🚀 How It Works: 3 Steps to AI-Generated Video Posts

  1. 🤖 AI Researches & Creates Your Video Script

Automatically fetches trending AI/LLM stories from Hacker News
Generates a 30-second viral video script with:
Attention-grabbing hook
Balanced analysis with statistics
Call-to-action ("Hit follow to stay ahead in AI!")
Writes two caption versions:
Long (50 words + hashtags)
Short (2 sentences for platforms like Twitter/Threads)
2. 🎥 Heygen Generates the AI Avatar Video

Uses your preferred Heygen avatar/voice (configure in "Setup Heygen")
Applies a professional background video (included)
Processes the video in ~8 minutes (wait time adjustable)
3. 📣 Auto-Publishes to 10+ Platforms via Blotato

Uploads video to Blotato’s CDN
Publishes natively to:
✅ Instagram | ✅ YouTube | ✅ TikTok | ✅ LinkedIn
✅ Twitter/X | ✅ Facebook | ✅ Threads (coming soon)
Platform-specific optimizations:
Instagram/YouTube: Long captions + hashtags
Twitter/Threads: Short captions
TikTok: Vertical video formatting
