Casey Traina, CO-Founder & CTO at Overlap AI. Overlap AI is building AI agents that can search, edit, and understand video content for media companies, podcasters , and creators. Their first agent transforms video marketing and can transform long videos into short form content, ready for distribution, and in your specific style. They were part of Y Combinator in Summer 24 and closed their seed round in November of 2024.

Episode Hightlights:
– Casey shares how he left Stanford after being inspired by a talk from Sam Altman, choosing to jump into the AI startup world rather than wait four years to graduate.

– Initially, Overlap AI aimed to create a "TikTok for podcasts," but after podcasters kept asking for clips, they realized the real demand was for automated short-form video creation.

– Overlap AI tracks the performance of posts, learns from their success, and continuously improves future clips to maximize engagement and virality.

– Casey explains why video is still an unsolved challenge in AI, noting that even leading models struggle to grasp context and meaning in video content.

– Overlap AI's roadmap includes enhancing production quality to match senior-level video editors, incorporating adaptive subtitles, color grading, and more advanced visual effects.
