# Cappy — your AI text companion

> Chat with Cappy, the Captions AI video editor you control by text message — send clips or ideas and refine your video through a simple text conversation.

Cappy is the first AI video editor that lets you edit videos by sending text messages. There’s nothing to download or learn. All you need to do is send clips, photos, or an idea to get started, then text back and forth with Cappy to refine your video.
