The problem it solves

Producing short-form videos consistently means juggling scripting, image creation, animation, voice-over, and editing tools, and it eats up hours you don't have. Keeping up a regular posting schedule becomes hard when every video takes so much manual work.

Who it fits

Content creators, digital marketers, and social media managers publishing regularly on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram Reels.

How it works

  1. A new video idea in your spreadsheet triggers the process
  2. AI writes the video caption and generates an image for each scene
  3. The image is turned into a short video clip
  4. A voice-over is added to narrate the content
  5. Everything is combined into a finished video and you get a notification when it's ready
What you get

Videos ready to post

You get a finished short-form video, complete with AI visuals, voice-over, and edits, from a single content idea.

What you get

A finished short-form video file, ready to publish, plus a notification when it's done.

What you need

OpenAI, image and video generation API keys, an ElevenLabs account, and Google Workspace for Sheets and Drive.

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.
