Palmier

Palmier is a Mac-native AI video editor that lets Claude, Codex, and other AI systems help create and refine footage directly inside the editing workflow. The app focuses on agent-assisted video production, including generating cuts, organizing clips, trimming footage, and coordinating with video model integrations from one native workspace. It is useful for creators, startup teams, editors, and marketers who want to move from raw material to publishable video without bouncing between chat tools, file managers, and timelines. Palmier stands out by treating AI as an in-app collaborator rather than a separate prompt box, making it especially relevant for people experimenting with automated or semi-automated video workflows.

Slashspace is a canvas-first agentic harness designed for power AI users who want to replace fragmented tool UIs with a single, unified interface for the AI era. Originally started as RabbitHoles AI, it evolved into a canvas-as-context platform with agentic nodes — visual building blocks that represent AI capabilities, data sources, and workflow steps. Slashspace integrates the Cursor AI SDK and Composio tools, enabling users to build complex agent workflows on a visual canvas rather than writing code or chaining prompts. Featured in X Social posts in June 2026, it targets developers, designers, and knowledge workers who want to orchestrate multiple AI tools and agents in a single visual workspace. After an 18-month bootstrap build, Slashspace represents a new paradigm where the canvas becomes the context for AI collaboration.

Zepee turns a live website into demo videos and screenshots without manual screen recording or editing. Users provide a website link and tell Zepee what to show; the product claims it can click, scroll, type, and navigate the real site like a visitor, including authenticated pages, then generate reusable video and screenshot assets for Product Hunt, X, websites, and launch materials. That makes it useful for founders, indie hackers, marketers, agencies, and product teams that need fresh demos whenever a site changes. It appeared in today’s X launch artifact as a website-to-demo-video lead and was selected only after the official homepage at zepee.com verified the product identity, workflow, screenshots, and waitlist. It fits Smartoolbox under video generation, design, and productivity.
