Application
Generates and edits video and images from text and image prompts in the browser and in iOS and Android apps, with Aleph 2.0 for plain-language video edits and Ruby for SDR-to-HDR video conversion.
Real-time conversational video avatars made from a single image, for education, customer support, training simulation and gaming use cases; integrates via React SDK, LiveKit Agents or an embeddable widget.
Runway Data Augmentation expands a robot training set without new data collection, transforming existing trajectories into new environments, lighting conditions and object configurations with GWM-1.
Runway Offline Policy Evaluation simulates robot-policy rollouts in GWM-1 before deployment to hardware, surfacing failure modes and edge cases without touching a physical robot.
Runway Policy Model controls a robot with Runway's General World Model: GWM-1 predicts actions from live observations and proprioceptive state, fine-tuned to the customer's hardware, environment and tasks.
Node-based pipeline builder for chaining multiple Runway generative models and LLM steps into reusable, no-code creative workflows.
Developer tool
Reusable Dev API configuration that automatically selects the best generative model for a request based on configured cost/latency/quality preferences; not separately billed beyond underlying model usage.
Commercial licensing of Runway's video model weights, checkpoints and training scripts for self-hosted, on-premises or air-gapped fine-tuning and deployment, with forward-deployed researcher support.
Model API
Hosted API for video, image and audio generation models from Runway and partner labs, billed per generation.
Robot
Robot-policy platform built on GWM-1 (General World Model): policy inference from camera observations, offline policy evaluation via simulation, synthetic data generation, and video-model licensing for custom policy training.
Vapi sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Runway yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
Developer platform and API for building voice agents that handle phone and web calls: configure the voice, model and telephony, then test, deploy and monitor them.
