✨Try Descript: https://bit.ly/4fCfoi7 You don't have to open Descript to edit in Descript anymore. In this webinar, Sam and Teddy from Descript show you how to connect Descript to Claude and ChatGPT using Descript's MCP (Model Context Protocol) — and then use that connection to turn a raw recording into ready-to-post social clips, without touching the Descript app. The demo walks through a real internal use case: turning long-form podcast interviews into short, on-brand clips. You'll see the full process — importing media, refining edits through plain-language prompts, and packaging the whole workflow into a reusable "skill" you can run on any future recording.
