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.
