AI Reel Studio

Overview
AI Reel Studio is an end-to-end automated content pipeline: give it a topic and it writes an AI script, generates images, synthesizes a voiceover, assembles everything into a short-form video, and publishes it to YouTube and TikTok — with zero manual input at any step.
Chaining several AI services (script generation, image generation, voice synthesis) into one pipeline that runs unattended was the core challenge — every step has to handle failures and retries gracefully, because there is no human in the loop. Assembling the final video with FFmpeg and automating publishing to two platforms completed the zero-touch workflow.

Frontend: React with Vite and Tailwind CSS — the dashboard where users create reels and manage the pipeline
Backend: Node.js with Express, Supabase, and cron-scheduled jobs
AI services: OpenAI, Replicate, ElevenLabs
Video & publishing: FFmpeg assembly, published via the YouTube and TikTok APIs
Payments: Dodo Payments subscriptions
