WHO IT'S FOR
Who each tool is built for
Use cases and fit tags from each tool's own positioning. Match these to your context, not their marketing.
Podcasters and video content creatorsCreators with hour-long podcasts or interview videos upload their content to Klap and receive multiple viral-worthy short clips automatically. Klap extracts the best spoken moments, reframes to vertical format, and adds captions — turning a 2-hour podcast into ready-to-post TikToks, Reels, and Shorts without any manual editing.
Social media marketers and brand teamsMarketing teams repurpose existing long-form video assets (product demos, webinars, training videos) into platform-native short clips for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and LinkedIn. Klap's scheduling and direct publishing features allow teams to post daily across channels without a dedicated video editor, growing follower counts and engagement metrics.
Developers and SaaS product teamsDevelopment teams use Klap's REST API to embed AI-powered short video generation into their own platforms. Using the Managed Users & Embeds workflow, they can programmatically create sub-users, generate video-to-shorts tasks on their behalf, and surface Klap's editor directly within their product via an authenticated embed player — all without requiring end-users to visit klap.app.
Media production teamsRunway's Gen-4.5 video model enables media and entertainment organizations to create highly realistic, cinematic video content with unprecedented visual fidelity and creative control. The world's top-rated video model produces professional-grade outputs while providing precise control over every aspect of generation, from motion quality to prompt adherence. Leading organizations like Lionsgate have adopted this capability to explore AI applications in film production, streamlining creative workflows and expanding storytelling possibilities without requiring extensive technical expertise or traditional production resources.
