- kimo is a free, open-source (MIT) video editor with no GUI, driven by AI agents (Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, any MCP client) via MCP tool calls.
- Supports cutting, trimming, keyframes, titles/captions, color grading, particles, audio, and export as tool calls; the agent can render a frame to check its own work.
- Ships as a single 15 MB CPU-only Rust binary that runs on a 2 GB box.
- Built by a college student who notes rough edges and asks users to report breakage.
