Create & auto-publish YouTube content with Gemini AI, face thumbnails & human review


This workflow transforms any video you drop into a Google Drive folder into a ready-to-publish YouTube upload. It analyzes the video with AI to craft 3 high-CTR title ideas, 3 long SEO-friendly descriptions (with timestamps), and 10–15 optimized tags. It then generates 4 thumbnail options using your face and lets you pick your favorite before auto-publishing to YouTube via Upload-Post.

Who Is This For? - YouTube Creators & Editors: Ship videos with winning titles, thumbnails, and SEO in minutes. - Agencies & Media Teams: Standardize output and speed across channels and clients. - Founders & Solo Makers: Maintain consistent publishing with minimal manual work.

What Problem Does It Solve? Producing SEO metadata and high-performing thumbnails is slow and inconsistent.
