About Yarn
Make sales and marketing videos with AI.
Yarn uses AI to help founders, salespeople, and marketers make product and sales videos. Teams are using Yarn to make sales collateral, launch videos, use-case demos, training guides, and feature updates for Twitter and LinkedIn. No video experience needed and everything looks great out-of-the-box – think Notion, Linear, or Stripe-quality – but branded for your team. The magic really comes from AI (TTS, CV, LLMs) – so you can zip through 5x faster than a Loom.
