Wisecut began in 2019 with a simple frustration: editing voice-driven video took hours of manual work. Two brothers — a video editor and an engineer — decided to teach a machine to do it. Today more than 1 million creators, broadcasters and podcasters use Wisecut to turn long footage into clips.

Who we are
Ivo spent years in post-production, cutting interviews and long-form video frame by frame. Vicente builds systems. Together they turned an editor's judgement — where to cut, when to breathe, which line matters — into an AI that does the same at scale. Wisecut is a remote company between Brazil and the United States, headquartered in Miami.
The idea starts as a tool to edit voice-driven videos automatically, removing silences and pauses without touching a timeline.
The first version launches with automatic cuts, subtitles and background music that ducks under the speaker's voice.
The platform learns to read entire recordings and pull out the moments worth publishing as short-form clips.
Over breakfast in São Paulo, investor Tim Draper tries the product and commits $1M — signed on the back of a napkin. Generative AI enters the platform.
Wisecut passes 1 million users after growing 4,000% in a year, and starts working with broadcasters and streaming platforms.
Long-to-short workflows, smart auto-verticalization and live AI cutting for interviews, talk shows and live events.

Wisecut is founder-led and deliberately flat. You will talk to the people making the calls from your first week.

Co-founder & CTO
Builds the agentic pipeline behind every cut. Cares deeply about latency, quality and code you can still read next year.
Connect on LinkedInAutomation should protect the intent of the story, not flatten it. Every cut our AI makes has a reason behind it.
When publishing takes minutes instead of days, creators tell stories they would otherwise abandon.
Most of what ships comes from watching real editors work and listening to the people already using Wisecut every day.
