You commented ANIMATE, so here is every style from the reel, each with the exact prompt that makes it.

Every animation below was made by Ootto inside Claude, from one prompt. Connect Claude to Ootto once, pick a style, paste its prompt, and put your own line where it says [your line]. Ootto makes the reel in your brand, and nothing is posted until you approve it.

Step 1: Connect Claude to Ootto

You do this once, on a computer, at claude.ai or in the Claude desktop app. After that, Ootto works in Claude on your phone too.

  1. Sign up at ootto.ai and add your brand: your website, your Instagram handle, or a line about what you sell.
  2. In Claude, click Customize in the left sidebar (on some versions it is Settings), then open Connectors.
  3. Click Add, then Add custom connector.
  4. Name it Ootto and paste this address: https://mcp.ootto.ai/mcp. Leave the advanced settings empty.
  5. Click Connect. Claude opens a page from Ootto. Sign in there with the same account, and Claude is connected. There is no key to copy.

Name it, paste the address

Ootto, and https://mcp.ootto.ai/mcp. Then Connect and sign in.

Add custom connector dialog filled in with name ootto and URL https://mcp.ootto.ai/mcp

Shortcut: open Claude's connector form with Ootto already filled in, then go straight to step 5. The first time Claude uses Ootto, it asks for your permission. Choose to always allow it, so Claude can work without stopping. More screenshots are in the connector guide.

Step 2: Paste a prompt

Start a new chat in Claude, paste the prompt of the style you want, and swap [your line] for the words you want on screen. Claude makes the reel with Ootto and shows it to you. Want a change? Say it in plain words, like "slower zoom" or "use our blue".

Some styles use a short AI video clip, like the isometric town, the laptop, the clay city and the ink-wash landscape. AI video clips are paid with your credits, at most three in a reel. The last six styles are built around a clip of you, so add one to your Ootto media library first.

Globe arcs

A glowing night globe zooming in while orange arcs fly between cities, under the line seen worldwide

Night TV

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know animation to use these?
No. Paste the prompt and put in your own line. Ootto builds the animation, the captions and the sound, and you change anything in plain words.
Where do I paste the prompts?
Into Claude, once Claude is connected to Ootto. Step 1 above shows how; it takes about a minute.
Will the reel use my brand?
Yes. Ootto makes it in your brand's colours, fonts and voice, from the brand you added when you signed up.
Does Ootto post the reel for me?
Only when you approve it. Every reel waits for your yes before it is posted or scheduled.
What does it cost?
See the pricing page for each plan. AI video clips, used by a few of these styles, are paid with credits.
