Automate POV video creation, approval, and multi-platform posting

Generates, renders, and posts short POV videos to Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube after your email approval.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues; a person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Producing short-form video content consistently means coming up with ideas, creating the video, getting sign-off, and manually posting to multiple platforms every single day. Keeping that pace up by hand burns out even a dedicated content team.

Who it fits

Social media managers and content creators producing short-form video content on a regular schedule.

How it works

  1. Runs daily to generate a new POV video idea and script using AI
  2. Creates the images, video, and voiceover automatically
  3. Renders the finished video and emails it to you for approval
  4. Once approved, posts the video to Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube
  5. Logs the status of each post in a Google Sheet
What you get

Videos that are ready the moment you say yes

You get a finished short video generated and ready to post the moment you approve it by email.

What you get

A finished, approved video published automatically to Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, with progress tracked in a spreadsheet.

What you need

OpenAI, PIAPI.ai, ElevenLabs, and Creatomate API keys, plus Google Sheets and Gmail accounts.

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.
