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.

Agentic analytics that turns raw datasets into decision-ready reports in minutes
Upload a file and get an immediate data quality score plus an AI-written cleaning plan covering what to drop, what to preserve and why, along with an executive summary of possible story angles.
Specialised agents plan the approach, write the Python, execute and self-correct, then interpret results, with chain-of-thought transparency showing the reasoning, code and decisions at each step.
Each question produces a structured, permanent page with tables, charts, statistical tests and interpretation, and the workspace remembers prior pages so new work builds on earlier findings.
The platform detects your field automatically or accepts up to two manual selections from twelve specialisations, and applies appropriate methods such as IV/2SLS, GARCH or Cox proportional hazards.
