All features

Everything Kadr can do, grouped by what you'd use it for. New features arrive with every update.

AI assistant and automation

The AI edits the video the way a person would — with the same tools, every step undoable.

Full auto

The AI edits the whole video without stopping for approvals; only your daily spending limit can stop it.

17 AI agents

Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot, Qwen Code and more — use the one you already pay for.

Your own API keys

Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and 15 providers in total, plus any compatible endpoint. Pay only for what you use.

Custom endpoints for Claude Code

Run Claude Code through DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, OpenRouter, Ollama and other endpoints.

Parallel helpers

On long videos the AI splits the work between up to 10 helpers that run at the same time.

Messages while it works

Add a wish while the AI is editing — it reads it at the next step without starting over.

No time limit, Continue button

Long edits are never cut off; if a run stops, Continue picks it up — even on another AI.

Dictation

Speak your request instead of typing it, with local or cloud speech recognition.

Live log

Watch downloads, voice-overs and every command as they happen.
