Edit video and podcasts by editing text
Edit audio and video by deleting, rearranging or retyping words in the automatic transcript, with a full multitrack timeline available when you need it.
Describe the edit you want in plain language and let the AI assistant assemble a tight cut, add clips and handle repetitive production work.
Remove background noise, level out voices, and fix misread lines with Regenerate Speech using a clone of your own voice.
Generate subtitles and transcripts in a click, translate video into other languages, and reformat long recordings into shareable vertical clips.

Bangla-native AI research lab building sovereign, low-resource models and on-premise infrastructure
Trains its own Bangla language, speech and multimodal models rather than only fine-tuning existing weights, including the 0.8B-parameter Sangbad-SLM news model.
Designs on-premise and private-cloud inference pipelines, MLOps, data governance and compute strategy so institutions run models on their own servers and data.
Research and pretraining techniques tuned for limited compute budgets, so capable models stay affordable to build and to operate at national scale.
Document intelligence, computer vision, predictive modelling and retrieval-augmented assistants delivered as working systems and evaluated against real-world data.
