The problem it solves

You know short-form video drives reach, but researching a trending story, writing a script, and producing a polished video every day just isn't realistic for a small team. Editing and posting across multiple platforms on a consistent schedule takes hours you don't have. Missing the news cycle by even a day makes a video far less likely to catch on.

Who it fits

A content creator, marketer, or brand that wants a daily stream of short-form video without a production team.

How it works

  1. Every morning on a schedule, the system searches for trending news worth turning into a video
  2. AI writes a short script with a hook, main content, and call to action
  3. An AI avatar video is generated using that script and a related background clip
  4. Once the video finishes rendering, it's uploaded and published automatically to Instagram and TikTok
What you get

Daily short videos made from trending news

You get a short avatar video built from today's trending news and posted to Instagram and TikTok automatically.

What you get

A finished short video published to Instagram and TikTok, with details logged for tracking.

What you need

OpenAI and Perplexity API keys, a HeyGen account, a Cloudinary account, a Google account, and social publishing access for Instagram and TikTok.

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.
