The problem it solves

Creating a cloned voice usually means downloading video, converting audio, and uploading it by hand for every single sample. If you need to build several voices, that manual process adds up fast and pulls you away from other work.

Who it fits

A content creator, marketer, or studio that needs multiple AI voice clones built from existing video.

How it works

  1. Reads a list of YouTube links and voice names from a spreadsheet
  2. Extracts and downloads the audio from each video
  3. Submits the audio to ElevenLabs to create a new cloned voice
  4. Saves the resulting voice ID back to the spreadsheet
What you get

Voice clones built without recording a single line

You get a ready-to-use cloned voice for each video on your list, built automatically from existing YouTube audio.

What you get

A set of cloned AI voices in ElevenLabs, with each voice ID recorded in your spreadsheet.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, an ElevenLabs account on a paid plan, and a RapidAPI key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
