Every AI video tool starts after you've filmed. Rushes starts before the camera does: it plans your shots,
guides you while you shoot, then edits your footage into finished content.

The problem
You find out what you missed when it's too late to film it.
People film everything on a trip and rarely look back at it. They want the perfect post, and getting it is stressful.

Rushes
Other AI tools start with footage you already have. Rushes starts with the idea, so the shots you need get filmed.
How it works
One loop, from an idea to finished content.
Each step leaves something you can check: a style card, shot cards, a cut.
1
Say what you want, or show it something you love.
Describe the post in a sentence, or give it an example to learn from. You don't need any footage yet.
Our Sikkim trip. Fast, a collage of the mountains. Open on a grid.
An example video, drawn as its shots on a timeline. Wider blocks are longer shots.
2
It turns your example into a style card.
Code measures how the reference is cut: the pace over time, the colour, grids, transitions, the title, and how it opens and ends.
If the style doesn't suit your footage, it adapts it and tells you why.

An AI director writes the shot cards.
What to film, wide or close, still or moving, how many clips, how long each, and what counts as good enough. Each card shows a frame from your reference, so you can see the look.
You find the gaps now, not in the edit.

You shoot with the cards in hand.
The iPhone app holds the shot cards, and its camera guides each shot. Your reference frame sits over the viewfinder, so you can line up the look you're after.

What makes it different
It starts where other tools don't: before the footage exists.
01
It learns the edit from something you love.
Code measures how the reference is cut: pace over time, colour, grids, transitions, the title, the opening and the ending. The plan has to follow that style card.
02
It has taste.
When the reference doesn't suit your footage, it adapts instead of copying. Fast cuts over mostly still photos look frantic, so it slows the pace, keeps the rest, and tells you why.
03
It plans before you shoot.
Shot cards say what to film, wide or close, still or moving, how many clips and how long each, with a checklist for good enough.
04
It guides the shoot.
The camera puts your reference frame over the viewfinder, with a level, a take timer and a shake warning, so each shot comes out the way the card asks.
05
It checks its own work.
Every render is measured for flicker, black frames and repeated footage before it is done. AI is creative. Code checks everything.
