Start a chat and find your chats

Start a chat with a clip, pictures, a sound or just words, bring your files, say Routix it when you want something made — and find every chat again.

Updated 5 min read Copy page

A chat is a conversation with ROUTIX about something you want made. You describe it; ROUTIX looks at what you bring, plans the work and makes it, step by step, showing you what it is doing.

Start a chat

  1. Press New chat in the sidebar (or on the Chats page). Nothing is created until you send your first message or file. You can also start from ROUTIX's home page: write in Give Routix a direction and your words become the chat's first message.
  2. Say what you want made: "Tell me what you want made." Start with a clip, with pictures, or with nothing but a description.
  3. Bring your files (below), and talk it through. ROUTIX answers, asks one question at a time when it needs to, and tells you what it sees.
  4. When you want it made, say Routix it. That is the word that starts the work — until you say it, ROUTIX talks and listens, and nothing is made or spent on making.
  5. Press Enter to send (Shift+Enter starts a new line). While ROUTIX works, the send button becomes Stop.

Your first message names the chat; rename it any time from the Chats page.

Bring your files

Press + — "Add a video or a sound" — or the picture button:

  • Video to edit — "Opens the timeline to pick moments": the clip ROUTIX will change.
  • Video as reference — "ROUTIX studies it — no timeline": a clip to learn from, never the one that is changed.
  • Audio — "Your voice or a sound file": a sound you hand over for the video.
  • Upload reference image — pictures of a person, a product, a place or a look you want used.

Each opens your Gallery, where you can upload from your device — or on a phone, Take a photo or Take a video — or pick something you already have. Picked files wait above the box until you send.

Each picture you send can be given its role in How Routix should use this reference: Identity, Scene, Style, Element, Pose / motion, Lighting or Color palette. Leave it, and ROUTIX works out the role from your words.

  • Up to 5 pictures travel with one message; any more stay attached, ready for your next one. Over a chat you can bring as many as you like.
  • A message can be up to 40,000 characters.
  • A file the chat cannot take is turned away before any of it lands, with a sentence that says why — too large, or not the kind of file it was offered as — and what to send instead.

What a chat costs

Every message has a price, shown on the Credits page under In the chat. A message that starts a make — your Routix it — also pays for the planning, and what it then makes is priced on its own. Credits are held when your message is saved and kept when it is answered; if no answer comes, or the make delivers nothing, they come back.

The chat shows no price card before it starts: Routix it begins the work at once. In How I'll make this, each model you can choose shows its price beside it before anything is made. You can ask the chat what it has spent, and it answers from your credit record.

The Chats page

Chats in the sidebar lists every chat as a folder card — its name, what it holds and when, and a live word: In the studio while something is being made, Needs you while a take waits for your answer.

  • Search with Search your chats; sort by Last activity, Created or Name; Show more for older chats.
  • Press a file on a card to see it whole, or Open chat.
  • A card's menu: Browse all files, Download all, Rename, Delete.
  • Download all hands each file to your browser in turn, named after the chat.
  • Delete asks first — Keep it or Delete chat. A chat that is still working is asked to stop first; delete it again once it has stopped.

Search in the sidebar finds a chat by its name or description among your recent chats.

Frequently asked questions

Why hasn't ROUTIX made anything yet?

Because you have not said Routix it. Until then ROUTIX talks with you, looks at what you bring and plans — so you can change your mind freely. Words like "make it" or "go" are read as part of your idea, not as the start.

Bring the video file itself with + — that is the clip ROUTIX can work on.

Where did my projects go?

"Projects are now Chats — every chat you have is here." Nothing was lost; they are on the Chats page.
