TikTok announces two new AI tools for creators: Smart Split and AI Outline

TikTok just dropped a whole host of new tools and features — including new monthly rewards and so, so much AI.

Long videos are great for YouTube, but they might not be ideal for short-form video. Enter: Smart Split, an AI-powered editing tool that takes your longer videos — think podcast videos and hour-long video essays — and clips them into shorter videos.

"If you've ever spent hours trimming down podcasts into clips… this one is for you," Kim Farrell, the global head of creators at TikTok, said at TikTok's 2025 U.S. Creator Summit.

The tool, which is available globally on TikTok Studio Web, automatically clips, reframes, captions, and transcribes users' longer videos into multiple short videos. To use the tool, creators still need to do a bit of work. You'll have to upload videos that are longer than one minute and select which parts you want clipped. Then, either decide how long you want the videos to be or let Smart Split automatically choose the length. You can also choose the caption formatting and reframe the content if necessary.

The platform also launched AI Outline, an AI-powered tool that gives creators video titles, hashtags, hooks, and outlines. Simply enter a prompt or select a topic on Creator Search Insights to get an outline that breaks a video down into six parts. After you get the AI response, you can ask it to edit the response — i.e., ask for it to give you another hook option or make the script better fit your audience. AI Outline is available for creators 18 years or older in the U.S., Canada, and select markets.

It's not surprising that TikTok would continue to lean into AI — it seems every social media platform is. Earlier this month, Twitch announced a new AI-powered tool that automatically creates clips from livestreams, kind of like the Twitch version of Smart Split. Meta has its own array of AI-powered tools for creators, like AI tools on Edit, AI Studio, and the "infinite slop machine" that is Meta AI's Vibes.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

The Shortcut AI Excel agent could one-shot spreadsheet jobs. Heres how to try it.

There's a new AI agent on the block for people who spend their waking hours inside spreadsheets. Navigate to Shortcut AI's website , and you'll find a page that looks almost exactly like an empty Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The main difference is a sidebar chatbot that can be tasked with taking on the tedious legwork of building, say, complex financial models or competitive analyses. Because Shortcut is agentic , meaning it can handle multi-step tasks on the user's behalf, the tool can do more than just generate Excel formulas or analyze spreadsheet data. In a demo on X, Nico Christie, founder and CEO of the Shortcut AI agent, showed how the tool swapped out the data from a Microsoft distributed cash flow analysis (DCF) for Google data by looking up Google's SEC filings and populating the data in the same template. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Shortcut launched on Monday with a rather ominous tagline: "Try...

Mystery Pixel smartphones detailed in code references

The devices also pack 12GB of RAM apiece. Shiba is said to feature a screen with a resolution of 2,268 x 1,080 pixels while Husky could be a bit larger at 2,822 x 1,344 pixels. Given the amount of RAM, however, both would likely qualify as premium devices. from TechSpot https://ift.tt/cefMDJW via
