Make videos FAST with this AI workflow
Go from idea → script → video in under an hour
Let’s be real: most content creators are still winging it.
Too many steps. Too much time. No scale.
Here’s an AI video workflow I’ve been testing—and it works:
1. Start with Gemini for research.
ABM research isn’t about generic prompts. Go deep. Pull insights. Build a unique angle.
2. Use Gamma to build your slides.
Focus on one big idea per slide. This keeps the structure tight and the message clear.
3. ChatGPT writes the script.
Keep it short. Aim for a 60-second, punchy script. You’re not making a documentary.
4. HeyGen generates your AI avatar.
Choose a style that matches your brand. (It doesn’t need to look like you.)
5. ElevenLabs gives your avatar a voice.
It’s fast, realistic, and easy to tweak your tone.
6. Opus generates your visuals.
You can pull stock footage or create new AI scenes—whatever matches the vibe.
The result?
You go from raw idea to full video in under an hour.
No editor. No film crew. Just strategy + speed.
Once you’ve run it a few times, you’ll start to see the bottlenecks.
That’s when you automate. That’s when you scale.
If you keep publishing these videos, you’ll get a lot of views. ⚙️ The key is daisy-chaining these tools together.
Don’t just play with AI—build a repeatable system.
