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.

Swell AI

Swell AI ingests podcast episodes, YouTube videos, or audio files and generates transcripts, show notes, blog posts, social clips, and newsletters from a single upload. It targets podcasters and video creators who want to repurpose content without hiring a writer. The output quality is solid for first drafts but typically needs editing before publishing. A free tier exists with limited monthly credits.
