The embed feature was crucial for YouTube's growth. It allowed users to share videos on platforms like MySpace, which helped create an organic virality without spending any money on marketing.

In the early days of the internet, we started AudioNet, the first streaming content company, which evolved into broadcast.com, the largest multimedia site at the time.

YouTube innovated by allowing videos to play in the browser using Flash, eliminating the need for external applications like RealPlayer, which often crashed browsers. This was a significant product innovation at the time.

We aim to enable anyone to create content without the hassle of video editing, allowing them to focus on their ideas while OpusClip handles the tedious tasks.

AI's ability to recreate audio and video content from scratch will revolutionize creative processes, allowing for unprecedented levels of customization.
