Video Tap

For devrel teams and developer events

Your technical talks, turned into on-brand, accurate clips ready to post.

Video Tap is an AI teammate that does the whole job. It picks the moments, redraws code so it reads on a phone, gets your engineers’ sign-off in Slack, and follows up until every clip goes out.

Video Tap

A real clip from Hopsworks’ “Real-time ML at Roku” talk. Nobody touched it after the agent.

Why technical clips fail

Cropping a talk to vertical cuts off the code. Video Tap redraws it.

Your audience notices a cropped config or a misspelled framework, and your engineer won’t sign off on it. So the agent reads the screen and rebuilds it for a phone, word for word.

Plain crop. The code is too small to read, and the speaker is gone.

Video Tap. The code redrawn word for word, big enough for a phone, in Hopsworks’ colors.

Every clip on brand, technically accurate and ready to post

  • On brand

    The agent picks up your logo, colors and fonts from your website, and every clip, caption and end card uses them. Change anything by asking.

  • Technically accurate

    It checks every word on screen against what the speaker said, learns your product names from every fix, and asks your engineer about any claim it can’t confirm instead of guessing.

  • Ready to post

    Captions, a hook, a clean ending and a post written in your voice, with a LinkedIn carousel of the code and slides. Vertical, square or portrait.

Questions

What can I send it?

Recordings of talks, interviews, webinars and livestreams. Upload the file, drop it in Slack, or paste a direct link to the video file. YouTube links aren’t supported yet.

Does it post for me?

Not yet. You get finished clips and posts to share with your own tools, and the agent follows up on what went out. Scheduling to YouTube, LinkedIn, X and Instagram is coming soon.

Who approves the clips?

Anyone you pick, by email or in Slack. They review in the browser with no account. You can also let the agent approve clips it’s confident about; any clip with an open question still waits for a person.

How many clips do I get per talk?

Usually 3 to 5, each with captions and a post. Ask for more or fewer.

What happens at 600 minutes?

New talks wait until your next month. Need more? Email support@videotap.com for custom pricing.

Do I need Slack?

No. Everything works in the web app too. Slack is where the agent works best, as a teammate in your channel.

Do you train AI on my videos?

No.

I had a Video Tap account before.

A note from the founder

Hi, I’m Kevin. I’ve been building Video Tap since 2022.

The teams who stuck with us all looked the same: someone in marketing or ops with a backlog of developer talks, clipping on the side of their real job.

Generic clipping tools made it harder. They cropped the code out of the frame and misspelled the framework, and every mistake meant another round with a busy engineer.

So we rebuilt Video Tap around that one job: technical content, made by an agent and checked by your team before it ships. Send it your talks, and get back clips your engineers sign off on.
