bookoly
· #369 most-usedAutomate video creation and processing at scale
bookoly is a video creation and processing API that lets you automate the production of professional video content — assembling slideshows from images, mixing audio tracks, generating subtitles, applying watermarks, cropping for different platforms, splitting recordings into clips, and extracting audio, all via API. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can produce social media assets, training videos, help centre tutorials, investor presentations, and legal evidence clips automatically — without any of your team touching a video editing application.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the manual cycle of opening video editors, adding subtitles, cropping for each platform, stamping watermarks, and splitting long recordings into segments — tasks that individually take 20–90 minutes each and recur across every team every week.
What your bookoly agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
bookoly × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Weekly promo video assembled from campaign assets
When a campaign brief is marked Ready in Notion, the agent fetches the approved images from Drive, creates a slideshow video, layers the brand music, stamps the logo watermark, and posts the finished video to the #campaign-review Slack channel — the whole production sequence runs without touching a single editing tool.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.
What you do manually today
What your agent runs for you
- Sales45 min / weekManual demo video production
Sales reps export slide images, open a video editor, add transitions and audio manually, and wait for an export — a process that takes 30–60 minutes per video and competes with selling time.
Sales Agent0 minAgent produces branded demo videos on demandWhen a deal advances, the agent calls bookoly to assemble a slideshow, add narration audio, and stamp the brand watermark — a polished video asset is ready before the rep writes the follow-up email.
- Marketing60 min / weekManual video post-production
The marketing team manually adds subtitles in a caption editor, exports separate crops for each platform, and stamps watermarks in a separate tool — a multi-hour process for every video that enters the social queue.
Marketing Agent0 minAgent captions, crops, and watermarks every asset automaticallyThe agent runs every marketing video through a subtitle pass, crops it to each platform's native aspect ratio, and stamps the brand watermark — a full multi-format publish package is ready without touching an editing tool.
- Customer Support30 min / weekManual tutorial captioning
Support writers manually transcribe or edit auto-captions in a separate tool before each tutorial can be published — adding 20–40 minutes per video to the help centre publishing workflow.
Customer Support Agent0 minAgent captions every tutorial on uploadWhen a screen recording lands in the help centre folder, the agent automatically generates and embeds subtitles before the video is published — every tutorial is accessible on the first day without a caption editing step.
- Human Resources90 min / weekManual training video preparation
HR manually scrubs through recordings to identify chapter points, exports each segment separately, adds captions in a third-party tool, and uploads modules one by one — a half-day task per recording.
Human Resources Agent0 minAgent segments and captions training content automaticallyWhen a long training recording is uploaded, the agent splits it into LMS modules at chapter boundaries and captions each segment — a two-hour recording becomes a full course without anyone touching a video editor.
- Finance25 min / weekManual investor video processing
Finance manually exports the video to a caption tool, adds a watermark overlay in a separate editor, exports the audio track for the archive, and emails the distribution list — a sequence that takes an hour per video.
Finance Agent0 minAgent captions, watermarks, and archives investor videos on uploadWhen an investor update video is uploaded, the agent adds subtitles, stamps the Confidential watermark, extracts the audio for transcription, and notifies the distribution list — all in one automated sequence.
- Operations40 min / weekManual batch video operations
Ops team members manually correct orientation in video tools, stamp watermarks file by file, and use audio editors to join multi-part recordings — small tasks that collectively consume hours of non-billable operations time each week.
Operations Agent0 minAgent handles orientation, watermarking, and batch merging automaticallyThe operations agent corrects video orientation, watermarks client deliverables, and merges multi-part audio files in scheduled batches — the team's video processing backlog clears itself each week.
- Legal20 min / weekManual deposition clip preparation
Legal staff manually scrub to timestamp marks in a video editor, export clips, add captions in a separate tool, stamp watermarks, and file the excerpts — a process that takes 45–90 minutes per clip and delays attorney review.
Legal Agent0 minAgent extracts, captions, and watermarks deposition clips on mark-upWhen counsel marks a timestamp range, the agent extracts the clip, auto-generates subtitles, stamps the case reference watermark, and delivers the excerpt to the case file — a review-ready clip in minutes.
