Runway is an AI company with three platforms built on the same world models. Runway Creative is a cloud-based suite for generating and editing video, images and audio in one workspace. Runway Dev is an API platform for developers who want Runway's models and other labs' models with production-ready output. Runway Robotics provides a toolkit for policy inference and synthetic data through photorealistic simulation. Its video model Gen-4.5 is described as having state-of-the-art motion quality, prompt adherence and visual fidelity.
Filmmakers, ad agencies, social media producers and independent artists use Creative to produce footage and visuals without a traditional shoot. The company says more than 60 million creatives use it, and iPhone and Android apps let people create anywhere. Small creative groups can use the Team Plan, which offers shared projects, pooled credits and Brand Kits for two to nine seats. Developers building media features into their products use Runway Dev, and robotics teams and enterprises can contact sales.
Use cases include creating video from a prompt with an agent, building a repeatable workflow for a recurring content format, and editing image, video and audio assets in one project. Enterprises explore video generation for marketing at scale, with themes such as data sovereignty and cost economics. Research announcements show where the company is heading: GWM Worlds 2 generates interactive worlds in real time, and Solaris generates interactive interfaces frame by frame with no code. Anyone can try Runway for free and cancel anytime, which makes it easy to test the video model before committing a production budget.
