Latenode

Generate AI video from a prompt and send it on Telegram

This template starts when you send a text prompt in Telegram, renders a short video with OpenAI video generation, waits for the file, and sends it back in the same chat.

Use it for social clips, product teasers, or draft concepts without opening a separate video studio. Connect Telegram. Point the trigger at the bot chat you will message. OpenAI video generation is a Latenode AI step.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
