[00:00:00] Speaker 1: A lot of AI tools kind of just like hand you a finished product, but don't let you manipulate afterwards. And one of the best parts about our MCP and Descript as a whole is that no matter if you're using Claude or Underlord or a combination, you still can edit as a human being afterwards. I'm a creative. I like to make things, right? So I still want to go in and have that final visual polish, but I don't want to have to scroll through an hour and a half of me talking to remove every time I say the word like and um and uh. So I can get a lot of that grunt work done on the front end and either raw publish or finish up inside of Descript afterwards.

Users can use Claude, Underlord, or both to handle repetitive editing tasks—such as removing filler words—then make final creative and visual refinements in Descript or publish directly.
