You invest hours writing a great blog post. It reaches your readers — but misses the much larger audience that consumes content through video. Manually converting articles to video takes almost as long as writing them.
Written content → LLM extracts key points → Video Agent renders → Distribute on video platforms
An LLM reads your content and writes a production-quality video prompt — extracting the most compelling points and restructuring them for video. The same article can become a 90-second YouTube explainer, a 30-second TikTok, and a 60-second LinkedIn post.
Pull the article from your CMS, a URL, or a local file.
# From a filewith open("article.md") as f: article = f.read()# Or from a URL (use a proper extraction library for production)import requestsarticle = requests.get("https://yourblog.com/posts/your-article").text

Generate a video prompt with an LLM
The LLM acts as a producer — extracting the most engaging points and structuring them for video.

Don’t summarize — adapt. The LLM shouldn’t just compress the article. It should identify the most visual and engaging points and restructure them for video. A great blog point might be boring on video, and vice versa.
