shikomi.ai is an AI-powered auto-editing plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro. It analyzes your footage, recognizes speech, and reads the content to build a structured edit. Rather than removing silences, it works from what is being said and selects moments based on that content.
The plugin runs four AI editor personalities — Storyteller, Methodical, Discoverer, and Humanistic — and multiple editors propose different editing perspectives at the same time. Everything happens inside Premiere Pro, and the output is a standard sequence you can continue to edit freely. Audio and subtitle data are deleted immediately after processing, with no data retention.
Version 1.0.8, updated in April 2026, improved timeline handling and saved-settings reliability: AI edit results display correctly on timelines with multiple clips on V1, and saved API keys persist across plugin reloads. A free trial covers 30 minutes of raw footage with no expiration and no credit card required. Compatibility starts at Premiere Pro 26.0.0.
