[@VulcanTaxGuru]

This is definitely one of the funniest instructional / overview video I've seen.

[@maranr]

I wish more companies would do announcements like this. Fun. Great job.

[@RJMartinez]

Good job! Thank you for making this better and better

[@MannyBernabe]

Cool. Looking forward to checking out.

[@lawrencechappe4436]

this is so funny!!! The background, the girl leaving LOOOOOOOOOL

[@NateBagley]

This is so goofy. I love it.

[@dfhzrf]

The new version of your program has a big bug. When I record audio in spanish it gets translated as english even when the settings are in spanish. Then it gets unstable and crashes. Please fix this error.

[@grant-taleck]

Please tell me there is better multicam editing!

[@BecomingBenSmith]

agree!

[@grant-taleck]

@@BecomingBenSmith Haha good seeing you here!

[@OpenSourceCitizen]

so Underlord is powered by Open-AI or not? how woke and censored is it? Is it going to be absolutely useless for any adult themed or non-woke traditiional liberal-left or moderate middle podcasts? Wishing Descript the best, but if this is the case descript will get completely dethroned by a runner up that uses Grok.

[@francisokech]

Thanks to Descript, I an author, can now become a KZbinr, something I had planned to do for years but never found the time to do. Thanks again.

[@BigChadP]

The new tool is fantastic! This name though? Not so much. Big miss.

[@mrjerrypotter]

Great update! I was just making a video about how awful virtual backgrounds are and the Remove Background feature was so good I had trouble making my point. 😁

[@bizwithbill]

Nice update / upgrade. Worst. Name. Ever.

[@simplyuniquecoaching]

Yes I enjoy using descript, but absolutely loathe the name of their AI bot. It may even cause me to change products at some point. Descript please rename it or don't name it, but the current name is not funny nor is it cute.

[@jodypaul9864]

As someone recently posted, I want AI to do my dishes and my laundry, I can do everything else. No one should rely on AI to write and edit.

[@grahamwardleonline]

Way to go team. Loving the progress and dedication you are putting into the project!

[@Liz_7703]

"I know it's a little terrifying, but only if you think about it too hard." hahah love this

[@DaveMillman]

If you want to skip the content-free intro, the demo begins at 3:00.

[@MattGarcia]

hilarious - great comic timing, Laura

[@damonpthomas]

This was hilarious.

[@TheT-lv4mt]

LOVE THE NAME

[@shannoncason1]

Underlord. Okay now I get it. LOL "Intern" would be clearer, but Underlord works too know that I get it. About to test it out!

[@stokedbeachbum]

Oh, also I kind of like the name because I built a chat bot for my business and when it doesn't know the answer to something it's says, "I'm sorry. I'm just a stupid little chat bot. But I sent your question to my human overlords and they'll contact you with the answer."

[@stokedbeachbum]

I love Descript but never show an empty audience because it makes it seem like nobody cares. And at one point, a girl got up and walked away. I know she wasn't bored with the Descript presentation because Descript is awesome but that was kind of funny. Maybe use Descript to edit the audience out? 😅

[@creativeconnection4U]

Still not a great tool for professional video editing (even video podcasts) but it's a great tool for amateurs. Cool to see it grow

[@TodaysTalkwithErika]

I definitely need to try this out. Thank you!

[@stokedbeachbum]

Does Laura double as the CEO of Vought? 😅

[@mdemko]

Wow that's very robust. Can't wait to test

[@themarilynmansoncases]

It would be cool if there were options for Faceless accounts when creating highlight reels for social media vs only using my KZbin dimensions and creating a reel off that. They don't tend to perform as well as having to recreate a whole reel from scratch since, say, something I point out in a KZbin video might work well, but might be too small to see in a reel. I hope that makes sense.

[@NateBear]

Should jsut add a do everything fo rme button. Apply all the eye contact, audio enhancements, edits etc and autumnally make clips with one click. Maybe like pre-saved actions? NAd underloard can help you design what set of actions is right for your workflow

[@TonyAube]

Great stuff!

[@amilcarkraudy]

Muchas gracias esta genial

[@TranscendersInc]

I love the emojis! :)

[@CharlotteDrew]

The name may be funny internally and perhaps mildly entertaining in a single customer-facing email (ie. mentioning that we don't want an AI overlord). But then it's just annoying and I'm already so tired of hearing it that I've been avoiding Descript. I hope you move on from it very quickly.

[@thepianocornertpc]

So, soon, you will make Descript much more expensive, victimizing people on a low budget. Thanks a lot!

[@Vanderful_life]

Nope, competition is rising so they can’t do it But interesting brain you have focusing on visible direction

[@sanbaoqigong4135]

@@Vanderful_life what are you babbling about?

[@kuya5k]

@@Vanderful_life Wrong. There's a popup now saying 'Your plan will soon be limited to 20 uses / month of Underlord's basic powers'
