Reap: Dub, clip and caption in 10 languages from one prompt

About the show:

AFA (Automation for Agencies) is the podcast where AppSumo founders meet agency owners. Host Drew Rattray scores every tool against the Agency Viability Score (AVS) rubric (white-label depth, multi-client management, reseller viability, integration flexibility, and roadmap confidence) so agency listeners know what's actually worth buying. Learn · Launch · Scale.

Guest bio:

Usama Abid is the founder of Reap, an AI video editor that clips, captions, dubs into 80+ languages and schedules video from one place. A robotics engineer on his third startup, he previously built a GitHub for hardware that was acquired. He started Reap after the editing side of his own creator channel on credit card points proved painful, and bootstrapped it through AppSumo instead of venture funding.
