AskEditor

AskEditor is an AI video editor founded by Ebenezer Kouao in 2024. It lets users ask Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-connected agent for an edit, or ask in its own web editor. Every cut, caption and graphic lands as its own clip on a real timeline that can still be changed by hand.

What It Is

AskEditor pairs an agent with a browser-based video editor. Users describe the change they want, such as adding a hook, putting a name on screen or captioning a take word by word, and the agent places the results on separate timeline lanes. Users can bring their own footage through the AI Edit option or start from templates, then finish edits manually in the web editor.

How the plan.md workflow works

For larger jobs, such as a full explainer or ad, the request becomes a plan.md. It lists the steps in order, quotes the credit cost up front and pauses for approval at key points, such as after the storyboard. The video is then generated from the plan, including script, voice, pictures and music, and stays editable on the timeline. The site states that edits made on the timeline do not use credits; credits pay for generated content.

Agent plugins and tools

There is a Claude Code plugin for the desktop app or a terminal and a ChatGPT plugin for the ChatGPT desktop app. Other agents connect through MCP. The site also offers browser tools such as a video editor, subtitle generator, image to video, motion control, image generator, relight, background removal and a static ad generator.

Publishing and use cases

Users can connect Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, X and Facebook, then post or schedule with a caption per network. Documented use cases include product launch videos, SaaS explainers, product demos and UGC-style video ads. A brand kit with colours, fonts and voice can be applied to videos.
