Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Poolday (poolday.ai) develops an autonomous agent for video, image and audio production, positioned by the company as a "media superintelligence." The agent learns a user's style from uploaded brand guidelines and reference material, edits and assembles supplied footage into a complete cut, selects whichever AI models a given task requires, and runs its own quality-assurance pass on outputs before delivery. Users interact with it conversationally, describing the video they want, after which the agent plans, edits and delivers a finished cut.

Outputs are layer-by-layer editable, so a single element can be changed without regenerating the whole video. The product imports Lottie, Figma and NLE files so existing designs and motion are preserved. Poolday is collaborative by default: one team member trains the agent and other members can prompt it in plain language and reuse each other's skills, components and outputs. Larger customers can build their own interfaces and applications inside Poolday around their team's workflows. The company presents use-case entry points for B2B companies, apps and games, generative-AI studios, and real estate.

Business model

Subscription software sold month-to-month with no lock-in, with an introductory first-month price of $499 and per-output economics stated at roughly $5–$25 per finished video.

Recurring monthly subscription pricing tied to finished video output volume.

▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market

Market position

Positions itself as a business-grade alternative to generic AI video generators, with customer testimonials describing it as a video editing agent suitable for production use.

The company contrasts its output with single-click generic AI generation, emphasizing on-brand business-grade results, granular element-level editing rather than full regeneration, built-in automated quality control, preservation of imported design and motion assets, and shared team-level agent training.

Technology

A multi-model agent architecture that routes tasks to whichever generative AI model suits the job, combined with style learning from brand guidelines and references, import of Lottie, Figma and NLE project files, layer-level editability of generated outputs, and an automated self-QA step that checks and corrects work for brand compliance, safety and quality before delivery.
