Mavericks to Update NoLang with Enhanced Vertical Slide Functionality for TikTok and More

Mavericks Enhances NoLang for Vertical Slide Generation

Mavericks, a Tokyo-based startup, is set to introduce an update to its AI video generation tool, NoLang, enhancing its slide generation capabilities. This upcoming feature will allow users to create vertical slides specifically tailored for popular short video formats like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Scheduled for release by the end of April 2026, this upgrade aims to facilitate content creation in a format that is increasingly demanded in today’s mobile-first landscape.

The Rise of Vertical Content

As smartphone users increasingly consume content through mobile devices, platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are becoming crucial for businesses looking to enhance their digital communication. Recent statistics from Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs indicate that mobile internet usage continues to rise across all demographics, showcasing a growing demand for content that fits perfectly on smartphone screens.

Notably, by November 2025, a survey conducted by PLAN-B revealed that 58.7% of companies had already adopted vertical video ads, with nearly 60% rating them as more effective than other digital advertising formats. Moreover, research from GLAPentertainment indicated that over 70% of TikTok users spend more than 10 minutes in a single session, with a significant number expressing interest in products or places after viewing short videos. This trend emphasizes the effectiveness of mobile-optimized content, not merely as a means of recognition but as a powerful tool for shaping consumer behavior and driving purchases.

Conversely, many companies cite a significant challenge in content creation; 49.0% reported that the labor involved in creative production makes it difficult to produce content at volume. Approximately 62% are managing this by outsourcing content creation or utilizing a hybrid approach with both in-house and external partners. This situation underscores the need for companies to continuously produce mobile-optimized content without overwhelming their resources.

NoLang’s Capabilities for Vertical Content

In response to these challenges, Mavericks is excited to announce the upcoming vertical slide creation feature in NoLang. Users can input text or PDF documents into the tool, which will automatically generate slides customized for mobile viewing at a 9:16 aspect ratio. The upgrade also ensures that users can provide specific design instructions, whether they desire bright and playful graphics for social media feeds or a more approachable, handwritten style for recruitment campaigns.

Before the slide generation process, users can adjust layout settings in detail. The final output consists of five distinct sections: header, title, key message, body text, and footer. Users can toggle the display of each section and adjust their height, facilitating the output of vertical slides that align with their branding and information density without the need for extensive post-generation adjustments.

Significantly, NoLang’s slide generation feature is optimized for Japanese-language content, offering a variety of design options that cater specifically to Japanese business and social media cultures. This feature ensures a seamless design process that avoids the pitfalls often encountered with foreign AI tools, allowing for a natural fit within domestic marketing and communications.

Moreover, once the slides are created, they can be transformed into short videos within NoLang, enabling a fluid transition from static content to dynamic video presentations. With just a click, slides are prepared for video generation, complete with AI narration, subtitles, and avatars, creating engaging 9:16 short videos that enhance user engagement.

Flexible Editing and Utilization

Following the generation of slides, users have access to several editing modes equivalent to those used for horizontal slides. The three types of editing options include:
1. Text Editing Mode: This allows users to directly click on text elements within the slide and replace them with updated content, reflecting changes immediately.
2. AI Editing Mode: By simply inputting natural language commands, users can instruct AI to change design elements, modify text, or simplify layouts without compromising the overall format.
3. Page Insertion Mode: This feature allows AI to automatically add contextually relevant new pages in between existing ones, ensuring a coherent narrative flow.

The update broadens the use cases for these slides substantially. Companies can quickly generate slides for social media marketing, instructional content, and even digital signage displays. For instance, a slide can serve as a still image for an Instagram carousel and be converted into a short video with voice narration, bolstering information quality and viewer retention across varying platforms.

Additionally, the vertical slide format is exceptionally beneficial for digital signage solutions in retail environments, ensuring that promotional content is consistently fresh and relevant. Staff will have the ability to adapt content on the fly for timely messaging, significantly enhancing customer outreach through ubiquitous screens in physical locations.

Future Directions

Mavericks is committed to helping organizations streamline content creation with NoLang, ensuring that individuals can easily convert existing information into diverse and effective formats. By equipping companies to efficiently distribute their messages, Mavericks plays a pivotal role in addressing bottlenecks in corporate content generation and digital communication.
