What it does
- Transcribes the episode word by word
- Proposes ranked reel ideas with source timecodes and an edit concept
- Checks approved ideas against the two minute limit
- Builds editable timelines and caption files for the approved ideas
Your approval boundaries
Approval requiredThese actions always wait for your yes:
- Picking which ideas get edited
- Exporting and posting the reels
You decide what happens next.
More about this workflow
This setup is for marketers and solo creators who need steady output without losing their voice. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.
First, it transcribes the episode word by word. Next, it proposes ranked reel ideas with source timecodes and an edit concept. Then it checks approved ideas against the two minute limit. Finally, it builds editable timelines and caption files for the approved ideas. It works with your photo storage and social scheduler, each on its own login with limited access.
You get the prep work done and waiting for you. The agent stops and asks for your yes before picking which ideas get edited and exporting and posting the reels, and says plainly if a step cannot be undone.
“No reel editing starts until the creator approves specific ideas.”
