What HighlightPilot is
HighlightPilot is a live Twitch monitoring and automatic clipping product. It watches channels you choose, detects high-engagement audience moments, and creates official Twitch clips through Helix into a review inbox. Pricing is $2 per monitored channel / month after a 3-day free trial on the first seat.
- Cloud multi-channel seats (not a desktop recorder)
- Spam-aware moment detection from live audience energy
- Clip Inbox with scores, why-clipped context, Keep/Miss learning
- No VOD processing, no vertical Shorts export, no auto-post to other platforms
What FragCut markets
FragCut markets a Twitch VOD clipper: paste a Twitch VOD URL or upload gameplay, let AI look for highlight signals (kills, clutches, reactions, and similar), and export vertical 9:16 clips with captions for TikTok, Shorts, and Reels. It is positioned as post-stream analysis — not a live multi-channel Helix clipper.

Who should choose which
Choose HighlightPilot if…
- You want clips while the stream is still live
- You cover many channels and need seat-based monitoring

Can you use both?
Often yes. HighlightPilot can capture official Twitch clip candidates live; a VOD/Shorts or local-capture tool can handle editing or PC gameplay workflows later. They are different layers of a content pipeline.
