Batch-schedule social videos with AI captions and approval step

Turns a folder of videos into scheduled posts with AI-written captions, pending your approval before publishing.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per one per video; a person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Publishing a batch of videos across TikTok and YouTube means writing unique captions for each one, figuring out a posting schedule, and uploading everything one at a time. Doing this for a full content calendar eats up hours every week.

Who it fits

Agencies, content teams, or creators publishing a regular batch of short videos across multiple platforms.

How it works

  1. You drop your video files into a shared folder
  2. The automation builds a posting schedule based on your chosen cadence
  3. AI watches each video and writes platform-specific captions and titles
  4. Every video is saved as a draft row in a spreadsheet for you to review
  5. Once you mark a row approved, the automation publishes it at the scheduled time
What you get

Video batches ready to post after one glance

Your videos get captions, titles, and a posting schedule prepared, ready for you to give a quick nod before they go live.

What you get

A queue of AI-captioned videos scheduled and published automatically once approved.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a Google Sheets account, a Google Gemini API key, plus your TikTok and YouTube 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.
