What's Claude, and do I need it?
Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic, like ChatGPT. D.A.V.I.D. runs inside the Claude desktop app on your own computer, so yes, you need it. It takes a paid plan (Pro is $20 a month) because the free plan doesn't include Claude Code, the part that runs D.A.V.I.D. Get the app at claude.ai/download.
What kind of footage works?
Anything. Phone videos, event footage, Zoom calls, podcasts, drone shots, old camcorder files. If it has a picture or a voice, DAVID can use it.
Where does my footage go?
Nowhere. D.A.V.I.D. runs on your own computer and reads your footage where it already lives: your phone, hard drives, Google Drive, Dropbox. Benny never sees it.
How fast do I get videos?
Your first finished video comes the first day, usually within an hour of starting setup. Going through your whole library runs in the background, often overnight.
What if I don't like a video?
Tell D.A.V.I.D. what to change in plain words and it makes it again. No timelines, no editing jargon.
Is this just AI?
D.A.V.I.D. is AI, built and tested by Benny on his own library first. It checks every caption word against what was said, and you watch every video before you post it.
Who owns the videos?
You do. Your footage, your videos, your catalog.
Is the music safe to post?
D.A.V.I.D. only uses royalty-free tracks without copyright claims, or music you own.
Can my team make videos on our own?
Yes, that's the point. D.A.V.I.D. runs on a Mac or Windows PC with your own Claude plan (Pro, $20 a month).
Does it cost anything?
No. D.A.V.I.D. is a free beta through December 31, 2026. You do need your own paid Claude plan (Pro at $20 a month, or Max), which runs D.A.V.I.D. on your computer.
When can I start?
Today. Sign up, paste one prompt into Claude, and D.A.V.I.D. walks you through setup in about 45 minutes.
What do you ask of beta testers?
Try it, tell us what breaks and what you wish it did, and send Benny your thank-you clip. Your feedback shapes what we build next.
What happens after the beta?
We haven't decided yet. For now, it's a free beta through December 31, 2026.
