--- title: "Emmy, the AI Assistant for Your Videos" description: "Ask Emmy about your recording, have it draft posts, cut silences and filler words, add punch-in zooms or make a clip. It works on your open transcript." url: https://exemplary.ai/emmy facts_as_of: 2026-10-09 publisher: "Exemplary AI (https://exemplary.ai)" --- # Emmy, the AI Assistant for Your Videos Open a transcript and ask Emmy: it answers with the moment it came from, writes drafts, and edits the video when you ask, with a preview first. Emmy is the assistant inside Exemplary AI. Open a recording's transcript and click Ask Emmy (⌘J), or AI Chat in the sidebar. Ask a question and the answer cites the moment it came from; ask for a post, a summary or a script and Emmy drafts it in the chat; ask for an edit and it proposes it first. It removes silences and filler words, adds punch-in zooms, caption emojis, transitions and your own background music, cuts clips and audiograms, translates the transcript and names speakers. It works on the transcript you have open, and each message uses credits. The Free plan includes 500 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. Credits are used by the tasks you run, rather than a fixed number of generations. ## How to use Emmy 1. Upload a recording, record one in the browser, or paste a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo or X link, and open its transcript. 2. Click Ask Emmy (⌘J), or AI Chat in the sidebar. In the video editor and on AI Writer documents, Ask Emmy is there too. 3. Ask a question, ask for a draft, or ask for an edit. Edits such as removing silences and filler words are proposed first, then applied as one step you can undo. 4. Download the edited video or copy the draft; nothing is posted for you. ## Emmy at a glance | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Where | Ask Emmy on a transcript (⌘J), AI Chat in the sidebar, the video editor and AI Writer documents | | Answers | From the transcript, citing the moment each came from | | Writing | Drafts in the chat; on an AI Writer document, Polish, Shorten, Expand or Change tone | | Video edits | Silences and filler words, punch-in zooms, caption emojis, transitions and animations, your own background music | | Makes | Clips and audiograms from a moment | | Transcript | Translates it, transcribes it again, detects and renames speakers | | Does not | Open links, post anywhere, or generate video, voices or music | | Credits | Each message uses credits | | Free plan | The Free plan includes 500 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark.

To use a YouTube video, import it by its link first; the chat itself does not open links. Background music has to be a track you upload: Emmy places it under the video with a fade in and out, and does not generate music, voices or video. Edits are proposed before they happen and land as one undoable step, so you can try an edit and take it back. When you are done, you download the result; Emmy does not post or schedule anything. See it answer questions on [chat with a YouTube video](https://exemplary.ai/chat-with-youtube-video), the feature page for [AI Chat](https://exemplary.ai/ai-chat), or the clip tools on [AI Clips](https://exemplary.ai/ai-clips). ## Ask, Draft and Edit in One Chat Emmy sits beside the transcript and works on what you have open. ### Answers with sources Every answer cites the moment it came from; click to jump there in the video. ### Drafts you can edit Posts, summaries, scripts and chapters, drafted in the chat from the transcript. ### Edits with a preview Silences and filler words are marked first, then cut in one step you can undo. ### Clips from a moment Ask for a clip or an audiogram of a moment, and Emmy makes it with captions. ## Make more from the ideas in your video Move between a concise summary, useful notes, and a post written for your audience. ### [YouTube Video Summary Generator](https://exemplary.ai/youtube-video-summarizer) Get the main ideas and chapters from a YouTube video.
