Daily's developer platform powers audio and video experiences for millions of people worldwide, with customers using APIs and client SDKs to build features into applications and websites. The company is exploring automation in video editing as part of its AI Week initiative, with a focus on short-form video content that has become increasingly popular on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. This format combines the challenges of creating high-quality, engaging content quickly, while also requiring significant manual effort to produce polished results. Daily's solution, CutBot, uses a partnership between an expert system and a large language model (LLM) to automate video editing tasks, with the LLM making creative decisions and the expert system posing questions to guide the process. The company has developed an open-source tooling framework called VCSRender that enables batch rendering of short-form videos, which can be used in conjunction with CutBot's AI-powered video editing capabilities.
