Protogen suits people who want to try AI video before paying: the starter energy should be enough to see whether you like it. Clip editing caught our eye, since many similar bots skip it. What bothers us is a loud description that names no specific models or prices.
At heart it's one more photo and video generator, wrapped in an upbeat brand. The bot's name mentions Seedance and Nano Banana, so those are probably what runs underneath, even though the description itself doesn't list any models.
Here's what it does: draws art, animates still photos, edits video and adds trending effects. Editing is the interesting part, because bots like this usually only generate and leave you to stitch things together in another app.
The in-bot currency is called energy. Newcomers get some for free; after that you top it up or earn it through invites. The exchange rate and the cost of a single generation show up in the menu rather than in advance.
There are only a few commands: main menu, invites, documents with guides, and help. Before starting, the bot asks you to accept its user agreement and data policy, which are worth at least skimming. No English version either, it's Russian throughout.
