[NEW] — MOAT AI AGENTType what you want.<br>Watch it edit itself.<br>Never opened a video editor? Doesn't matter. Tell the agent "make this a punchy TikTok" and it reads your footage, writes the captions, cuts the dead air, and grades the color — step by step, out loud, until it's done.<br>✦Understands what’s said in your clips (word-level)<br>✦Plans multi-step edits & self-corrects<br>✦Never touches what you didn’t ask for
