About Kino AI

Kino lets you make videos with your teammates and your agents. Your footage, your edit, and your review notes live in one project, so Claude Code or Codex works on the same timeline as your team. Companies use Kino to keep all their footage in one searchable place, have agents cut new videos every day, and send review links to get feedback.
