Generate AI videos and auto-publish them to YouTube

Generates a video with AI, uploads it to YouTube, and logs the result in a tracking spreadsheet.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats video still rendering.

The problem it solves

You want to keep a steady stream of video content going out, but generating, downloading, and uploading each video by hand takes up a big chunk of your day. Tracking what has been published and where takes even more manual bookkeeping. You want a repeatable pipeline instead of a one-off task every time.

Who it fits

Content creators and marketers producing a regular cadence of video content.

How it works

  1. The process starts manually or on a schedule
  2. AI generates a video based on your predefined prompts
  3. The automation checks in until the video is finished, then downloads it
  4. The video is uploaded to YouTube with an AI-generated title
  5. The result and YouTube link are logged to a spreadsheet
What you get

New videos published to YouTube weekly

You get a finished video generated from your prompts, uploaded to YouTube with a title, and logged in a spreadsheet so you can track every release.

What you get

A published YouTube video and a spreadsheet record of the video, its prompt, and its link.

What you need

An AI video generation account, a YouTube channel, and a Google account for the tracking sheet.

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.
