Like Google Photos, but fully local. Turn the terabytes of video, audio, meetings, and files you work with into searchable memories, without uploading anything to the cloud. Clipto automatically tags people, dialogue, and scenes, so you can instantly find any moment buried in your media just by describing what you're looking for. It's fast too: on a MacBook Pro M5, Clipto indexed 2TB of videos in just 24 hours.
This is the 2nd launch from Clipto. View more
Clipto MCP
Launched this week
Clipto MCP gives Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI agents the ability to source clips and more from inside the videos, photos, and audio recordings stored on your computer.
Instead of manually browsing files, simply describe what you need. For example, turn a script into a video by matching each sentence with your local footage; find every scene where someone mentioned a topic; create rough cuts; or search years of media as if you have a dedicated assistant editor.

The demo where the agent finds the relevant material and keeps working from it was probably the most interesting part.
Clipto
@mingyouagi Exactly. Finding the right material is only the first step. Once the agent can understand and pull from your media library, it can keep working instead of stopping at a list of search results. That’s where it gets really interesting—when the world’s most capable AI meets your own media and memories, entirely new possibilities start to open up. Thanks!
@mingyouagi Totally agree! That’s the exciting part for us too — the agent can find the right material and turn it into a video. Thanks for checking it out and for the support!
Congrats on the second launch. That music video went out as the raw first output, no cleanup at all. Takes some nerve to show the actual thing rather than the polished version.
Clipto
@lucasjpols Exactly. We wanted to show what Clipto MCP and an AI agent can actually produce on their own today: understand the creative direction, find the right moments across a large media library, and assemble them into an editable rough cut. A polished version would have looked better, but it would also have hidden where the product truly is. What matters most here is being able to pinpoint the exact moments you need across huge, complex libraries and turn them into a useful starting point for editors.Thanks Lucas!
Clipto
@lucasjpols Thanks Lucas! We think the best way to build trust is simply to show what actually happened. We even shared the original source videos and the exact prompt we used, so anyone can try to reproduce the result themselves.
One thing we’re increasingly convinced of: AI doesn’t need to replace the editor to be useful. If it can turn thousands of hours of footage into a surprisingly good first cut, the editor gets to start with taste and judgment instead of search and assembly. That’s already a pretty big shift.
This feels especially useful for projects where the context is spread across dozens or hundreds of files.
Clipto
@tiantian_liu1 That’s a big part of what we wanted to solve. When context is spread across hundreds of files, you shouldn’t have to remember where each piece came from. Clipto can search across the whole library and bring the relevant moments together for you.
The local search part is what caught my attention. Being able to ask an AI tool to find something across your own media library feels genuinely useful.
Clipto
@shirley_mou Thanks Shirley! That’s exactly the idea. Your media is already there, but finding the right moment across years of footage is still surprisingly hard. We want to make that entire library something you can simply talk to, whether directly in Clipto or through your favorite AI agent.

This could be useful for research too, especially when your source material is mostly video and audio rather than documents.
Clipto
@bioyue Absolutely. A lot of valuable knowledge is trapped in video and audio, while most AI research workflows still work best with text. Making that media searchable and understandable to agents opens up some really interesting research workflows. Thanks Bio!
Not an editor, but searching old meetings without remembering the date sounds genuinely useful. Nice launch.
Clipto
@sandy_liusy Exactly! Meetings are a big use case for us too. You shouldn’t need to remember when a conversation happened, just what you remember from it. Describe the topic or moment, and Clipto can find it across your meeting history. Thanks Sandy!

The interesting part for me is that it’s not just searching filenames. It actually understands what’s inside the videos.
Clipto
@yjbdr Exactly. That’s the key difference for us. The filename tells you almost nothing about a video. Clipto understands the people, dialogue, scenes, and moments inside it, so agents can work with the actual content, not just the files. Thanks Junbo!
