# What is TopPost?

Updated: 2026-09-28 · URL: https://www.toppost.ai/what-is-toppost/

TopPost is an agentic video editor. You drop in the footage you actually shot, and an AI agent builds the first edit: cuts, captions, motion graphics, B-roll and sound. You refine it by chat or by hand, share a review link for comments, and post the result to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn.

**Quick answer:** **TopPost** (toppost.ai) is an AI video editor for people who aren’t editors. Drop in real footage and an agent does the cutting, captions and motion graphics in your style; you chat to refine it and push it to your calendar. It’s free to start, with paid plans from $29/month.

## What does TopPost do?

TopPost does the editing labour between raw footage and a published post. You upload clips and pick a look, either a template or one of your own past videos, and the agent builds the whole first edit. Then you change anything by chat (“add a zoom on the hook”) or by hand on a simple timeline.

That’s the part of a content plan that usually breaks. Filming is quick and writing a caption is quick, but editing thirty clips for every platform is where “we’ll post three times a week” turns into “we posted twice last month”.

The agent handles these jobs:

- Auto editing and cuts
- Chat to edit
- Simple timeline for hand edits
- Auto captions
- Remove silences
- Motion graphics from a prompt or a screenshot
- Ditto: copy any past edit’s look and cadence
- Templates
- B-roll
- Memes
- Sound FX
- Transitions
- Review links with comments
- Social caption writing
- Calendar scheduling
- Auto publishing

## How is TopPost different from other AI video editors?

Most "AI video editors" are static timeline editors with AI features bolted on. You still do the editing; the AI helps with single steps.

TopPost is built the other way round. An agentic video editor is an editor driven by an AI agent: the agent makes the cuts, captions and motion on your real footage, you refine it by chat, and it goes straight to your posting calendar. It edits the footage you shot. It doesn’t generate AI video from a prompt, which is a different job with different tools.

## Who is TopPost for?

TopPost is built first for small business owners, marketers and social media managers who shoot real footage and need it posted, without learning a timeline editor. Agencies and pro users come second: they use client review and connect their own AI.

**TopPost is for**

- People who shoot real footage (phone, camera, screen) and need it edited, captioned and posted
- Non-editors who want finished posts without learning a timeline
- Agencies that need client approval and posting in the same place as the edit
- Teams already using Claude or Codex who want their AI to run the edit

**TopPost is not for**

- Generating video from a text prompt with no footage (use a generator like InVideo AI)
- Frame-accurate long-form or cinematic work (use Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve)
- AI avatar or UGC-actor videos

## How does client review work in TopPost?

TopPost sends each cut as a review link. The link always plays the latest cut, and your client or team comments at the exact moment that needs work (“hook lands too slow”, “swap this B-roll”), with no account needed. You chat the fixes to the editor, or let Claude read the comments and make them. When it’s right, it goes on the calendar.

## Can I run TopPost from Claude or Codex?

Yes. TopPost connects to Claude and Codex over MCP. If you already pay for one of them, your assistant can operate the whole editor: make the edit, send the review link, read comments and fix. Edits your own AI makes use no TopPost credits, so on that path you pay for storage.
