Plotagon AB is a Swedish company founded in 2013 by Philip Edner, Peter Nilsson, and Christopher Kingdon, with Filip Grufman currently serving as the CEO. The company developed an application that instantly transforms written text into animated 3D videos. Initially launched in 2014, the software combines gaming technology with classic film production and screenwriting principles. On November 26, 2020, Plotagon was acquired by Goodbye Kansas Group.
The company's primary product, Plotagon Education, enables students and teachers to create animated movies simply by typing. Users can select or create characters, choose from a library of scenes, write dialogue, and add emotions, actions, music, and sound effects. The dialogue is then read out by computer-generated text-to-speech voices, or users can record their own. The platform is designed to be intuitive, making video creation accessible to users with no animation experience, including young students. It is available on multiple platforms, including Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android.
Plotagon operates on a subscription-based business model. While a free consumer version with limited features exists, the educational and business-focused products require a subscription. For the education market, Plotagon offers yearly licensing fees per class, with volume licensing available for schools and districts. The academic tier for faculty, staff, and students with an academic email is offered at a monthly or yearly rate. The application serves as a tool for creative writing, language learning, presenting assignments, and discussing complex topics in an engaging way. It also includes features for a private digital classroom where students can share work for peer review under teacher supervision.
