Overview Pollo AI | Vidu AI is an advanced AI video generation tool integrated into the Pollo AI platform. Originally developed by Zhu Jun in 2023, Vidu AI has gained attention for its ability to create high-quality, cinematic videos with fast processing times. Backed by significant investment, including from Ant Group and Baidu, it has positioned itself as a strong competitor in the AI video space. On Pollo AI, users can access Vidu AI through a streamlined interface that supports both image-to-video and text-to-video workflows. By uploading an image or entering a description, users can generate professional-grade videos with full customization over style, duration, resolution, and aspect ratio. Vidu AI also comes with a Templates Lab, offering pre-built creative templates (like Hug, Kiss, or Christmas Toast) to quickly craft personalized clips. For inspiration, users can browse Vidu Studio, a collection of pre-existing videos that demonstrate different styles and settings. These examples help creators learn how to craft better prompts and configure outputs. Combined with Pollo AI’s broader ecosystem of video models (Runway, Veo, Seedance, Pika Labs, etc.), Vidu AI offers one of the most flexible and accessible platforms for high-quality AI-driven video creation.

How this was decided

Not an editorial call. Pollo AI's check failed three syncs in a row, and the 3-miss rule marks it discontinued automatically. If the vendor page comes back, the registry restores it on its own: warn first, then active. Both directions are recorded as events.
