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.

TubeBuddy

TubeBuddy is a browser extension and dashboard that sits directly inside YouTube Studio, adding keyword research, A/B thumbnail testing, bulk processing tools, and SEO scoring to your workflow. It is used primarily by independent YouTubers and small channel teams who want data to guide upload decisions without hiring a dedicated analyst. The integration is tight and genuinely useful, though the most valuable features are locked behind paid tiers, and the free tier has been effectively removed.
