Why we like it

Klutz GPT stands out in the aescripts library for putting ChatGPT-driven scripting and expression writing within reach, and the developer's own 'most unreliable' framing sets honest expectations.

What is Klutz GPT?

Klutz GPT from Hyper Brew connects ChatGPT to After Effects, using it to write scripts and expressions. The developer bills it, tongue in cheek, as the most unreliable way to write scripts and expressions for After Effects.

Version 1.2.1, released July 6, 2026, introduces a choice of models, including GPT 5.4 and 5.4-mini, offered for improved results. It also adds customizable default prompt presets and a new Help prompt template geared toward custom After Effects tutorials. Earlier releases in 2023 handled code snippet fixes and a chat history fix.

The plugin supports After Effects 2026 and 2025, and it sits at rank 38 in the aescripts library. It's listed as free here, so check Hyper Brew's page for current licensing. A demo video is also available on YouTube.
