The problem it solves

You have several video clips to combine into one piece of content, but stitching them together and adding subtitles eats up time you don't have. Doing this by hand for every batch of clips is repetitive and error-prone.

Who it fits

Content creators, social media managers, and agencies who produce short-form video in volume.

How it works

  1. You send multiple video clips to the bot through chat
  2. Each clip is saved and held in a queue you can review
  3. When you say merge, the clips are combined into one video
  4. AI transcribes the audio and burns in styled subtitles
  5. The finished, subtitled video is sent back to you in chat
What you get

Subtitled videos ready to review before posting

You send in your video clips and get back one merged, subtitled video, ready for you to check and post.

What you get

A single merged video with burned-in subtitles, delivered directly back to you.

What you need

A messaging bot account and a server to run the video processing and database.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
