Manage episode 485571615 series 2352623
Today I’m speaking with Grant Shaddick, CEO of Tella. Tella is a recording and editing tool that is totally cloud-based. It’s like Loom but more HQ, and it handles a lot of the post-production for you.
I’ve used Tella for a couple of years now and have been using it more recently as I’ve moved to more off-the-cuff production. It’s been a really delightful experience.
Grant and the team think a lot about the user experience and tow a good balance between enabling high-quality video production and keeping the tool simple. Something we spoke a lot about.
We also touched on
- The deeper capabilities that LLMs are giving them — including their upcoming editing agent.
- His thoughts on competitors and related tools like Descript & Underlord, Loom, Riverside and more
- The platform itself and what it takes to record, edit, and share all in the cloud
- The future of the platform as it relates to automation & generative AI
- And the future place of video in the workplace.
