Luma AI

What is Luma AI?

Luma AI is a creative platform for producing video, images and audio from a written brief. Its agents take a brief, route each step across Luma's Ray models and third-party models, and carry shared context through to finished deliverables such as hero images, short ads with sound and platform-ready formats. You direct the work in natural language, so no prompt engineering or node wiring is needed, and uploaded product shots, brand guidelines and references improve the first pass. Video generation is billed in credits that depend on the model, mode and resolution, with options covering text-to-video, image-to-video, video-to-video and reframing in models such as Ray3.2 and Ray3.14, plus Kling and Seedance models. Individual plans are Plus at $30/month, Pro at $90/month and Ultra at $300/month, with yearly billing lowering each rate by up to 20%, and Team and Enterprise plans are quoted on request. A separate Dream Machine API uses its own credits.
