Make a history POV vlog with AI
This template makes a vertical "POV, you're a ___ in ___" video, 20 to 45 seconds long. A character from the past holds the camera like a vlogger and talks about their day, with three or four real details from the time and nothing anachronistic but the camera. Hobb, a 14th-century turnip farmer, stars by default. Ask for another era or role, a Roman legionary or a Victorian chimney sweep, and the agent designs that character and saves it.

Hobb
A lanky medieval peasant in his thirties with ruddy cheeks, a gap-toothed grin, messy straw-blond hair and beard, a brown wool hood, a patched linen tunic, a rope belt and worn leather shoes.

In the example
The lines from the example video at the top of this page.
Hobb: Okay, tax collector's coming. Suddenly every turnip looks suspicious.
Hobb: Our village owes its fifteenth again. Even muddy roots look taxable.
Hobb: The Crown needs money for war. Apparently, turnips don't count as coin.
Hobb: I grow roots, not royal treasure. This tax system has flaws.
Hobb: Barley bread and pottage for supper. A feast, if I squint.
Hobb: I offered the collector a turnip. He wanted coin. No humor.
Questions
Are the historical details accurate?
The agent picks a specific day and works in three or four real facts from the time, checking uncertain ones with a web search. It doesn't invent dates, and you can ask it to change any detail.
Can I pick any era or role?
Yes. Write who and when, for example a scribe in ancient Egypt or a knight at a famous battle. Hobb covers ordinary medieval life; for anything else the agent designs a new character and saves it to your library.
Is it suitable for battles and darker history?
Yes, without gore. Battles and hard times are shown through the character's eyes and sounds, not graphic violence.
What languages does it work in?
Write the brief in any language and the character's lines and captions come out in that language.
How long are the videos and what format?
20, 30 or 45 seconds, vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, with a POV hook card in the first frame and captions on every line.
