Preview Player Reliability and the Agentic Defense Loop on Edits | Bhumi Sabarwal & Ravi Shah

When you’re creating Media in Edits, it should just work — you hit preview and it plays back instantly, captions land accurately, no hiccups while you edit your media. That’s been our north star, and we want to share what we did to get there.

We improved creation reliability across the full stack — iOS, Android, and the server-side — and users can feel the difference. The big unlock? We built AI agents that basically run our reliability loop for us.

They catch regressions, triage the alerts, and trace issues across client and server all the way down to the offending diff — often before the problem even hits production. The results speak for themselves: preview playback failures improved by 88%, which translates to a noticeably smoother creation experience for millions of people.
