One published rule converts a provider’s credits into ours: Vgent credits = ceil(provider credits × 0.75). It is the same multiplier for every model, the ceiling is the only rounding, and a clip’s estimate comes from the model’s own rate rather than a marketing number.
One panel for every model
The panel reshapes itself to the selected model’s verified parameters instead of collapsing everything into one lowest-common-denominator form. Switch models and your prompt stays, the settings that still apply stay, and anything the new model cannot accept is reconciled in front of you.
Privacy first
Creating needs no account, so anonymous work stays anonymous. A prompt goes to the model that renders it and nowhere else; we keep operational logs for reliability and abuse handling, never a copy of your prompts or conversations.
Numbers
Where the product stands
Four figures read straight from the product’s own constants, so this page cannot drift from what the app does.
- 6Video models
All 6 share one panel, one queue and one credit unit.
- 200Free credits
Granted for anonymous creation, with no account and no card.
- 0.75Credits per provider credit
Vgent credits = ceil(provider credits × 0.75) — that is the whole pricing rule.
- 2Languages
Every page ships in 2 languages, each with its own URL.
Milestones
How we got here
The short version of the work so far. Each release is written up in detail in the changelog.
02April 2026
The landing page starts making real videos
The hero composer stops being a mockup. A prompt goes to a server route that proxies the provider and the browser polls the task until the clip is ready. The provider key stays on the server and never reaches the browser.
03June 2026
One dark shell, two languages
The site is rebuilt on a single token palette with no hex values in components, then translated by URL: English unprefixed, Chinese under its own prefix, both rendered on the server with canonical and hreflang tags.
04August 2026
Composer v2 and one credit rule
Every parameter in the panel is checked against the provider documentation, so a control appears only when the API accepts that field. Vgent credits are calculated as ceil(provider credits × 0.75) everywhere, and the pricing page lands with an estimator built on real model rates.
05September 2026
The workbench opens
Anonymous creation, an asset library, a queue and history built from real tasks, and running jobs that survive a reload. Uploads stay disabled until object storage is connected, and the interface says so rather than failing quietly.
Team
Who does the work
We are small and do not publish individual profiles yet, so here is the work itself, split the way we actually split it.
Models and capability verification
Reads each provider’s documentation line by line and records what a model really accepts — resolutions, clip lengths, reference slots, native audio — then keeps the capability matrix and the per-second rates current as versions turn over.
Product and design
Owns the panel: which control appears for which model, what a disabled control has to explain, and how the landing page, pricing and workbench stay recognisably one product in both languages.
Platform engineering
The parts you never see: the generation proxy, rate limiting and idempotent submits, task ownership and signed continuations, and the anonymous budget that keeps free creation open without leaving it unmetered.
Vgent Labs Pte. Ltd. was founded in 2026 and is registered at 68 Circular Road, #02-01, Singapore 049422. Company registration is still in progress, so both the entity name and the registered address are placeholders until it completes.
