Value proposition
Users paste a YouTube link or upload a file, and AI automatically finds the most viral-worthy highlight segments, generates hook titles, subtitles, and context-aware AI comment templates, producing a complete short-form video draft in minutes.
Products and solutions
EasyCut (이지컷) AI shorts auto-creation platform: YouTube link/file input → AI highlight extraction → 30-60s shorts with hook titles, subtitles, and AI comment templates, real-time trending and CC BY-licensed reusable source material lists, enterprise-specific template creation for B2B clients.

Target customer
Individual creators running shorts channels as a side hustle or full-time, plus B2B enterprise content teams (e.g., domestic broadcasters) needing repeated short-form production.
