- User asks for transcription, subtitles, or subtitle styling
- User wants to edit clips — trim, combine, add text/image/audio overlays
- User needs AI-generated media (images, video, music, sound effects, voiceovers)
- User wants to transcode, change resolution, or reframe for social platforms
- User needs real-time screen or audio capture with AI transcription
- User asks for playable streaming links for any video output
