About Hera (YC S25)

Hera (YC S25) is your AI motion designer that creates professional animations in seconds. Video teams waste countless hours animating seconds of content. Motion design tools like After Effects require mastering complex user interfaces, turning creative work into button-clicking hell. Hera is the first AI motion designer that creates professional animations through conversation. Unlike video-gen tools, Hera generates code-based animations where every parameter can be fine-tuned through prompts or on-canvas editing, giving users the control of After Effects with the simplicity of Lovable. Hera has grown to a 6-figure ARR in less than 10 days after launching publicly.
