Like, hey Claude - create a staffing automation company and a swarm of agents search, reach out, follow ups, and AI voice calls etc. Its bs marketing, I get it but "what if this comes true, not now but in future?" - drives the anxiety. The sandwich framework sounds great until the decision and accountability is passed on to AI with guardrails. The AI in its current state is great to take the feedback and decide the next course of actions.

The real moat they have is SaaS vendors have everyone believe that trivial feature requests take time to implement.

Use NLE and cut it into shorts. (crop, resize, subtitles etc.) 3. Upload shorts on YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok.

He does use davinci resolve but only for 2.

NLEs make ffmpeg a standalone yet easy to use tool.

Not denying that major heavy lifting is done by the NLE. We go a step ahead and make it embeddable in a larger workflow.
