Alchemys review
A shot-focused AI workspace for turning story briefs into connected visuals and clips.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Alchemys Storyboard is a browser-based AI workspace for creators planning cinematic shots and building storyboard visuals or video clips. It starts with a story brief, turns that brief into a numbered shot list, and lets users write or refine prompts for each shot. Still images and video clips can be generated per shot, making the product suited to creators who want a structured path from narrative idea to connected AI video sequence.
Its standout capability is shot continuity. Users can chain frames between consecutive shots and work with first, last, and reference images to guide visual progression. The list view provides a sequential planning format, while the node-based Canvas view offers another way to arrange shots. Finished clips can be assembled into one film or downloaded individually. The paid, credit-based model is central to the workflow, and new accounts receive starter credits; creators should therefore plan their production around credit consumption rather than an unlimited free tier.
Alchemys also connects reference-image workflows with Google Drive and Studio files. Its shared sign-in, file library, model catalogue, and credit balance create a connected workspace around the storyboard process. The product is a good fit for creators who value numbered shot planning, prompt refinement, reference images, and continuity in one web tool. It is less suitable for teams seeking a broader production-management system, collaboration features beyond the described storyboard workflow, or delivery requirements centered on platforms other than the web. Buyers who need a narrow, shot-linked AI video workflow should find the feature set relevant; those needing wider production coordination should consider an alternative.
