What they are

Runway

Runway is a browser-based AI video platform used by filmmakers, social media creators, and marketing teams to generate, edit, and transform video with text and image prompts. Its Gen-4 Alpha model produces short video clips from text or images, while traditional editing tools sit alongside AI features in one workspace. Output quality impresses at short durations, but longer or complex scenes still require significant iteration.

Suno

Suno is an AI music generation tool that creates complete songs, including vocals, instrumentation, and lyrics, from a short text prompt. It serves content creators, podcasters, game developers, and anyone who needs original music without hiring composers or navigating licensing. The output quality is impressive for background and mood music, though Suno retains some rights over generations on lower-tier plans, which is worth reading carefully before commercial use.
