Executive Summary

Many creators and small marketing teams spend hours manually clipping podcasts, webinars, and livestreams into short-form TikToks, Reels, and Shorts—a process that commonly takes 2–6 hours per long-format video and requires editing skill that teams often lack. This churn limits output frequency and makes it hard to capitalize on short-form distribution at scale. You could build an AI-driven pipeline that ingests long videos, runs speech-to-text and semantic highlight detection, and outputs platform-formatted clips with captions, thumbnails, and scheduling-ready metadata, with an optional human-in-the-loop editor for quality control. The product would batch-process libraries, offer platform-specific templates, and integrate with creator tools and upload APIs to save time and centralize workflows. The timing is strong: a $6.0B addressable market (≈200M creators and small teams × $30 ARPU/year), an 88/100 market score, and broad demand driven by short-form dominance and rapid improvements in speech, summarization, and video-understanding AI. Revenue potential is promising (82/100), but competition is high and buyers are price- and quality-sensitive. To stand out, focus on measurable time-savings (e.g., reduce repurposing time by 50–80%), superior context-aware selection models plus an elegant human review flow, and features for teams/agencies (collaboration, analytics, native uploads). Be upfront that technical edge and trusted quality are the hardest parts—so prioritize reliability, clear ROI metrics, and partnerships or early adopter deals to win market share.
