Algo vs AirCaption

Algo builds custom video editing pipelines for teams that need motion graphics driven by live data, not one-off clips cut by hand. The Turin-based studio designs templates in After Effects, Lottie, or Cavalry, then hosts them on a cloud platform where your data triggers rendering without manual timeline work. Each client gets a tailored project dashboard and optional API access once the eight-step creative and technical setup is complete.

Where most video editors stop at a single export, Algo is built for campaigns that repeat at scale: a unique wrap video per wallet user, a daily chart that updates when markets move, or a city-specific clip pulled from an API call. You get a managed creative setup (about two months on average) rather than a self-serve SaaS template library, which is the trade-off if you want templates wired to your own data schema and delivery stack.

Marketing teams, publishers, fintech apps, and sports leagues use Algo's dashboard or API to launch, filter, and publish videos. Outputs ship as MP4, GIF, or Lottie JSON, with optional auto-posting to Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and cloud storage. The Figma plugin path lets in-house design teams edit motion systems inside familiar files after the studio hands off the template library.

Algo runs After Effects in Microsoft Azure and has rendered work for Bloomberg, The New York Times, Google, Johns Hopkins University, and Aave. Client projects span autonomous election trackers, podcast audiograms, and in-app personalized finance animations.

AirCaption is desktop transcription software for Mac and Windows that turns audio and video into captions, transcripts, and subtitles on your machine. It targets video editors, podcasters, marketers, and anyone who needs fast speech-to-text without uploading media to the cloud.

The app runs locally using NVIDIA Parakeet and OpenAI Whisper models, so files stay on your computer. You generate captions, review timing and text in a built-in editor, then export to SRT, VTT, plain text, or captioned video. It supports batch queueing for folder drops and works offline after setup.

AirCaption subtitles content in up to 67 languages (beta) and ships separate builds for Mac Apple Silicon, Mac Intel, and Windows with NVIDIA GPU or CPU-only options.
