# Monty

> Monty (monty.fast) is an AI video agent for short vertical video. You upload one raw take filmed on a phone; Monty cuts pauses, filler and bad takes, syncs captions to speech, ducks music under the voice, adds b-roll matched to meaning, cleans the audio and renders a version for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok and Telegram. It can also write the script in your voice and give you a free browser teleprompter to read it. Open beta since September 2026.

Last updated: 2026-10-09

Key facts:
- Category: AI video editing for short-form video (Reels, Shorts, TikTok, vertical video); footage-first, not text-to-video
- Input: one video take from a phone (mp4 or mov, up to 15 minutes), or a script that Monty writes and you read from the built-in teleprompter
- Output: an editable preview, then a finished 1080x1920 video with speech-synced captions, music, b-roll and per-platform versions, downloadable
- Publishing: direct posting to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok and Telegram is rolling out account by account; downloading the finished file always works
- Pricing: free tier of 3 videos a month (watermarked); paid plans from $29 a month, billed in USD; cancel anytime, 14-day money-back
- Product status: open beta; some footage still fails at the preview stage, b-roll can miss on abstract topics; known limitations are listed in the press kit
- Not included today: text-to-video generation, AI avatars, automatic translation, public API, white-label
- Team: two people, co-founders Alexey Shmidt (product, marketing) and Ruslan (engineering)
- Languages: site in English, Russian, Korean, Chinese, Spanish
