Want to test CoreCut before launch?

I m giving early access to CoreCut (AI that turns hours into viral clips). You ll get free credits + I ll use your feedback to improve the launch. Drop a comment if you d like to join the beta and I ll DM you the invite.

What makes a clip “viral” for you?

CoreCut auto-generates TikToks/Reels from long videos. I m refining the detection of viral-worthy moments. For you - what matters more: funny/emotional spikes, educational value, or keeping narrative flow? Would love your thoughts
Currently I have the following parameters (0-5 each):

  • Hook Strength (25% weight): Strong first 3 seconds that grabs attention

  • Emotional Impact (20% weight): Triggers strong emotions (funny, inspiring, shocking, etc.)

  • Standalone Value (15% weight): Makes complete sense without context

  • Story Completeness (15% weight): Clear setup-development-payoff arc

  • Shareability (15% weight): Content people would tag friends in

  • Replay Factor (10% weight): Satisfying to rewatch

Calculation: virality_score = (hook 0.25 + emotion 0.20 + standalone 0.15 + story 0.15 + share 0.15 + replay 0.10)

How I came up with CoreCut

Hello! Here s the short story behind CoreCut.

I run a small YouTube channel where I stream my vibecoding sessions. Streams are long (2 3h) and not always packed with content they re just me working live.

One day I realized I could get more views by editing those raw livestreams into shorter, watchable videos. So I cut a 2h stream into a 25min highlight version removing silence, keeping only what mattered. It worked.

At first I did it manually, then hacked together some scripts. That s when I thought: other streamers, podcasters, online schools must have the same problem. I found 10 pilot users on social media. Funny thing when I pitched summary videos, it was hard to explain. But when I said viral clips for TikTok/Shorts/Reels everyone got it instantly. That was my first pivot.
