Turn daily news content into short AI avatar videos

The system reads a daily newsletter, writes a script, and generates a short video with an AI avatar presenting it.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats polls until video finishes.

Pattern: Structured Loop (21)

The problem it solves

You want to post daily video content but don't have time to write scripts, film yourself, or edit every day. Keeping up a consistent posting schedule on top of everything else just isn't realistic.

Who it fits

Content creators or social teams who want daily video recaps without filming or editing.

How it works

  1. The system pulls the latest content from a daily newsletter
  2. AI writes a short, conversational script covering the top stories
  3. The script is sent to an AI avatar service to generate the video
  4. The system checks in until the video is finished rendering
  5. You get a ready-to-post video summarizing the day's news
What you get

Daily videos you never had before

You get a fresh short video recap of the day's news with an AI presenter, ready to post without any filming.

What you get

A short AI-avatar video summarizing the day's top stories, ready to post.

What you need

A HeyGen account, an OpenRouter API key, and an Apify 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.
