01 THE IDEA

This workflow automates the entire short-form content creation process: scrape trending Reddit posts via Airtable, run qualitative analysis to filter for relevance, generate 60-second videos using VO3 or Runway ML, stitch them together with Creatomate, and auto-post to social platforms. The goal is to build a network of niche social accounts with large followings that can be used to funnel traffic to any product being built.

The business opportunity is to offer this as a managed service or SaaS tool to indie hackers, vibe coders, and small startup teams who need distribution but lack the time or skills to produce content manually. A single operator could manage dozens of themed accounts across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, monetizing through affiliate links, product promotion, or charging clients for the service.

03 THE VERDICT

The workflow is real and proven, but the space is already crowded with tools like AutoShorts.ai doing exactly this. The moat is thin unless you build a large enough account network first. Best as a proprietary distribution channel for your own products rather than a standalone agency business.
