## Start here

New to Showbrew? Walk through making your first clip, then pick up the handful of words you'll see everywhere. You can make clips in your browser, or hand the job to your AI assistant. Most people begin by setting up a project, which is the home for one show or series.

## Use it from your AI assistant

Showbrew's agent is built into the editor. If you connect ChatGPT or Claude, ask it to open a recording or make a specific cut and it operates the same workbench. The source stays attached, the result stays editable, and nothing is selected or published without your direction.

## Connect your channels

Hook up the places you publish. Once a channel is connected, you can send a finished clip to it without leaving the workbench.

Connecting YouTube has one trap that quietly breaks the link. The YouTube guide walks you through choosing the right account.

## After you've made clips

Once you have a clip you like, this is where you find it again. Download it, share it, or send it out to your channels.
