Hera is an AI motion designer that automates the tedious aspects of creating motion graphics, transforming what typically takes five hours in Adobe After Effects into a five-minute task. Users describe animations in plain English, customize them with on-canvas editing, and maintain brand consistency through custom brand kits. Since launching in May 2025, the company attracted 100,000 waitlist signups within eight weeks, saw users create over 200,000 animations in its first two weeks, and reached six-figure ARR within 10 days of public launch. Founded in 2025, Hera was part of YC's Summer 2025 batch.
