I built an entire AI social media team, step by step (zero employees)

I built a whole content team out of automated AI workflows, with no employees and no monthly salaries. This video breaks the system down end to end: a rough idea goes in, and a single “Approved” reply to an email is all it takes to get a fully edited video that’s scheduled to publish.

It’s built for solo creators burning out on editing, and for online business owners who need more content out the door without hiring for it. You keep creative control the whole way, because nothing ships until you approve it.

What the video covers

• The two-minute workflow. The finished system running, from idea to a scheduled video.
• Meet the virtual team. How each role (project manager, copywriter, video editor) is an AI “skill” with its own job, and how they fit together.
• Live demo, step by step. Setting up the trigger and generating the script, then the rest of the build on screen.
• The email review checkpoint. Where you approve or push back, so automation never means losing control of what goes out.
• Google Sheets as the control room. Production schedules and token costs get logged automatically.
• How to build your own. The takeaways for putting together a team that fits your business.

Where to start

This is the build that follows Part 1 of the automation series: run your SOP by hand first, then automate it. The editing step in the pipeline is covered in auto-editing video with Claude Code and high-end motion graphics with Claude Code.
