I built a real AI video processing SaaS from Senegal no GPT wrappers, just HuggingFace + OpenCV + YOLO + Detectron2+Medidapie+ Celery

## The problem I was solving

Every creator I know spends 3-4 hours manually cutting

one video into clips for TikTok and Instagram.

The algorithm rewards volume — not perfection.

Post 20 clips, maybe 2 go viral.

Post 1 perfectly edited video, maybe 0 do.

So I built ClipFarmer.

Not a GPT wrapper — real computer vision

This is the part I want to be clear about.

Most "AI tools" people encounter — especially in

West Africa — are scams. Someone charges you to

access ChatGPT through a Telegram bot and calls it

"AI formation."

ClipFarmer uses actual machine learning models

running on the processing pipeline:

Whisper (HuggingFace) — automatic speech

recognition for subtitle generation. Runs locally

on the worker, no API call, no per-minute billing.

YOLO + OpenCV (cv2) — scene detection and

object tracking. Used to find the best cut points

in a video — not just splitting at fixed intervals

but finding where scenes actually change.

Detectron2 — instance segmentation.…
