What Async does
Edits video from chat prompts: removes filler, syncs cuts to music, adds captions, makes short clips and generates B-roll or music.
Async is an online video and audio platform where you describe the edit you want in a chat and the AI carries it out. According to its official pages, it is meant for creators and small teams who want finished videos without learning traditional editing software. The AI can clear rough cuts of filler, pauses and bad takes, line up cuts with a chosen music track, clean noisy voices with a tool called Magic Dust, add and style captions, and pick out strong moments to make short clips for social platforms. It can also generate B-roll, images, voices, music and sound effects with third-party models, and it offers AI subtitles and dubbing for multilingual versions. A remote recording studio with separate tracks per guest sits alongside the editor, and you can save your own editing style as a reusable skill. The company was formerly known as Podcastle.
Pricing combines subscriptions with AI credits. The Free plan needs no credit card and includes 10 lifetime credits. Paid plans are Essentials at €11.99 per month, Pro at €23.99 per month and Teams at €49.99 per creator, with 450, 1200 and 3000 credits per month. The page shows one price per plan beside its yearly-plan savings and does not display a separate monthly-billed price, so treat these as yearly-billing figures and confirm at checkout. Business is custom and goes through sales. Paid plans offer a free trial, but its length is not stated.

Our take
Async fits creators, podcasters and small teams who want recording, editing, captions and repurposing in one place, driven by chat instead of a timeline-first tool. The credit model is the main trade-off: edits and generation draw on a monthly allowance that does not roll over, and the cost of a broad chat request depends on what the AI decides to do. The Free plan is small, so regular use points to a paid tier. The pricing page does not show a monthly-billed price, so compare billing options before committing. Teams that need custom limits or stronger security must talk to sales. The vendor itself notes that AI can make mistakes, so plan to review every edit.
