Coverage of Pika Labs — the AI video startup that pivoted from frontier model competition to multi-model orchestration with the April 28, 2026 launch of Pika Agents.
Pika Labs began as one of the loudest AI video model brands of 2024–2025 and reintroduced itself on April 28, 2026 as Pika Agents — a conversational, persistent AI creative partner that orchestrates across rivals’ video models including Kling, MiniMax, Veo 3, Seedance 2.0, and Sora alongside Pika’s own video model. Earlier 2026 product moves include PikaStream 1.0 (April 2), the live AI video engine for real-time avatar meetings now folded into the agent product. See the AI Video Stack for full model coverage.
