Show HN: iOS keyboard for on-demand GIF generation

3 defluyter 1 8/16/2025, 5:19:51 PM gifai.nl ↗

Got this idea last summer, and with AI video models improving since then, I started working on it more actively and just released it.

Right from the keyboard extension, you can prompt for any GIF and it will generate it on demand. Generation usually takes around 20 seconds (probably this will only get faster in the future). You get notified by a push notification when the generation has finished.

I have many more ideas to develop this further. I believe on demand GIFs bridge the gap between humor of different persons too, it allows you to convey a situation, a joke or an imagination way better. A way for AI to actually bring us closer as humans.

Try it out and let me know your thoughts!

Open source software gave us freedom. Now, some people want us to pay every time we use a local application. "On demand GIF," FFS, did you even once stopped and thought that it would be a bad idea? I mean, besides the idea of making money out of the latest hype?
