What they are

Captions

AI-first video editor focused on short-form content for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Automatic captions, eye-contact correction, AI avatars, and one-tap video creation from a script.

Ghost

Ghost is an independent publishing platform that combines a CMS, email newsletter tool, and membership system in one place. It is used by independent writers, journalists, and media companies who want to own their audience without relying on third-party platforms. The open-source core can be self-hosted for free, while Ghost Pro handles hosting at a monthly fee. The tradeoff is that it is more opinionated than WordPress and has a steeper learning curve for non-technical users.
