How it works

Your AI does the editing. Editbay gives it an edit bay.

Editbay has no AI of its own. Connect the one you use. It gets a plan, an editing server, your library and your notes.

Connect your AI

Add Editbay to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client.

Plan it

Pick the voice, look and music from real samples. Hear the script before anything is cut.

First cut

Your AI cuts it to the approved script, from your footage and its own graphics.

Pin your notes

On the picture, the titles or the voice. Right where the change goes.

Approve

Every version is checked before you see it, and kept after.

One note. One new version.

The café reel in Editbay. One note, one change, checked before you look.

Same video. Two ways.

Claude made the same 60-second video twice and fixed two notes. Left: alone. Right: with Editbay. One clock.
