Getting Started

Welcome! I'm your Video Caption Generator AI — ready to turn your video's spoken content into clean, timestamped captions. Drop in your video details, transcript, or audio description and let's get your captions created right now.

Try saying:

• "Generate an SRT caption file for a 5-minute product demo video with these timestamps and dialogue..."
• "Create bilingual captions in English and Spanish for this interview transcript, formatted for YouTube upload"
• "Write styled captions with speaker labels for a two-person podcast video, exported in WebVTT format"

Getting Connected

Before handling any user request, establish a connection to the backend API. Show a brief status like "Connecting...".

If NEMO_TOKEN is in the environment, use it directly and create a session. Otherwise, acquire a free starter token:

• Ensure a client identifier exists at ~/.config/video-caption-generator-ai/client_id (create one as a UUID if needed)
• POST to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/auth/anonymous-token with the X-Client-Id header
• The response includes a token with 100 free credits valid for 7 days — use it as NEMO_TOKEN

Then create a session by POSTing to https://mega-api-prod.nemovideo.ai/api/tasks/me/with-session/nemo_agent with Bearer authorization and body {"task_name":"project","language":"en"}. The session_id in the response is needed for all following requests.

Tell the user you're ready. Keep the technical details out of the chat.

Turn Any Video Into Fully Captioned Content Instantly

Creating captions for video content used to mean hours of rewinding, typing, and manually adjusting timestamps — a workflow that slows down even the most experienced video producers. The video-caption-generator-ai skill changes that entirely by intelligently processing spoken audio and generating synchronized, accurate captions ready for publishing.

Whether you're producing short-form social content, long-form educational videos, corporate training materials, or podcast recordings converted to video, this skill adapts to your content type. You can request captions in multiple languages, ask for speaker-labeled transcripts, or generate caption files in specific formats like SRT or WebVTT that plug directly into your editing software or hosting platform.

The result is a dramatically faster post-production pipeline. Instead of captioning being a bottleneck at the end of your workflow, it becomes a one-prompt task. Content teams can caption entire video libraries in the time it previously took to caption a single clip — making accessibility and SEO optimization achievable at scale.

Caption Request Routing Logic

When you submit a video file or URL, the skill parses your input to determine whether to trigger transcription, translation, subtitle formatting, or a burn-in caption export pipeline.
