YouTube serves 70B+ Shorts views per day. The algorithm recommends Shorts to people who have never heard of your church.
Shorts surface to non-subscribers. Every Short is a chance for someone new to find your church.
A 45-minute sermon contains 10–15 quotable moments that stand alone perfectly in 30–60 seconds.
Manual captioning + resizing + cropping takes 30–45 min per clip. AI does all of it in one pass.
Our AI is trained on these criteria. It doesn't optimize for shock value — it finds moments with theological weight and a clear narrative arc.

The AI picks moments I wouldn't have thought to clip — and they're outperforming my manually-edited videos on Shorts.
