Social networks: connecting YouTube, TikTok and Telegram

The “Social networks” section is where publishing platforms are connected. YouTube — the “Connect” button, sign in to your Google account and allow video uploads. You can connect several channels. TikTok — sign in via TikTok. Telegram — add our bot as an administrator of your channel and enter the channel's @name or ID. Every channel has a “Comment” field (up to 300 characters) — a note for yourself, e.g. “main, news” or “test”. You can disconnect a channel at any time. Once connected, a channel can be chosen when publishing a video, in “Auto-publishing” and in the project's autopilot settings.

Auto-publishing and autopilot

Auto-publishing (the planner) is a publication calendar: you see what goes where, can add a post manually (video or photo), reschedule or cancel. Time is in Oslo time (Norway), UTC+1/+2 depending on the season. Autopilot is fully automatic project operation. Enable it in the project settings (voice and language must be set): 1. “What to search” — a description of topics; the AI searches the internet for fresh topics. 2. Schedule: “at set times of day” (weekday and time checkboxes in 30-minute steps; the video is prepared N hours before publishing) or “at equal intervals” (e.g. every 30 minutes around the clock). 3. Social networks to publish to. The system invents a topic, writes the script, makes the video and publishes it. If 3 videos in a row fail, autopilot pauses — press “Resume” after fixing the cause. Costs come from your AI balance: watch the remaining balance on the “My finances” page.

Autopilot with your own scenarios: plan and queue

Besides the “AI agent” mode (the AI finds topics itself), autopilot has an “Own scenarios” mode: you upload ready scenarios in advance and autopilot takes them in turn — on the project's schedule (every day, every N minutes, etc.). How to turn it on: project settings → Autopilot → “Where to take video topics from?” → “Own scenarios” (the button turns green) → save the autopilot settings. How to add a scenario: the “Add scenario” button (on the project page or in the autopilot settings). Enter a title, a topic (optional) and the text. You can add up to 3 ads with their own sound to each scenario — exactly like in a regular video (the [AD_N] marker or a start/middle/end position). You can add as many scenarios as you like. The plan is on the project page, the “Planned” tab: a table of rows — #, title, topic, character count, approximate video length and price. The full text is not shown. Buttons: “Edit” (text, title, ads) and a trash can. Order: the “Change order” button — drag a row up or down (or press ▲ ▼). #1 is created and published first. The order is saved immediately. Filters on the project page: “All”, “Planned”, “Published” (by day — the freshest day on top, then “Yesterday” etc.) and “Errors”. The project card shows how many videos are planned, published and failed. When the plan runs out, no new videos are created — add a scenario and it goes to the nearest schedule slot.

What works: views analysis and a smarter autopilot

The “Statistics” page has a “What works” block. It takes your videos published on YouTube with statistics and calculates average views per day (since publication, so older clips do not win automatically). Then it compares them by parameters: project, mode, language, length, autopilot or manual, weekday and publication time (Oslo time). Next to each group is the deviation from the average in percent. Groups of 2+ clips are shown; while there are fewer than six clips the block warns that conclusions are tentative. The autopilot uses this data too: if a project has at least 5 videos published on YouTube with statistics, when searching for a new topic it gets a hint about what the most successful (and with 6+ clips — the weakest) videos were about, and leans toward what resonates with your audience without repeating what is already done. The “own scripts” mode is not affected — you set the scripts yourself.

Shorts from every long video: how to get your first views

YouTube barely shows long videos from a new channel: it has no history yet, and a video can sit at zero views for weeks. Shorts, however, are shown to new viewers right away, even on an empty channel. So the best free way to promote a long video is to cut a few Shorts from it with a link to the full version. How to turn it on: My projects → project → Settings → “Autopilot” block → “Shorts from every long video”: 1, 2 or 3. Save the autopilot. What happens next, without your involvement: 1. The long video is published on YouTube. 2. The AI picks its most striking moments, 12–58 seconds each. 3. Vertical Shorts are built from them: the full-width frame on a blurred background, a large title at the top and “Full video on the channel” in the last seconds. 4. The Shorts go out on the same channel 2, 6 and 12 hours after the long video — not all at once. If TikTok channels are selected in the project's auto-publishing, they go there at the same time. 5. Each Short has a link to the full video in its description, and after publishing the channel leaves a comment with the same link. All Shorts appear in the Planner — you can move or delete them like any other publication. What you can do by hand for a bigger effect: in YouTube Studio set a “Related video” (the full video) for each Short and pin the comment with the link. The YouTube API does not allow this, only Studio does. Pinning comments and clickable links in descriptions are unlocked after channel verification (selfie or ID) — YouTube Studio → Settings → Channel → “Feature eligibility”. Shorts are cut only from videos built from a script with a voiceover. Each Short is a separate YouTube upload and counts towards the daily upload limit.

3D videos on autopilot: a series without repeats

A project can publish 3D videos on a schedule by itself. Open the project → “Autopilot” tab → “Enable autopilot” → “Where to take topics from” → “3D videos”. Choose a world and write the series topic — a general one, for example “driving test questions: intersections, traffic lights, signs, turns” or “quick breakfast recipes”. For each slot the AI picks a new specific question within the topic and sees the titles of the project's previous videos, so the series does not repeat itself. The video duration is chosen right there (≈30–90 seconds); voice, language, format and music come from the project settings. The schedule (days and times or an interval) and channels work as for regular videos: the finished video appears in “My works” and the Planner by itself and is published to the selected channels. Rendering is charged to the project owner's AI balance (about 1–3 kr per video). If the balance is below 5 kr the slot is skipped, with a clear reason in the project's video list.

Autopilot \"Chronicle\": videos from archives and from a folder

The autopilot can make chronicle videos on its own: find real footage in open archives (or take it from your folder), tell about it in the project's voice and publish on schedule. How to turn it on: project → "Autopilot" → source "Chronicle from archive". Settings: • Video type, archive and video length (from 30 seconds to 10 minutes). • Series topic — the agent searches archives for new videos by it. • A favourites folder (optional): if you choose a folder, each slot takes the next video from it in the order they were added, without repeats. When the folder's videos run out, the project searches archives by the topic. If there is no topic, the autopilot stops and says so in the slot's error message. • The project's voice is required: without it there is no narration. If the project has a HeyGen avatar and split screen, a blogger tells the story and takes half of the frame (costs more than a voice). How to add a video to a project's queue: in "Chronicle" press ☆ on a video and choose "To project queue" — the project gets its own folder the autopilot takes videos from. How the video is built: the AI watches the footage, picks short moments and writes text for each (no pauses), the original sound of the footage and the project's music are mixed in. The source and licence are added to the description. Important: if no suitable video is found for the topic, the slot is marked with an error with a clear reason — the autopilot does not take a random off-topic video. Voice and processing are charged from the AI balance, minutes from the plan limit.
