Show HN: I made a tool at 17 to turn YouTube videos into viral clips

Hey HN,

I’m Safwan, I’m 17 and I built Takao.

Creators spend most of their time on repetitive work: cutting videos, adding subtitles, switching between tools. I wanted to automate that.

Takao is an AI tool that takes a YouTube video, detects the most engaging moments, and turns them into short-form clips ready for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.

It also includes generation features (video, voiceover, subtitles, audio cleanup) so everything is in one pipeline instead of multiple tools.

I’m currently improving the clipping accuracy and overall quality.

I’d really appreciate feedback, especially from people working with video or content workflows. What would you expect from a tool like this?

Sounds like a cool tool, but the only way to test it is to sign up via Google. I don't want to do that just to check out how well it works. Maybe some examples? Post a link to a few videos and then the summary your AI tool did?
