Editorial Verdict
AI-researched, not hands-on testedVidmoat's prompt-based editing and chat-bot workflow (editing a clip by texting instructions to Telegram or WhatsApp) stand out in a crowded AI-video-editor field, and the genuinely free-forever Hobby tier makes it easy to try before committing to a paid plan.

About Vidmoat
Vidmoat is a prompt-driven AI video editor: describe the edit you want, like "cut the silence and add captions," and an AI agent makes those changes on a real multi-track timeline before rendering an MP4. It handles dead-air removal, word-level captions (including karaoke-style effects for short-form content), background removal, audio/visual polish, and reframing footage for different social platforms. Beyond the web app, Vidmoat can be used entirely through chat: sending a clip to its Telegram, WhatsApp, or Discord bot with an edit instruction returns the finished video in the conversation. The free Hobby plan is free forever (not a trial) and includes 3 projects, 720p exports, and a small watermark; Creator at $19/month removes the watermark and unlocks 4K and unlimited projects; Studio at $49/month adds AI image/video generation, larger uploads, and API access.
