SmartlyQ
Paste a link or upload a video. AI transcribes it, finds the most engaging moments and cuts vertical 9:16 clips with animated captions, hooks and titles - then you publish or schedule them to social from the same place.
One long video in, a week of shorts out
The repurposing tax
Long-form is where the substance lives. Shorts are where the audience lives. Getting from one to the other is the job everyone skips.
Scrub the recording, find a moment, crop to vertical, sync captions word by word - repeat nine times. That's a workday per video.
Picking clips by gut feel means your strongest 40 seconds often stays buried while a mediocre one goes out.
Outsourcing shorts costs real money per video, adds days of turnaround and still needs your notes on every draft.
A cropped clip with no hook, no captions and no B-roll looks like a screen recording - and gets swiped past like one.
AI reads the whole transcript, scores every moment for engagement and hands you the clips already cut, captioned and hooked.
