Luma Agents is a new agentic creative platform from Luma Labs that handles entire creative projects from brief to delivery — spanning text, image, video, and audio simultaneously. Powered by Luma's proprietary "Unified Intelligence" models, the agents can orchestrate multimodal workflows that used to require a team of specialists and weeks of production time. The platform made headlines with a live demo that reproduced a global brand's $15M year-long campaign — localized for multiple countries — in just 40 hours and under $20,000. Early enterprise partners include Publicis Groupe, Serviceplan, Adidas, and Mazda, signaling this is a serious production-grade tool, not a toy. Luma Agents isn't just another wrapper on top of generic models. Its tight vertical integration — from Dream Machine video to its own audio and image models — means the agents can iterate creatively in ways that multi-vendor setups simply can't. This is what the "post-production-stack" future looks like.

Rive creates interactive vector animations with state machines that run on web, iOS, Android, and Flutter. Tiny file sizes and runtime performance that Lottie can't match.
Reviewer scorecard
“If you're building creative pipelines for agencies or brands, this is the vertical integration story that standalone tools can't match. The unified model stack means less prompt-engineering glue and more coherent output across formats.”
“State machines for interactive animations are brilliant. Runtime SDKs for every platform and file sizes are tiny.”
“Enterprise-only with no public pricing is a red flag for anyone who isn't already Publicis Groupe. The $20K/40-hour campaign demo is impressive but cherry-picked — most brand work involves legal review, iteration cycles, and stakeholder approval processes that AI agents still can't handle.”
“Better than Lottie in every way — smaller files, interactive state machines, and cross-platform consistency.”
“This is the first credible proof point that AI agents can compress $15M of creative work into $20K. The advertising industry's labor economics are being rewritten in real time. Luma is playing to win the creative stack, not just a feature category.”
“For solo creators and small agencies, this could be the great equalizer — if they ever open it up beyond enterprise. The ability to localize a campaign across languages and formats in one agentic run is something I've been manually stitching together for years.”
“The animation editor is intuitive and state machines make interactive animations possible without code.”
