Viggle is a privately held, Canada‑based generative AI company focused on controllable video and character animation. The company builds AI technology that allows users to animate characters using images, videos, or text prompts, emphasizing realistic motion, physics‑aware movement, and precise control over character actions.
Unlike many AI video platforms that focus on cinematic visuals or fully hallucinated scenes, Viggle differentiates itself by prioritizing motion accuracy, character consistency, and directability, making it especially appealing to creators, marketers, and digital artists who want predictable results.
Viggle was founded in 2022 by Hang Chu, a computer vision and generative AI researcher with prior experience in advanced research roles across major technology companies and academic institutions. His background in graphics, 3D modeling, and AI research strongly influenced Viggle’s technical direction.
The founding vision centered on democratizing animation, reducing reliance on traditional animation pipelines such as rigging, keyframes, or motion‑capture hardware. Instead, Viggle aimed to make animation controllable and accessible through natural inputs such as images, videos, and text commands.
Viggle is venture‑backed and completed a major institutional funding round in 2024.
