What it is

Backend plugin that calls xAI’s Grok-Imagine endpoint for text-to-video and image-to-video generation. Requires XAI_API_KEY in the environment. Vendored for wheel-packaging parity with image_gen_xai.

How to trigger it

  • “generează video cu…”
  • “fă un clip din imaginea asta”
  • “text-to-video”
  • “image-to-video”
  • Direct command: verifică doctrina
  • Auto-fires? no

How to use it

Operator supplies a prompt or attaches an image + prompt. Plugin routes the request to xAI, streams job status, and returns the finished video file or link when ready.

Practical examples

  1. you: “generează video cu un robot alergând pe plajă la apus” result: 5–8s clip delivered as Telegram video.
  2. you: (attach image) “transformă asta în video, zoom lent înainte” result: animated version of the source image returned.

Notes / limits

Requires valid XAI_API_KEY. Generation latency and output length depend on xAI quotas; monitor for rate-limit or credit exhaustion. No local fallback.
