Clip and VOD assistant
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A streamer's editor watches hours of VOD each week to find the moments worth clipping, then writes chapters and titles for every upload.
// What we would build
An assistant that transcribes each VOD with an open-source model on servers you control, suggests moments worth clipping with their timestamps, and writes chapter markers and a first pass at titles and descriptions. Your editor picks, trims and approves; nothing is posted without them.
// What is in it
- VODs transcribed on servers you control
- Suggested clip moments with timestamps and a reason
- Chapter markers and a first pass at titles and descriptions
- Search across every past stream by what was said
