The problem it solves

Keeping a steady stream of short-form video content flowing takes constant ideation, editing, and posting, and it's easy to fall behind. You want a consistent presence on Instagram without spending hours planning and producing every clip yourself.

Who it fits

A social media manager, creator, or small brand that wants regular short-form video content without the production work.

How it works

  1. A schedule triggers the workflow at set times each day
  2. AI brainstorms a video concept and writes a detailed prompt
  3. An AI video model generates the clip
  4. The finished video is uploaded and scheduled to Instagram
  5. You get a notification once it's published, and the details are logged to Google Sheets
What you get

Video content that appears without you filming

Fresh short-form videos appear and get posted to Instagram on your schedule, without anyone behind a camera.

What you get

A finished short video published to Instagram, with a log of every idea and post.

What you need

An AI video generation account, an Instagram publishing tool, and a Google Sheets account.

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.
