Meta adds an AI assistant to its Edits video app that reads creators’ Instagram data to suggest video ideas, hooks, and captions

Meta added an AI assistant to Edits, the video editing app it launched last year to compete with TikTok’s CapCut, that draws on a creator’s Instagram views, likes, shares, follows, and retention to answer questions about what’s working and what isn’t. Instead of reacting to a single viral reel, it looks for patterns across a creator’s past posts and current trends, then suggests concepts, hooks, captions, and audio for the next video. The assistant is free until a creator reaches a daily prompt limit Meta hasn’t specified, and higher limits come with its Meta One subscriptions, which top out at $499 a month.
