What they are

Captions

Captions is a mobile-first AI video editor aimed at creators who produce talking-head content for social media. It auto-generates captions, removes filler words, corrects eye contact, and can clone your voice for overdubs. The app targets solo creators who want a post-production shortcut, though its desktop feature set is still catching up to its mobile counterpart.

StreamYard

StreamYard is a browser-based studio for live streaming and recording to platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitch simultaneously. Creators, marketers, and podcast hosts use it to bring on remote guests, display branded overlays, and go live without installing software. The free tier watermarks your stream, and the paid plans unlock multi-destination streaming and higher video quality.
