CutBay just launched as an AI video editor you steer by chat. It can build videos from prompts, URLs, docs, PDFs, spreadsheets, and assets without timeline work.

CutBay is trying to make video editing feel less like software and more like a conversation. The Product Hunt launch frames it as an AI video agent that takes plain instructions and turns them into finished videos, handling the planning, scripting, visuals, voiceovers, subtitles, and editing along the way.
The pitch is simple: don’t drag clips around on a timeline. Tell CutBay what you want, and it does the assembly work. It can start from prompts, but also from URLs, documents, PDFs, presentations, spreadsheets, and media assets, then keep refining the result through natural conversation.
That’s a broad intake for a video tool, and it matters because it pushes beyond the usual “AI helper” label. CutBay isn’t just speeding up one part of the process. It’s trying to swallow the whole workflow, from raw source material to a polished video.
The company is selling this as professional video creation made as easy as talking. That’s a strong promise, and a familiar one in AI right now: less interface, more intent. The real test is whether the conversation produces something people would actually publish, not just something that looks clever in a demo.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
The industry keeps pretending every creative tool should become a chat box, as if editing itself were the problem. Sometimes it is, but sometimes the real issue is taste, and no amount of conversational polish fixes that. Still, if CutBay can genuinely turn messy source material into usable video, that’s the kind of boring efficiency people will pay for.
