A closer look at Kino AI
Kino is an AI video editor for teams and agents: footage, edits, and review notes live in one place, the agent reads footage, makes the edit, and leaves every clip on the timeline to move, footage is transcribed, described, and searchable, and review links send comments straight onto the timeline, with downloads for macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu and agent integration through MCP.
