How to Automate Your Viral Video Factory in 3 Simple Steps
(Watch the video above to see this workflow in action!)
Ever see a video rack up millions of views and wonder, "Can I create that kind of content without losing hours of my life?" For entrepreneurs and online marketers, producing viral content often feels impossible due to the endless cycle of research, scripting, filming, and editing.
But what if you had a streamlined, automated system—a 'viral video factory'—that handled it all for you?
Today, you'll learn exactly how to build this automated video workflow using Aidolons in just three simple steps. It’s time to transform from an observer into a creator.
A Quick Mindset Shift: AI is Your Tool, Not Your Coworker
Before jumping in, let's clarify something important. You've probably heard the advice: "Treat AI like a colleague." We’ve found that approach usually disappoints. AI is powerful but incredibly literal—it thrives on clear, specific instructions.
- ❌ Myth: Treat AI as a creative partner.
- ✅ Reality: Treat AI as a precise, powerful tool.
Think of AI as a wrench: it does its best work when you match it exactly to the task. Specificity unlocks its true potential.
Quick Tip: Don’t say, "Write an email." Instead, ask, "Write a friendly, 100-word follow-up email to Jane Doe referencing our Tuesday call, asking about the proposal, and inviting her to schedule a meeting."
Your 3-Step Viral Video Automation Workflow
With the right mindset established, let’s automate your viral video production from concept to upload.
Step 1: Automate Your Research
Don't spend hours manually analyzing TikTok or YouTube trends. Use an AI agent, like Aidolons’ Deep Research Tool, to generate precise trend reports for you.
Our exact research prompt:
"Use the Deep Research Tool to find what videos created with Veo 3 are going viral. Explain what Veo 3 is, why it’s special, and highlight specific topics and techniques creators use successfully."
This targeted prompt gives the AI clear instructions, resulting in a detailed trend analysis that fuels your content strategy.
Step 2: Generate and Refine Video Ideas
With the research in hand, have your AI generate video ideas aligned with current trends. Use a direct, specific prompt:
"Based on this research, give me 20 short, visually engaging ideas suitable for 8-second Veo 3 videos. Avoid complex scenes or text-heavy concepts."
Remember, your first results might need refining—iteration is key. Simply provide feedback like "simplify these ideas" or "make them visually simpler," and you’ll quickly get usable concepts, such as:
- Corgi Splash: Life-jacketed corgi jumps into a kiddie pool, wagging tail and splashing.
- Hoodie Snap: Person snaps fingers, and a hoodie instantly pops onto their head.
These straightforward ideas are ideal for AI-generated video content.
Step 3: Generate and Auto-Upload Your Video
