Hello! At Descript we are bought in on AI agents - very pleased to announce something we've been working on for awhile: Our agentic video editor - i.e. cursor for video. Sign up to try it out at descript.com/agent

We launched AI avatars in Descript today. If you've seen other AI avatars and felt like "I have know how I could ever put something like this in front of my audience", check out Descript's take. They feel really fun, and they integrate seamlessly into Descript features like

Was listening to the Lenny podcast w/ the Cursor CEO… TL;DR where he sees programming going is that it’ll look more like you’re writing application logic in natural english language instead of code. Struck me that they’re basically operating on the same belief as us at

I didn't see this announced, but now when you ask ChatGPT for feedback, it'll leave comments on your canvas - so cool... and feels like something that's certain to be staple of the emerging interaction language for agentic editors

If you're not doing anything, I'm about to do a live video customer AMA to coincide with Descript's AI avatar release youtube.com/watch?v=Y_29wP… Now is your chance to ask how to correctly pronounce "Descript" and get an evasive answer!

Getting ready to ship a new AI thing in Descript that analyzes edit boundaries so it only makes good cuts when you remove filler words, etc.

What would "vibe editing" look like. Well, let's take a look shall we. This is Descript, which was first to release a product that uses AI agents to edit your videos. "The Cursor for Video Editing" they say. And it is. I think by the end of 2025 it will feel alot like

For founders trying to scale, these vibecoding tools feel like being a sober drug addict at burning man - the hardest transition we go through is learning how to stop doing the thing that got us there in the first place - building stuff - and delegating it to our teams.

What do I know, but all those people predicting that AI is going to create a bigger wealth/power gap in the short term, I'd bet on that atm. My sense is that not everyone goes through life with a certain kind of sensitivity to noticing problems, and I think the people who do -

We're reimagining Descript around agentic vibe editing - lots of talk about Cursor for Video but nothing is close to the truly open experience you get in Descript, go give it a try!

My 11 year old loves baseball - we've been watching lots of player interviews... and ChatGPT has now confirmed what I feared. Is this the general perception, that baseball players are the dumbest of the athletes?

I suspect the "idea guys" we made fun of 10 years ago will still get made fun of 10 years from now. The thing they lack, that AI doesn't necessarily solve, isn't just technical know-how; it's resourcefulness, the ability to "just find a way" to turn ideas into reality. I haven't
