AI News Robot Anchor — meet Nova

Nova is a friendly robot with light-up eyes and a mouth made of equalizer bars that dance with your voice. Put her in the news studio, paste this week's AI or tech headlines, record, and you have a news-anchor segment without stepping in front of a camera.

A robot host for AI and tech news

AI news and tech explainers are a fast-growing faceless niche, and a robot anchor is a natural fit: it matches the topic, it is instantly recognisable in a feed, and nobody expects a robot to have your face. Nova's mouth is made of light, so instead of lips she shows an equalizer that follows the loudness and sounds of your voice — a look viewers read as 'synthetic' even though the voice is yours.

She has hands for gestures, seven expressions (her eyes change shape) and several colour schemes. For a weekly news format, use the news studio scene with a breaking-news bar template underneath; for a calmer science explainer, the space scene works well.

  • Weekly AI news open

  • Tech explainer

    “What does it mean when a phone has an 'NPU'? It's a small chip built for one job: running AI features fast, without sending your photos to the cloud.”

  • Market recap Short

    “Chip stocks had a wild week. Here's what moved, why it moved, and the one number to watch on Monday. This isn't financial advice.”

How it works

  1. Paste your script. Nova reads it from a karaoke-style teleprompter.
  2. Record your voice in the browser, or upload an MP3, WAV or M4A.
  3. Pick a scene, framing and subtitles, then download the video.

Tips for a credible news-style channel

Credibility is everything in news: say where a story comes from, separate facts from your opinion, and date your videos — AI moves weekly. Add a 'not financial advice' card on market segments; the money templates include one.

Use the same colour scheme and scene every episode so the format is recognisable. Pair Nova with a lower third for the headline and a ranking or chart template for numbers. If you want a human-looking anchor instead, the Narrator character can be customised.

Questions

Is Nova an AI voice generator?
No. Nova speaks with your own recorded voice; nothing is generated by AI. If you prefer a synthetic voice, you can make it elsewhere and upload the MP3, WAV or M4A.
Can I put Nova over my own news footage?
Yes. Export her on a green screen or as a transparent .mov (up to 30 seconds), or use the corner badge framing, and place her over your footage in the editor.
Can I monetize an AI news channel with a robot anchor?
Yes, the video file is yours to publish and monetize. What YouTube's Partner Program does not pay for is inauthentic content: mass-produced or repetitive uploads with little original work. Your own script, voice and point of view are what make a channel eligible, not the drawing.
