The Problem

Video Editing Shouldn't Be This Hard

Solo creators spend more time fighting tools than telling stories. There has to be a better way.

Timeline Complexity

Traditional NLEs were built for film studios with dedicated editors. Solo creators shouldn't need a manual to cut a video.

AI Can't See Your Screen

Telling AI 'make the text at 2:15 in the upper right corner red' is painful. You should just be able to point at it.

Same Tasks, Every Project

Subtitles, color correction, audio leveling, silence removal — the same tedious work on every single video.

The Solution

Point. Click. Direct.

Words can't always describe what you see. AKARI lets you show your AI partner exactly what you mean.

Click on the Screen

Point at any element — a clip, a title, a color. Say 'change this' and AI knows exactly what you mean.

Select on the Timeline

Drag to select a range. 'Remove this section' or 'add a transition here.' Precise, visual, instant.

AB

Show a Reference

Drop in an example. 'Make it look like this.' AI analyzes the style and applies it to your project.

AI Partner

AI That Actually Edits for You

Not a chatbot suggesting prompts — a partner that sees your timeline, understands your style, and executes edits.

Auto Subtitles

Accurate transcription with styled captions. Multi-language support. One click, done.

Smart Cuts

Detects silences, filler words, and dead air. Cleans up your timeline automatically.

AI Color Grading

Say 'make it more cinematic' or 'match the colors from this reference.' AI adjusts every clip.

Platform

Start with Video. Grow into Everything.

AKARI begins as your AI video editor — and evolves into a full creative platform with one partner that knows everything about your work.
