Xingyu Liu will present Doki, a text-first tool for authoring generative video, at UIST 2026 in Detroit next week, where it received a Best Paper Honorable Mention. The post is mainly a video trailer, so we couldn't review the demo itself. Original post on X Section: Papers & Research

For researchers and creators working with generative video, Doki points to an interface approach where text drives video authoring. Watch for the full paper and any hands-on demo, since the current signal rests on a trailer and an award mention rather than a tested product.
