Instead of learning complex design software, users can chat with Kai to explore, edit, and refine designs instantly in the browser. Launching in Fall 2025, Kai leverages the best LLMs and generative models to empower users to ideate, edit, and generate images, videos, and audio.

- Kapwing Studio: An online video editor that is both powerful and easy to use. Millions of creators every month choose Kapwing to tell their story and bring their ideas to life.
