The problem it solves

Producing short videos takes a long list of manual steps: writing a script, generating images, animating them, adding voiceover and sound, then editing it all together. Doing that for every new idea eats an entire day, so most ideas never get made.

Who it fits

A content creator or small media team that wants to turn a backlog of video ideas into finished shorts without hiring an editor.

How it works

  1. A new idea is picked from a spreadsheet list
  2. AI writes prompts for the video's images and sound
  3. AI generates the images and animates them into video clips
  4. AI creates a voiceover and sound effects
  5. The clips are merged into a finished video and uploaded
What you get

Short videos your backlog of ideas becomes

Every idea on your list turns into a finished short video, complete with images, animation, voiceover, and sound.

What you get

A finished short video, with the spreadsheet updated to show it's done.

What you need

Accounts with an AI text provider, an AI image generator, an AI video animator, an AI voice generator, a video rendering service, a Google Workspace account, and a YouTube 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.
