Paste a product link. Get a finished ad. No camera, no crew, no editor - just an AI video agent and a digital human that does the talking.

For most of advertising's history, a product video meant a booking: a studio, a camera operator, an actor reading lines, an editor stitching it together over a week or two. Topview AI was built on a simple, slightly uncomfortable bet - that a machine could do nearly all of it, and do it in minutes.
Topview is a Singapore-based generative-AI company whose flagship product is an "AI Video Agent." You give it a product link, a set of images, or a few lines of text. It reads the details, writes a script, chooses the clips, generates a voiceover, adds fast captions, and drops in a digital-human presenter who can talk about - and physically hold - the product on screen. What comes out the other end is a short-form ad shaped for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.
The problem it targets is cost and speed. Traditional UGC-style ads - the loose, authentic-feeling reviews that perform well on social feeds - require creators, shoots, and coordination. Topview's pitch is that an ecommerce brand can generate that same style of content on demand, without cameras or influencers, and scale it far past what a human production pipeline could manage.
That is who the customers are: ecommerce brands, performance marketers, agencies, and individual creators. Some are one-person shops making a handful of ads a month at the platform's roughly $16/month entry tier. Others are enterprises - the company counts L'Oreal, ANTA, and Anker among its brand clients - running content at volume.
By early 2026 the numbers had grown large enough to be worth stating plainly: more than five million users across 120-plus countries, generating over 500,000 videos a day. Those are the figures the company reports, and they mark the distance travelled from a 2022 idea to a platform running at industrial scale.
“Topview 4.0 aims to do for video what Figma did for design and Google Docs did for writing.
Topview is less a single app than a stack of tools that share one job: compress the parts of video-making that people find tedious.
Turns a link, image, or prompt into a finished video - script, clip selection, voiceover, captions, and avatar handled automatically.
Produces authentic-looking user-review style ads with AI avatars, so brands can scale organic-feeling content without influencers.
Paste a product URL; it pulls the details and imagery and assembles a UGC-style short ad with presenter, voiceover, and captions.
Creates digital presenters that can speak, gesture, and physically pick up and hold a product on screen - not just talk about it.
Generates and clones voices for narration across multiple languages, matching tone to the brand.
A collaborative, all-in-one content workspace with multi-model routing, real-time editing, brand governance, and Adobe/Figma hand-off.
Topview runs on a familiar SaaS model: monthly subscriptions that scale with output and collaboration. Entry plans sit around $16 a month - deliberately low enough for a single marketer to justify - while higher tiers open up team features, brand asset governance, and the volume that agencies and enterprises need.
The economics of that model showed up early. After releasing its V2.0 platform, the company reported recurring revenue growing more than 50% month over month, the kind of curve that tends to appear when a tool solves a painful, repetitive task that a whole market shares at once.
Where it fits in the market is a crowded, fast-moving neighbourhood: AI video and avatar tools like HeyGen, Synthesia, Arcads, Creatify, and Captions, plus the traditional production shops and creator marketplaces it aims to undercut. Topview's differentiator is its ecommerce-first workflow - the link-to-ad pipeline and product-holding avatars - and, with 4.0, a push toward collaboration rather than solo generation.
Kamet Capital did not just fund Topview - it incubated it, offering early workspace, help setting up the Singapore HQ, and business-development doors across Southeast Asia.
Topview is not a first-timers-in-a-dorm story. CEO Jensen Wu spent roughly 15 years in product management before founding the company; the idea grew out of watching how slow and expensive traditional processes were. Co-founder Albert Chen brings nearly two decades in mobile systems. They started Topview in 2022.
