ClipUpdate
Record 2-minute video updates for your team. Replace status meetings.
● The Problem
Status update meetings exist because text updates lack context and nuance. But meetings are expensive and synchronous. Teams need the richness of video with the efficiency of async.
● The Solution
A dead-simple tool for recording and sharing short video updates. Record your screen or camera, auto-generate a transcript, and share with your team. Viewers can respond with emoji reactions or threaded text replies.

Go-to-Market Strategy
Free for teams under 5. Position as "team video updates" not "video messaging" (narrower focus than Loom). Target remote-first companies on Twitter and Remote.com job boards.
Target Audience
Monetization
Per-SeatCompetitive Landscape
Loom is the giant ($12.50/user/month). Tella focuses on polished recordings. Claap does meeting recordings. A focused "team status updates" tool at $5/user/month can carve a niche.
Why Now?
Async work culture matured. Teams tried Loom for everything and want simpler tools for specific use cases. "Loom for standups" is an underserved niche.
