Start with a working example.
Use the plugin’s documentation and example projects to give your agent a concrete starting point.
Introducing Tesseract, the video creative suite built for agents.
Keyframes, adjustment layers, compositions, timing, and sound are native parts of a Tesseract project. Your agent works with video elements directly, instead of translating an edit into HTML or React.

Set up Tesseract by Mirage so you can edit videos and create motion graphics in this agent’s environment. Read https://github.com/mirage-hq/Tesseract and check the requirements for this local or hosted environment. If it is supported, follow the official plugin or skills installation guide, use its required runtime version, verify the download checksum, and confirm a short preview renders correctly. Then ask me for my footage or the video I want to make. Keep the editable project and source assets with the finished render.
Give your agent the engine.
Let it skip the interface.
Tesseract lets your agent edit projects and render video without opening Premiere or After Effects. That means more focus on creative decisions, less on clicking through menus.

Professional video has a language. Now your agent speaks it.
Instead of translating from HTML, your agent works with the tools of professional video—so the result feels crafted, not coded.

without mastering a
different tool for every step.
Make the cut, animate the graphics, and shape the audio through one agent working on one connected project. You don’t need to learn a separate application for every discipline.

A closer look at Tesseract.
What you can make, how it works, and what you need to get started.
What is Tesseract?
Tesseract is a creative suite built for AI agents. Its native engine combines video editing, motion graphics, compositing, and sound in one editable project. It runs locally on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
How can I edit a video with ChatGPT or Claude?
Use the Tesseract plugin or skills in a supported agent environment. Give your agent footage and a brief, review a preview, then revise and render the same editable project. ChatGPT Mobile can use its hosted environment; local agents can use a supported computer.
Can an AI agent create motion graphics with Tesseract?
Yes. Tesseract supports full motion-design scenes and overlays on footage, including animated typography, keyframes, easing, compositions, and adjustment layers. Describe the result and refine its timing and design with your agent.
Can I make social ads and product launch videos?
Yes. Bring footage, screen recordings, brand assets, and audio. Direct your agent to combine the edit with graphics and sound, then revise the hook, pacing, or framing for the campaign you are making.
Can I change one part without recreating the whole video?
Yes. Tesseract keeps the project editable. Your agent can change a title, adjust a keyframe, move a clip, or rebalance audio while keeping the rest of the project in place.
How is Tesseract different from HTML or React video tools?
Tesseract uses a native creative project model built around video layers, compositions, timing, and sound. Agents work directly with editing concepts rather than representing the video as a webpage or a React application.
Is Tesseract free to use?
The local creative engine is free, including local preview and rendering. Your AI agent’s subscription or model usage costs are separate. You do not need an Adobe subscription to use Tesseract.
What computer and agent setup do I need?
Tesseract runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Your local agent needs access to the project files and permission to run tools. ChatGPT Mobile and supported hosted agents can run the engine in their own environments. Follow your platform guide and the official release requirements.
Do I need to know how to code or use After Effects?
You can direct the creative work in plain language through the plugin. Tesseract gives the agent editing documentation and examples. Developers can also use the binary and documented interfaces directly.
Can I use another agent or build my own video editor?
Yes. The standalone engine has documented interfaces and runnable examples. Connect another agent, or ask it to build manual controls for timing, typography, color, and framing around the same editable project.
Does Tesseract generate footage or AI avatars?
Tesseract focuses on editing existing media and creating motion graphics. Bring recorded or generated footage, images, and audio into the project. Footage generation and avatar creation are separate tools.
How is Tesseract related to Captions?
Mirage makes both products. Tesseract is the engine and agent product. Captions is the app and cloud workspace, powered by Tesseract. Local Tesseract use requires no Mirage account. Captions services are separate from the local plugin release.
Can Tesseract export in 4K at 60 FPS?
Yes. Set the project’s delivery resolution to 4K and frame rate to 60 FPS, then render the finished video. Keep the editable source for future revisions. Output settings do not add missing detail or new motion frames to low-resolution or low-frame-rate source footage.
Can I use Tesseract with Muse, Grok Bot, or Instinct?
Yes. Tesseract has dedicated setup pages for Muse, Grok Bot, and Instinct. The agent needs a compatible execution environment and access to your media. Keep the project and source assets when you download the finished video.
