What is Powder?
Powder is a Windows app that empowers gaming content creators, gamers, and video editors to transform lengthy gameplay recordings and multi-hour gaming streams into impactful social media clips with ease. Powered by cutting-edge local AI, Powder automatically identifies the most impactful moments—from emotionally charged reactions with laughter and rage, to spikes in community chat activity, to game-winning knock-downs, headshots, and goals—all within moments and in just a few clicks.
The tool uses over 35 AI models trained in-house and fine-tuned to capture the nuances of popular games like Fortnite, Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, Rocket League, Call of Duty, and Helldivers 2. Powder AI processes both video and audio from gameplay recordings or streams from Twitch, YouTube, Kick, or other VODs, identifying noteworthy moments automatically. It supports automatic montages that stitch clips together into shareable compilations in one click, and creates optimized short videos for TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and more.
Powder is designed for gamers who want to share their best moments, gaming creators looking to grow their audience, and video editors who need to efficiently repurpose long videos into short-form content. The app saves creators, their video editors, and supporting community teams 10+ hours per week. With unlimited content analysis and exports, Powder AI runs on-device on Windows PCs, empowering users to analyze gameplay and streaming content without costly cloud computing fees.
Powder Pro offers real-time automontages powered by AMD XDNA™ NPUs, leveraging AMD Radeon™ graphics, AMD RDNA™ architecture, and advanced AI-driven NPUs for seamless highlight capture without impacting gameplay. The Powder SDK provides a real-time perception layer for AI-native Windows applications with on-device video understanding, audio analysis, and context-aware highlight detection.
