The problem it solves

Keeping up with short-form video content across platforms takes constant idea generation, filming, editing, and posting, more time than most small teams can spare. Trends move faster than you can react to them manually.

Who it fits

Content creators, marketers, and agencies who want to run a short-video content pipeline without filming or editing themselves.

How it works

  1. On a schedule, the system collects viral content ideas and stores them in Google Sheets
  2. AI reviews the ideas and selects ones worth producing
  3. An AI video service generates a short video from the chosen idea
  4. The finished video is published automatically to social media platforms
  5. Google Sheets is updated to track what's been posted
What you get

Videos published without filming or editing

You get short videos made from trending ideas and posted to your social media automatically.

What you get

Finished short videos published automatically to social media, with a tracked content history in Google Sheets.

What you need

An Apify account, a Google account for Sheets, a Gemini API key, a video generation API key, and a Blotato account.

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.
