I am a working developer. I do not have hours a day for content, so the content has to make itself and ask me one question: ship it or not.
What runs
- A small Node service takes a topic, writes a 4-scene script through an LLM gateway, generates four illustrations and a voiceover, and renders a 9:16 reel with ffmpeg: Ken Burns on each image, burnt-in captions, a music bed ducked under the voice.
- n8n runs it at 02:00 every day and sends the result to my Telegram with three buttons: approve, fix, skip.
- Nothing is posted until I tap approve. The first two weeks the account is warmed up by hand.
What it costs
About 0.3M Magica credits per reel for the images and the voice. Music beds were generated once and are reused. The server is the same box that runs my other tools.
What I will write here
One post per reel: the exact steps, the prompt or workflow file, and what broke. If a reel claims something, the post shows it.
