About
Kino AI is a San Francisco-based AI-powered video post-production platform — backed by Y Combinator (S23) with seed funding from Pioneer Fund and YC — providing professional video editors, filmmakers, and content creators with an automated footage organization system that uses AI to automatically transcribe dialogue, identify speakers through facial recognition, extract metadata from raw camera footage, and create an intelligent search interface that enables editors to find specific shots, moments, and lines in minutes rather than hours of manual logging. Founded in 2022 by Luke Igel, Kino AI achieved $1 million in annual revenue in 2024 with a 5-person team, serving the video post-production community through integrations with the industry's dominant editing tools: Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, and Avid Media Composer.
