The backstory
Fliki turns text and blog posts into narrated videos using AI voices and stock footage. Both halves of that stack got commoditized: Sora and other video models generate clips from a prompt, while high-quality text-to-speech is now cheap or free through many providers. Fliki is wounded because its assembly workflow still saves time for faceless-video creators, but the components it stitched together are no longer scarce or premium.
