What it does
Runway describes itself as a company building general world models, with three products on top of the same models. Runway Creative is a cloud-based suite for generating and editing video, images and audio in one workspace, aimed at individuals and teams. The site says more than 50 million creatives use it and invites visitors to try it free. Runway Dev is the platform for developers. It offers an API key, lets you combine several models and tasks into pipelines, and can trigger workflows through custom endpoints. Runway Robotics is an enterprise toolkit for running policy inference through photorealistic simulation, including evaluation and synthetic data generation, powered by its GWM-1 world model. The site highlights Gen-4.5 as its video model and GWM-1 as its general world model. The navigation also lists an Agent for creating, workflows, a Characters product, mobile apps and an MCP page. Pricing is on a separate page that this text does not reproduce.
