Repo: github.com/pika-labs/pika-plugins
Category: AI Media / Marketing Video
First Seen: August 13, 2026
Quality Tier: 🟢 Production core (ugc-ads, build-a-brand, founder-product-video, app-sizzle at 1.5K each)
Pika's official plugin pack turns a video model into a marketing production line. The business-relevant half covers UGC ads, brand building, founder product videos, app sizzle reels, app store screens, explainers, and podcast clips. The creative half covers hooks, personas, content direction, and the VFX family. For an agent that already has a video backend, these skills are the creative direction layer that decides what to generate and why.

Integration with CorpusIQ¶
CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.
This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.
Limitations / Verification¶
- Requires Pika as the generation backend - prompts are Pika-tuned
- Sports/entertainment skills are niche - skip unless that content vertical matters
- Verify install:
