The problem it solves

Keeping a steady stream of video content flowing across multiple social platforms takes constant writing, recording, and uploading. You either fall behind on posting or spend hours every week just to stay consistent.

Who it fits

Content teams, media brands, and marketers who want a steady stream of video content without producing it manually.

How it works

  1. New news story appears in your RSS feed
  2. AI writes a short, engaging caption for the story
  3. An AI avatar reads the caption and generates a video
  4. The finished video is saved to Google Drive and logged in a spreadsheet
  5. The video is automatically posted to Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube
What you get

Video content nobody was making before

Fresh news stories get turned into short AI avatar videos and posted automatically across Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

What you get

A ready-to-publish news video, archived and posted automatically across your social accounts.

What you need

A HeyGen account, a Postiz account, Google Workspace (Drive and Sheets), and an OpenAI API 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.
