What is ChatCut?

ChatCut is a prompt-driven AI video editor that combines a desktop/browser timeline with agentic integrations. The site positions it as an AI assistant that watches footage, removes filler words, builds a first cut, and generates motion graphics, captions, images, video clips, and royalty-free music. Observed pricing starts at $25/month for 100 credits, with annual discounts around 10โ€“12%. The main differentiation is not just AI generation but AI-assisted editing inside a real timeline and agent workflows via ChatGPT and Claude Code. Revenue and growth are not public.
