AutoShorts AI transforms raw, long-form content into high-impact viral shorts. This repository provides the complete source code for our interactive playground, designed to help founders and developers master the Monzed API, fine-tune visual presets, and prototype viral content strategies in real-time.
Our AI doesn't just clip—it curates, reframes, and enhances. The playground demonstrates the engine's ability to identify viral hooks and apply production-grade effects automatically.
