Follow these 10 steps to get the most out of ColdCut — from creating your account to publishing everywhere.
Sign up for free — no credit card required. Try every feature with no time limit. You get 20 script generations, 10 critiques, and 10 suggestion batches on the free tier.
Tell ColdCut about your channel — your niche, target audience, content format, and channel size. Then describe your voice: your hook style, tone words, common phrases, and things to avoid. This is what makes every script sound like you.
Each project is one video idea. From the dashboard, click "New project" and give it a name. Then fill in the brief: your topic, target audience, tone, length, and key points you want covered. Or pick a template to get started faster.
Attach context that the AI should use: paste in notes or an outline, add a URL to fetch and summarise, upload a reference script, or add an image. Resources are injected into every generation and suggestion pass so the AI stays on-brand.
Click "Generate" in the left panel. ColdCut writes a full script — hook, body, and CTA — complete with production markers like [B-ROLL:], [PAUSE], and [ON SCREEN TEXT:]. The script lands in the editor and auto-saves instantly.
Save a draft and run a critique to score your script on hook strength, retention, pacing, and CTA effectiveness. Review the feedback, then click "Revise with AI" to get an improved version in one click — or chat with the AI to guide it yourself.
Click "Suggestions" to get targeted sentence-level rewrites with explanations. Review each one and accept or dismiss it — accepted suggestions are applied directly to your working script. You can also select any section of text and run suggestions on just that part.
Open the Repurpose tab in the left sidebar and pick a platform — YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or Podcast. ColdCut adapts the hook, length, tone, and format automatically while keeping your voice. Each variant is saved alongside your original and can be exported independently.
Once your script is ready, open the YouTube Package tab. ColdCut auto-generates a click-worthy title, SEO description, tags, and chapter markers from your script. Copy everything straight to YouTube Studio — no more writing metadata from scratch.
When your script is ready, open the Export menu. Preview it in a clean full-screen view, read it from the built-in teleprompter at recording time, or download it as a .txt file or print to PDF. Works the same for your repurposed Shorts, Reels, and Podcast variants.
Get more out of ColdCut with these power-user features.
The dashboard shows 8 AI-generated video ideas personalised to your channel. Click any idea to instantly create a project with the brief pre-filled — great for beating creative blocks.
Use the History tab to save named snapshots at any point ("v1 before revision", "after critique"). Each draft can have its own critique score so you can compare versions side by side.
The Chat tab lets you have a conversation with the AI about your script. Ask it to expand a section, rewrite the hook in a different tone, or add a story. Use "Apply to script" to push changes directly into the editor.
The Production Board is a Kanban board for your entire pipeline. Drag each video from To Do → In Progress → Done. Use AI task suggestions to auto-generate a production checklist for any project — research, scripting, recording, editing, publishing.
Free plan includes 20 generations — no card required.
