Kino AI launches as code-first AI media manager and video editor

Kino AI provides a collaborative video editing platform with real-time team and agent integration built on Remotion.

Kino AI from YC S23 has launched a code-first video editor that lets users and agents like Codex or Claude edit videos directly in code. The platform combines storage, a rich editor, review links for teammates and real-time collaboration. Everything including timeline items and graphics is expressed as code, with transcription, embedding and face detection for footage. The full editor is free while Pro adds unlimited MCP tool calls, share links and YouTube search support.
