# Phantomline

> Phantomline is a local-first AI video studio for faceless YouTube creators.
> It replaces the typical 7-tool SaaS stack (script generator, voiceover,
> music library, stock visuals, video editor, scheduler, thumbnail tool)
> with one local install. Creators can bring their own API key from
> Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), or OpenRouter —
> Gemini and OpenRouter offer free tiers with no credit card. Or run
> fully offline with Ollama (Llama 3.1), Kokoro TTS, MusicGen, and
> ffmpeg. A browser-only version runs via WebGPU and WebAssembly.
