Make and publish YouTube videos and shorts

“Scripting, editing, thumbnails and uploading take me all week.”

AI can research topics, write scripts, suggest titles and thumbnails, and help schedule uploads. You record, approve and publish.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Pick the video topic and who it's for.
Ask for a script, 5 title ideas and 3 thumbnail concepts.
Record, edit, and schedule the upload yourself.

Copy this prompt

Plan a [length] YouTube video about [topic] for [audience]. Give me: 5 title options, a script with timestamps and a strong first 10 seconds, 3 thumbnail concepts, a description with chapters, and 3 shorts clips to cut from it. Don't upload or schedule anything. Stop there.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
