About

TLDR : Stop editing videos, let AI do it.

Editly AI (available at editly.in) is an emerging AI-powered video editing platform designed to simplify and automate the entire video creation process. Built for modern content creators, marketers, and businesses, it eliminates the need for traditional timeline-based editing tools and replaces them with an intuitive, prompt-driven workflow. Instead of manually cutting clips or adjusting layers, users can simply describe what they want—such as “remove silences,” “add captions,” or “make this suitable for TikTok”—and the platform executes those edits automatically using advanced AI models.

The core strength of Editly lies in its ability to understand both visual and audio context within videos. It analyzes footage to identify pauses, highlights, key moments, and even emotional cues, allowing it to make intelligent editing decisions. This makes it especially useful for short-form content like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok videos, where pacing, captions, and transitions play a critical role in engagement. The platform is trained on high-performing social media content, enabling it to replicate viral editing styles with minimal user effort.

Editly is entirely cloud-based, meaning users do not need powerful hardware or high-end GPUs to process videos. All rendering and analysis are handled on remote servers, making it accessible from any device with a browser. This lowers the barrier to entry for beginners while also saving significant time for professionals who would otherwise spend hours on manual editing. According to the platform, users can save both time and money by automating repetitive editing tasks, with some estimates showing substantial monthly cost reductions compared to manual workflows.

Another key advantage is its scalability. Editly supports both short-form and long-form content, including vlogs, podcasts, and YouTube videos. It can trim long recordings, remove unnecessary segments, add chapter markers, and even repurpose long videos into multiple shorter clips optimized for social media distribution. This makes it a powerful tool for creators aiming to maximize content output across platforms.

The platform offers a flexible pricing model, starting with a free trial and extending to subscription-based plans that provide varying levels of editing credits and features. This allows users to scale their usage based on content needs, from individual creators to agencies and enterprises.

Overall, Editly represents a shift toward “agentic” AI in creative workflows—where software doesn’t just assist but actively performs complex tasks. By combining automation, natural language interaction, and cloud processing, it aims to redefine how video content is created, making high-quality editing faster, cheaper, and accessible to a much wider audience.

Retention
Retention yeah I think has to be the north star because... we borrow from the kind of games world I know they they frequently look at that how many players are coming back on D7 D15 D30 it's just super useful for us.

Borrow Retention Metrics From Gaming: D7, D15, D30 Are The Compass For An AI Companion

Ajay's north-star metric is not ARR or downloads — it's D7/D15/D30 retention borrowed from the games industry. For a companion app, the logic is airtight: if the product is truly valuable, each conversation should deepen the relationship and make the next one more likely. Hit-and-miss early retention means the product hasn't yet crossed the activation threshold for most users.

Mindset
It just becomes imprecise at small volumes of data you need a critical mass of data for your analysis to be useful uh right... i think the fact that they're not an antidote to all of the havoc that att has uh brought us about they're applicable to a tiny flavor of the advertisers out there.

Incrementality Testing Requires Enormous Budgets — Focus On Product Fundamentals First

Every post-ATT discussion surfaces incrementality testing and media mix modeling as solutions. Shamanth's reality check: these tools require multi-million monthly budgets and multiple channels to generate statistically meaningful signals. For most subscription app founders spending low-to-mid six figures monthly on a handful of channels, the answer is simpler — blended metrics, a good product, and solid monetization. Don't let measurement complexity distract from product fundamentals.

There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
