Imagine having an AI influencer who never sleeps, never asks for a raise, and posts daily content across TikTok, YouTube & Instagram - fully automated.

Sounds sci-fi? We just built it.

The 5-Minute Summary: How to Build an AI Influencer

What this system does:
You type in a one-line idea → AI writes a short story → AI generates 3 cinematic clips → the clips get stitched → and posted automatically to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram Reels.

Why it matters:

  • Daily content, no human editor needed.

  • Costs just $50–80/month plus $4–17 per video.

  • Scales infinitely (more videos = more output, not more overhead).

  • Great for apps, brands, or indie devs who need constant social presence.

Toolchain at a glance:

  1. Claude 4 → Writes 3-scene story (JSON format).

  2. n8n → Automates the whole flow.

  3. KIE.ai (Veo3) → Turns story scenes into 8s video clips.

  4. Fal.ai → Stitches clips into one smooth video.

  5. Google Sheets → Logs titles, links, and posting status.

  6. Blotato → Auto-posts to TikTok/YouTube/Instagram.

End result:

  • A 20–30 second vertical video in 9:16 format, complete with titles and descriptions.

  • Posted automatically to your social media.

  • Looks like a human-made vlog or ad, but entirely AI.

Who this is for:

  • Indie devs & startups → Build consistent social presence without a content team.

  • Agencies → Batch-generate branded influencer content for multiple clients.

  • UA managers → Test dozens of hooks in days, not weeks.
