Two reasons video production stalls
Content lives in chats, notes and people's heads
The script is in one chat, the thumbnail in another, the footage is with the editor, and the release date is in the producer's head. A month later nobody remembers where things are or what stage a video is at. Every new person starts with the question "where is it?".
Routine eats up weeks
Writing scripts, preparing thumbnails, transcribing episodes, cutting shorts, uploading videos, building reports, going through comments, writing descriptions and tags. Work that doesn't need a human but takes up all of their time.
What you stop doing by hand
The five stages every video goes through.
Tracking trends and copying numbers
- looking for what took off for competitors
- coming up with new video ideas from scratch
- pulling YouTube numbers into one report
- going through comments and drafting replies
Writing from a blank page
- writing scripts for long videos, shorts and reels
- coming up with the first 10 seconds of a video
- researching your podcast guests in depth
- AI writes in your voice, not a generic one
Searching for where things are
- everything about each video in one place: open it and see the status, the date and who's responsible
- no more digging through chats for footage, links live in the video card
- the content plan builds itself from the dates
Watching hours of footage
- transcripts of all your videos with no extra subscriptions
- transcript editing and timecodes
- picking and cutting shorts from a long episode
Uploading and passing links around
- coming up with titles, descriptions and tags
- designing thumbnails from scratch
- uploading videos to platforms
- updating links and statuses, they fill in on their own
Two options: Base and Studio
A solo creator or a small project. No setup needed: watch the video, copy the template, get to work.
Needs a server and three days of setup. Three consultations with me are included.
Base
Everyone has AI. Here it's connected to the one place where all your content lives: every video, script, thumbnail and your style. Prompts and the database work together on every video.

- AI is connected to that place
- a knowledge base of ready-made prompts built on videos with millions of views
- ready-made Notion templates to track content: every video with its status, script, thumbnail and links in one card
- 11 prompts for YouTube and Instagram*, built on real videos: scripts, the first 10 seconds, titles, descriptions, thumbnails
- an "Author's style" page: AI writes in your voice, not a generic one
- prompts and the database are linked: AI sees your video, your style and your plan, not an empty chat
- a setup guide and a walkthrough video from the author
- a 30-minute setup call with me
Studio
Everything in Base. Plus it transcribes, cuts shorts, publishes, and collects reports and comments on its own.

What exactly do I get?
A link to the Notion template and a walkthrough video where I show the whole system. You click "Duplicate" and the system with all its tables, prompts and guides appears in your workspace. Learning and setting up Base takes about 30 minutes. The copy is yours forever, change it however you like.
How does payment work?
You message me on Telegram and I send the details for a USDT transfer on Bybit. Once it arrives, I confirm and send the template link in the same chat. It usually takes a few minutes.
Do I need a paid Notion plan?
Yes, $20 a month per team member. Contractors can be invited as guests for free.
I'm not a developer. Can I handle Studio?
Setup happens in a conversation with an AI assistant: it reads the guide and does the steps for you. Plus three consultations with me.
But honestly: it takes three days of your attention. If you don't have three days, take Base, it takes 30 minutes.
Can I start with Base and move to Studio later?
Yes, that's a normal path. Base brings order, Studio adds automation on top. Message me before buying Studio and you'll just pay the difference.
How much does Studio cost to run?
From $177 a month: Notion and Claude subscriptions, a server, video storage. Plus $15–30 a year for a domain.
Does it work for any social network?
Yes. The tables, prompts and content plan aren't tied to a platform, you edit the list of platforms to fit yours. The automations are currently connected to YouTube, Instagram* and VK.
