Be the café people remember,
one video at a time.

A character and a story people follow, made with AI.

Meet your character

No shoot days

We bring it to life with AI.

No guesswork

We come up with the stories.

Be remembered

Your café stays on their minds.

A tired café owner leaning on the counter after closingPhoto to come: a café owner behind the counter after closing, phone in hand, their page stuck on a post from weeks ago.

You’ve tried posting. It’s hard to keep up.

You opened with big plans for your page. The first week, you posted every day. Then a supplier ran late, a staff member called in sick, and posting slipped. Now your last post is three weeks old, and the café down the street just went viral.

That’s not a you problem.

Even that viral post won’t last. Research tracking real store visits found online buzz brings people in the next day, then fades within a week.

So one good post isn’t enough. You have to keep showing up with something new, and that wears anyone down.

Two friends laughing at a video on a phonePhoto to come: two friends laughing at a funny video on a phone. The café in the video is nowhere to be seen.

Funny isn’t enough.

People laugh, share, and forget whose video it was.

Studies show people remember the joke and forget the brand, unless the brand is part of the joke.

  • The café sits in the background while the joke steals the show.
  • The brand pops up out of nowhere, with no reason to be there.
  • It feels like a sales pitch, so people scroll past.

So we don’t make random clips. We make series where your café is the star.

Characters people want to see again.

That’s what we create at Orambutan. And the more often people see something they enjoy, the more they warm to it, so every new episode brings your café back to mind.

Meet a few of our characters:

Boss Sisaw and Glycy the hippo

“One guy with a Tesla. One pet hippo. Every trip is an adventure.”

Standalone skits, plus a new series with episode 1 out.

Bokbok the hamster

“When the power goes out, the whole neighborhood counts on Bokbok.”

A series: two episodes out, viewers asking for part three.

Video to come: a sample episode with a character made for a café.

Now imagine one for your café.

Your character lives at your café. Every story happens there, and every good moment comes from what you serve. It feels like a story, not an ad.

Yes, it’s made with AI, and that’s the point.

The ideas, the characters and the stories come from us. AI just brings them to life.

How it works

Start with a pilot to meet your character. If you like it, continue with a monthly series. There’s no commitment after the pilot.

Start with a pilot

₱5,000 one time

About a week from our visit to your first episode.

  1. We get to know your café. We visit, try your best-sellers, look at your page, and learn who your customers are and what sets you apart.
  2. Pick your character. We pitch two or three character ideas made for your café and the people you want to reach. You choose, and we can test them with your staff and regulars.
  3. Watch the pilot. We make a 30-second first episode with your chosen character. You approve it or ask for changes.

Then, if you like it, continue the series

₱16,000 /month
  1. New episodes keep coming. Eight 30-second episodes a month. You post them, and we fine-tune the character based on how people respond, shaping each new episode around what works. Continue after the pilot, and we take ₱5,000 off your first month.

Every plan includes the concept, script, editing and two rounds of revisions.

What success looks like

  • A customer walks in and asks about your character by name.
  • Your posts get shared instead of scrolled past.
  • Your café becomes one people remember.

We watch how people respond to each episode and shape the next ones around what works.

Questions café owners ask

Do I need to film anything?

No. At the start, we take a few photos and short clips of your space and products, or you can send them. After that, we handle the rest.

What if the character doesn’t fit?

Nothing goes ahead until you approve it. If none of the ideas feel right, we pitch new ones before the pilot. If the character doesn’t click with people after a few episodes, we adjust it or switch to another concept.

Who owns the character?

You do. The character belongs to your café. We create the episodes.

Does it always have to be funny?

No. Funny is our specialty, but your series can be heartwarming, dramatic or a little mysterious, whatever suits your café.

Can you put me or my staff in the videos?

Yes. With a few photos from different angles, we can create realistic versions of you. We only do this with written permission.

Can I get a longer episode for a launch or event?

Yes. Special episodes of 45 seconds to one minute are available as an add-on. Message us for a quote.

How do I pay?

Through GCash. You pay 50% upfront to get started and the rest on delivery. For the Series, it’s billed monthly.

Not a café?

We also work with milk tea shops, restaurants and other food spots. Message us and tell us about your place.

Every great series starts with a pilot.

Send us a message. We’ll ask a few questions about your café and book a visit.
