Meet Cappy: The first AI video editor you can text

The hardest part of making a video isn't coming up with ideas. It's everything that comes after.

At Mirage, our goal is to make video editing easier for everyone. So we kept asking ourselves: What's the next way to do that? Where's the next frontier?

And then it hit us. The answer was already in everyone's pocket. Texting.

Nothing new to download or learn

You already know how to text. So we built an editor that lets you create videos doing exactly that.

Today, we're launching Cappy. It’s the world’s first video editor available through texting. Available 24/7, whenever you need it. Green bubble or blue bubble, you now have an editor on-demand.

Texting Cappy works just like any other exchange you’d have over text. Open your messages app and text Cappy to start a conversation about the video you want to make. Cappy asks follow up questions, takes feedback and offers creative direction. When you're happy with your video, save the video straight from your texts and share it.

Cappy gets what you’re going for

Most AI video tools do one thing. They take what you give them and apply a treatment. Cappy works differently.

Send a clip, a few photos, a product page link, or a voice note with your script. Cappy figures out the structure, the pacing, the style, and sends back something ready to post. It makes real creative calls, not just template choices. And if something feels off, you just say so.

If you've ever felt like editing is out of reach, this is for you

We built Cappy for everyone. Most of us know video matters, we just don't have the time, tools, or team to make it happen.

Take Christmas Le, who runs her own coffee shop in New York City. On top of managing her business and her customers, she handles all her own social media too. She knew she needed video content to reach new customers, but hiring someone wasn't an option and figuring it out herself took time she didn't have.

"I have to be four or five people at the same time," she said. "Having Cappy on my phone is very convenient.”

And that’s just one example. We're already seeing Cappy used by content creators, fitness coaches, real estate agents, small businesses, aspiring influencers. People who have always had something to say and just needed a simpler way to say it.

Here are some prompts to get you started

Getting started with Cappy is as simple as sending a text. If you want some inspiration on what to say, here are a few prompts we’ve seen work well:

• "Edit this video in an elevated and modern way, with cursive white captions."

• "Add engaging captions to this video so I can reach a larger audience."

• "Edit this into a high-energy TikTok with jump cuts and bold captions."

• "Make a weekly specials video from these food photos for my restaurant."

• "Create a seasonal promo video from these sale item photos."

If you can describe it, Cappy can make it.
