Automan
Automated content pipeline: URL → new video → publish.
§ 01·The brief
Fig. A — Problem · Position · Constraint
What it solves.
Automan automates the process of taking a TikTok URL (and optionally additional URLs), extracting audio, generating a new avatar video via AI, and publishing it to multiple social platforms using SocialBee.
- Manual video creation is time-intensive and requires recording equipment
- Repurposing content across multiple platforms is repetitive and easy to skip
- Maintaining a consistent posting schedule is difficult with manual production
- Avatar videos add a personal touch without needing to appear on camera
- Platform-specific optimization requires separate content for each channel
