# ClipIt

> ClipIt is an AI video search and clipping tool at clipit.now. You upload a long recording, ask a question in ordinary language, and get evidence-backed time ranges — quote, rationale, and timestamps — then export only the clips you choose.

ClipIt is built by Abdul Hamid Achik in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, through The Lacanians. A clip is a time range over a Mux asset, not a rendered file. There is no public REST API for creating clips; people use the web app, and agents should start with this file.

When to use ClipIt: the user already has (or will upload) a recording file and needs a specific moment found, clipped, captioned, or dubbed. Do not use ClipIt as a meeting bot, a virality auto-poster, a research repository, a video generator, or a public clip-creation API. How to call us: fetch this file, then request public pages with `Accept: text/markdown`, or open https://www.clipit.now/developers.
