Subtitles from raw video, in three minutes

AI Assistant
Send your assistant a raw video. It transcribes the audio with Whisper, burns in subtitles, and returns a ready-to-post clip in about three minutes.
Problem Context
Adding subtitles to a two-minute video used to mean exporting audio, uploading to a transcription service, waiting, importing the subtitle file into a video editor, adjusting timing, and re-exporting. Twenty minutes minimum. I'd skip it half the time.
Client Action
Sends the raw video to the assistant in Telegram with one line: 'Can you add subtitles?'
AI Assistant Action
Extracts audio via ffmpeg, sends it to Whisper for a timestamped transcript, writes a small script to convert Whisper output into .srt, then runs ffmpeg again to burn the subtitles into the video. Sends back a finished clip.
“Nobody designed a subtitle feature. My assistant invented the workflow on the spot.”
