Last year when we launched Underlord, we wondered if it should have a chat UX or if it should be a series of buttons. At the time I felt convinced it needed to be buttons. Underlord could really only do a few dozen things. So many of the "AI Assistants" lurking in our bottom right are nothing more than phone trees in a trenchcoat. I didn't want to build another one. But now Underlord is ready to graduate from a button bar because it finally fulfills the promise of chat: it's truly open world. Ask Underlord to do anything. My favorite things to do in Underlord are: - "Get this down to 2 minutes." - "Hide jumpcuts with zooms." - "Restyle all of my text and layer properties to be in ____ style." - And I'm working on a megaprompt to automatically generate a PBS style documentary about various weather disasters. (For my 8 year old, who has not been the same since he saw Twisters last summer.) Having said that, it's still in beta. So for now, it's free. There's more tools to hook in: transition and animation control, background color control, some issues with inserting/replacing media, etc. We're also soon to add in media understanding, memory, and a couple of other cool new tricks. So try it out now and watch it learn.

@burkhauser I can't wait to try the updated Underlord! I can't express enough how much I relied on the initial version for many podcast episodes and YouTube videos. Thank you!

Underlord is reborn!! I'm so excited for everyone to try this. Underlord has completely transformed the way I edit videos. With the agent, actually creating a video from A-Z feels unencumbered by the fact that editing the damn thing sometimes takes me longer than it's worth. Lately, sitting down to make the video always feels worth it, and fun, and satisfying. Can't wait to see what everyone makes!
