Set up Cardboard in ChatGPT or Claude

Cardboard edits video right in the chat: bring in your clips, say what you want, and the edited video plays there. It works on every Cardboard plan, with no API key.

ChatGPT

  1. Find Cardboard in Plugins. Open the Plugin directory in ChatGPT and search for Cardboard.
  2. Install and connect. Select Install plugin, then Connect and sign in with your Cardboard account.
  3. Mention it in any chat. Type @Cardboard and ask for your video. ChatGPT plans the edit, Cardboard cuts it, and it plays in the chat.
