Descript

When we started, we didn’t have a useful public API at all, so the obvious move was to expose a few endpoints for our popular features: one to remove filler words, one to add captions, one to apply Studio Sound, and so on. We almost did that. But instead, we decided to consolidate the core of our API on a single agentic endpoint: Underlord, the editing agent inside Descript. There were practical reasons to start here.

Fix Your Words The take was almost perfect. The delivery was smooth, the energy was good — except for that one key phrase you stumbled over. You can’t cut it, and re-recording would be a nightmare. Regenerate solves it almost instantly. Select the words you want to change in the script, type what you want to say instead, and Descript synthesizes the replacement in your own voice, seamlessly blending the tone to what you said before and after. Nobody will ever know you flubbed it.

Use the Descript MCP to control Descript from an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT, or a custom MCP connector. Describe what you want in plain language, no code required. If you're looking to automate Descript with code, Zapier, or the command line, see the Descript API overview instead. This article covers: What is an MCP? Before you connect Known limitations What is an MCP? MCP stands for Model Context Protocol.

If you've opened CapCut recently you’ve probably noticed that auto captions, the feature that made CapCut the default for quick social videos, is no longer free. It now requires a Pro subscription. The change happened as part of CapCut's 2025 pricing restructure, which moved auto captions, 4K export, and watermark-free output behind a paid tier.

The short answer as to why we went with this campaign: it made us laugh. But here’s the longer answer. On its face, our ad campaign might feel alienating. The art direction is intentionally dystopian — Orwellian imagery, over-the-top copy that’s meant to tip into satire.

How TikTok likes actually work (and why some videos take off) TikTok doesn’t decide a video is good because it gets likes. It tests your video with a small group, watches what happens, then decides whether it’s worth showing to more people. TikTok is paying attention to three main things: Watch time leads the charge. If people keep watching (or rewatching), TikTok is more likely to distribute the video. Likes are a strong signal. Likes often follow watch time.

You might be thinking: Personas? Ew. I don't want my AI chatbots to have a persona; let them be robots. Fair. The Persona Pattern is a prompting method that can feel a little weird. You're essentially telling AI to pretend it's a person. But the more time I’ve spent with cutting-edge models (and the more complex the tasks I’ve tried to get them to do), the more I’ve realized that giving a model a persona is one of the smartest moves you can make when working with AI.
