Rationale
Screencastify is a strong match for the FocuSee concept. It offers screen recording, video editing, and features like automatic caption generation (including multi-language support) and AI assistance for titles and descriptions, which aligns with the automated editing tasks. It also supports multi-source recording (screen, webcam, both) and instant sharing/export. While it doesn't explicitly mention 'automatic cursor tracking and dynamic zoom' as a core automated feature, it does have a 'zoom' editing tool and annotation tools to 'keep your audience focused on what's important,' which could serve a similar purpose. The focus on educators and ease of use also aligns with the target audience of creators and indie builders looking for polished videos quickly.
