Building Eddie AI: The Cursor For Video Editing (feat. Shamir Allibhai)
Manage episode 488147435 series 3275944
Welcome to yet another episode of the Build In Public Podcast! đ
Today I'm thrilled to have my friend Shamir Allibhai, CEO and founder of Eddie AI, join me for one of my favorite conversations on the podcast yet. Shamir is building the "Cursor for Video Editing" - an AI assistant that helps video professionals focus on their craft and stories by handling the tedious post-production work they hate.
What makes this episode special is the honest and authentic exploration of various topics that founders often have to think through. Like why he chose to focus exclusively on video professionals (and said no to everyone else), the internal struggle of picking your ICP, how Eddie AI bridged the gap between customer expectations and AI output, the three vectors that lead to startup success, Reid Hoffman's message of why your v1 should probably suck, and so much more.
Shamir and I also dive deep into his founder journey, from his days at the BBC making documentaries to building a venture-backed AI startup. We explore the fascinating paradox of applying non-deterministic AI technology to the precision-demanding world of professional video editing, and he and his team solve it.
This is the kind of founder-to-founder conversation I live for - honest, vulnerable, and packed with insights you won't hear anywhere else. Grab some coffee and enjoy this fun chat âď¸
