The idea

Podcasters and long-form creators paste or upload a transcript with timestamps. AI suggests the strongest self-contained moments for shorts with start and end times and a hook title. Editing time goes to the clips most likely to land.

Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Clip Picker. Creators sign up, create an episode with title and optional YouTube link, and upload a transcript file (SRT or VTT) or paste plain text with timestamps.

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Split the transcript into chunks and ask an AI model to return up to ten clip suggestions with start time, end time, a hook title, why it works and a suggested caption. Show them in a list with the transcript excerpt and a play from here link if a YouTube URL is set.
