Kairo

Kairo is an AI video generation platform that ships as a desktop app. React and TypeScript inside Tauri, talking to a FastAPI backend.

The pipeline runs in three stages. A Writer produces a ten scene script through OmniRoute LLM routing. A TTS module narrates it and keeps the word boundary timestamps edge_tts returns, so the narration is not just audio but audio with known positions in it. An Aligner then reads every scene against a 2.25 words per second baseline and flags the ones that will not sit in their slot.

The last stage writes the edit. Scene definitions go in as JSON and an EDL comes out, so the cut is assembled from data rather than dragged together by hand. Manual production effort on a video dropped by 80%.

In the same run I built Fable, a Shopify app with three custom components, and dockerised the stack behind CI/CD.
