Dumme AI video editor can create YouTube Shorts within minutes
Dumme is a startup that uses AI in video editing. It has already generated demand even before it opens to the public. The Y Combinator company says it has over 20,000 people on a pre-launch waitlist and hundreds of video makers testing its product. It uses AI to create short videos using YouTube content. Dumme promises to save time on video editing and, more importantly, do better than contracted (humans) workers who are often assigned menial tasks like cutting long-form videos down for publication on platforms such as YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels.
Merwane Drai, CEO and co-founder of Dumme, a startup accelerator that participated in the Winter 2022 program at Y Combinator in January 2022, said he initially focused on building a video search engine. Around six months ago, however, the team realized they could create a more useful product by repurposing the AI models that were being developed to edit video clips.
Drai, along with co-founders Will Dahlstrom, CPO, and Jordan Brannan, CTO, all of whom have AI backgrounds, realized that Dumme had landed on the perfect product-market match after their app became viral, crashing servers.
