Hello Sumo-lings! Usama here, CEO of reap.video.

Back in March I told you we were shipping aggressively toward a fully agentic platform. Here's proof. Four major releases just went live, and every AppSumo customer gets them automatically.

Cinema Genre Model: Our newest genre-tuned AI model, built specifically for movies, series, and episodic shows. It understands scene structure, dialogue pacing, and dramatic beats, so your clips land the moment, not just the timestamp. Cinema joins our Talking, Presentation, and Gaming models, which means reap now handles every major content genre with a model trained for it.

Audiograms: Podcasts and voice-only recordings are no longer stuck as audio. reap now renders animated waveform overlays on top of your captions, turning any audio into a scroll-stopping video post. Record your podcast once, publish it everywhere your video content already goes.

API, CLI & MCP for AI Agents: This is the one I'm most excited about. reap now connects natively to Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, and any AI agent that supports MCP. Prefer no-code? We plug into n8n, Zapier, and Make. You can now run your entire clip-to-publish workflow from a chat window: "take my latest podcast episode, clip the best 5 moments, caption them, and schedule them for this week." Done. We're still the only platform in the category offering API, CLI, and MCP access on every plan.

Expanded Language Support: We've grown from 98+ to 100+ caption languages, including romanized scripts like Hinglish and Arabizi that our community has been asking for. Dubbing now covers 80+ languages with lifelike AI voices. Record once, reach practically everyone.

As always, previous AppSumo customers are grandfathered into all of this at no extra cost. That's the deal we made, and we're keeping it.

Grab a license, hook reap up to your favorite AI agent, and let your content run itself.

Hello Sumo-lings! Usama here, CEO of reap.video.

We are incredibly excited to be back on the AppSumo store. It has been exactly one year since our first launch with this community.

When we first arrived, we were merely an AI clipping tool similar to other tools. Today, we return as a complete, one-stop content automation solution built on top of a powerful AI video editor.

We spent the last 12 months aggressively shipping features to turn reap.video into the ultimate platform for extending your content's reach. Here is what we have built since we last saw you.

End-to-End AI Video Editor: A complete clipping and editing solution handling every genre perfectly, including presentations, gaming, and podcasts.

Unmatched Global Reach: Record in one language and distribute in dozens. We support 98+ languages with the lowest word error rate in the industry. We are the only platform providing 100+ translation languages, 80+ dubbing languages, and Romanized text support for the most requested languages.

Seamless Social Media Automation: Connect unlimited social media accounts (fair use applies) with team access controls. Extract a clip, add AI captions, and publish directly to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and LinkedIn from one dashboard.

Speed & Performance: We rebuilt our engine to be the fastest platform for generating high-quality clips on the market.

Standalone Media Tools: Dedicated AI transcription, audiogram generation, and auto-reframing for videos without the need to clip.

Unrivaled Developer Ecosystem: We are the only platform providing CLI, API, and MCP access. Connect reap.video with Zapier, n8n, Make, or custom solutions via Replit and Lovable. Hook our MCP and CLI directly into OpenAI, ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, and OpenAI Codex.

Agentic Future: We are not stopping at standard automation. Over the next month, reap.video is transforming into a fully agentic platform where your prompts dictate the entire video creation process. Here is what's coming:

Prompt-First Clipping: Prompt your video to instantly generate supercuts, teasers, or trailers with total control over the output.

AI Video Editor: Upload multiple videos and soundtracks, and our AI will cook up a complete, cohesive video for you in minutes.

Higher Limits: Raising the export limits for the AI video editor.

Full Agentic Workflows: Prompt the engine with a mix of text, images, and videos. The AI will stitch everything together into a final video matching your exact vibe and format.

You are getting the magic of Opus, Veed and Submagic, all in one single place, with powerful agentic capabilities right around the corner.

Grab the deal, and let us scale your content reach together!

Hey Sumolings! We are BACK.

We are thrilled to return to the store for a limited time. Since our last campaign, the team hasn’t just been tweaking features—we’ve been rebuilding the engine.

I want to walk you through exactly what has changed and why this is the best version of Reap yet. Since our last campaign, we’ve shipped some of the biggest upgrades to the platform yet.

1. Editor v3 — our most advanced editor ever

We rebuilt the editor engine under the hood. It’s faster, more responsive, and built for the AI agents we’ll be rolling out next.

Video processing is now significantly quicker, exports are more stable, and formats/codecs/color profiles are much more consistent.

2. Fully upgraded infrastructure

We redesigned major parts of our backend to make rendering smoother, reduce failures, and give us the agility to ship new features at a rapid pace.

3. New unified Media Credits system

Previously you had separate limits for clipping and captioning. Now it’s a single, flexible pool.

Example: old Tier 1 LTD = 5 hours clipping + 5 hours captions.

New system = 10 hours of your choice: clipping, captioning, or any mix.

4. AI Credits — all AI tools under one bucket

We introduced unified AI credits covering dubbing first, and expanding to more AI-powered tools going forward. Simpler, cleaner, and more scalable.

New standalone AI features shipped since the last campaign

• Dubbing in 98+ languages
• Reframing with high accuracy
• Translation improvements
• Caption upgrades and style packs

All of these are now being integrated directly into project creation so you can choose dubbing, translation, reframing, and captions in one flow.

5. Full API access in every plan

Every plan — including AppSumo tiers — now includes API access.

Most competitors don’t offer APIs at all. We’re committed to keeping Reap open and developer-friendly.

6. New editing capabilities

• Add intros, outros, b-rolls
• Add multiple text layers and formats
• More flexible short-form editing
• New plan presets
• Much smoother timeline editing

7. Social multi-account support

You can now connect multiple accounts for scheduling and publishing across the main short-form platforms.

8. Stabilization & next wave of AI tools

The last few weeks were focused on testing, debugging, and stabilizing the new release.

Next: an aggressive rollout of new AI tools and agents built on the editor v3 foundation.

With dubbing, high-accuracy reframing, captions, and support for 98+ languages, Reap is now ahead of nearly every tool in the category — and we’re just getting started.

What’s the origin of the idea for your product?

We’re creators at heart. Years ago, we found ourselves frustrated by the countless hours spent wrestling with complicated video production tools—struggling to transform our creative ideas into reality. We knew there had to be a simpler way. Driven by that frustration, and armed with over a decade of experience building software powered by AI, robotics, and computer vision, we envisioned reap. We asked ourselves: What if we could put cutting-edge generative AI into the hands of every creator—whether novice or pro—and erase the complexities that once held us back? That question sparked our mission. Today, reap is an all-in-one platform designed not only from deep technical expertise but from our personal journey as creators. Our dream is simple: empower everyone to effortlessly turn their ideas into stunning content, democratizing creativity for all.
