The problem it solves

You've written a batch of video scripts, but recording or outsourcing a voiceover for each one takes time and money. Keeping track of which scripts are done and finding the audio files afterward adds even more overhead.

Who it fits

Video ad creators or content teams producing voiceovers for multiple scripts at once.

How it works

  1. The system reads scripts from your Google Sheet that haven't been processed yet
  2. It sends each script to Google Gemini's text-to-speech service to generate a voiceover
  3. The raw audio is converted into a standard audio file
  4. The finished file is uploaded to Google Drive
  5. The sheet is updated with a link to the audio and marked complete
What you get

Voiceovers ready to drop into your next edit

You get a finished AI voiceover generated for every script in your list, uploaded to Drive and linked back to your sheet automatically.

What you get

A folder of finished voiceover audio files in Google Drive, one per script, with the spreadsheet updated to show what's done.

What you need

A self-hosted automation server, a Google Sheets account, a Google Drive account, and a Google Gemini API key.

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.
