Turn images into AI videos and auto-post to YouTube and TikTok

Turns a photo and a short prompt into a video, then publishes it to YouTube and TikTok automatically.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues; runs once per each new image and prompt row.

The problem it solves

Creating short video content for social media eats up hours you don't have, especially if you're trying to post consistently across multiple platforms. You end up choosing between quality and speed, and often neither gets posted on time.

Who it fits

A marketer or small business owner who wants to post video content regularly without a video production team.

How it works

  1. A scheduled check looks for new image and prompt entries in a spreadsheet
  2. The image and prompt are sent to an AI video generator to create a short video
  3. The finished video is saved to Google Drive
  4. OpenAI writes a catchy, search-friendly title for the video
  5. The video is posted to YouTube and TikTok, and the spreadsheet is updated with the links
What you get

New videos published without filming a single clip

You turn a photo and a short idea into a finished video that publishes itself to YouTube and TikTok for you.

What you get

A short AI-generated video published to YouTube and TikTok, with the links logged in a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an AI video generation API key, an OpenAI API key, and YouTube and TikTok publishing access.

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.
