Wisecut builds AI-driven video editing tools that use voice recognition to automatically cut and balance video and audio, tailoring music to fit clips and lowering music when someone is speaking. The platform selects pre-cleared tracks so users can monetize videos on YouTube. Founders Ivo and Vicente Machado launched the company to help users post video content in minutes through automated editing. Wisecut’s audio features include automatic balancing and adaptive music editing to emphasize speech. The company intends to use recent funding to enhance its AI algorithms and machine learning models, optimize performance and speed, and improve the user interface and experience. It also plans integrations with popular cloud services and to strengthen customer support and community engagement. Wisecut uses AI and voice recognition to automate video editing tasks such as removing silences, creating subtitles, adding background music, and producing clean jump cuts via a storyboard-based editor driven by automatically generated transcripts. The founders iterated the product multiple times beginning in 2019 and relocated operations to Miami. The platform has been adopted primarily by influencer content creators and increasingly by educational customers; one partnered educational group in Brazil produces 2,000 hours of video per day for hundreds of thousands of students. Wisecut is building an API to enable customers to edit content at scale and is doubling down on the EdTech vertical. Financially, the company has received two external investments: an earlier investment from TheVentureCity and a recent $100,000 non-dilutive award from Google’s Latino Founders Fund. Management says the recent funding will accelerate sales and expansion into education, and plans a seed raise of roughly $1–1.5 million to grow headcount from three to twelve over the next year.
