Details

OpusClip is an AI platform used by the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development to analyze podcast recordings and identify the most engaging short clips for posting on social media. The system ranks moments in uploaded video by predicted audience engagement — likelihood to generate comments, shares, and likes. It is used biweekly on publicly intended content, and the output clips are selected by DYCD staff before publication. Training data is proprietary to the vendor and not disclosed.
