# Introduction

> What Rasu AI is, how it works with the AI app you already use, and where to start.

Rasu AI turns your stories into films, and keeps every character, place and shot consistent from the first scene to the last.

You don't open a new app to use it. You connect Rasu AI to the AI app you already use, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Codex, and ask for what you want in plain words. Your AI app does the talking. Rasu AI does the remembering and the making.

## How it fits together

1. **You** Talk to your AI app, in your own words.
2. **Your AI app** Asks Rasu AI to write, plan and generate.
3. **Rasu AI** Keeps your story, characters and shots consistent.
4. **Your folder** Gets every image and video, as the chat does.
