Descript is a text-based video editing AI agent offering an AI video and podcast editor where you edit media by editing the transcript. Founded in 2017 and based in San Francisco, California, USA, Descript helps podcasters, creators and marketers automate text-based video editing work and get results faster.
Descript takes video and audio as input and produces video, audio and text. It combines large language models with task-specific AI, with the vendor managing prompts, models and updates. It connects to tools such as YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Adobe Premiere Pro, so the agent works inside existing workflows.
Descript is built for podcasters, creators and marketers. It suits teams that want text-based editing and Studio Sound without adding headcount, while keeping people in control of review and final decisions.
Descript is often compared with Adobe Premiere Pro. Descript stands out for text-based editing and AI co-editor Underlord. The right choice depends on your workflow, integrations and budget, so compare both on a real task.
