What they did: Pedro shared the pipeline behind his short AI clips. A GPT model finds recent videos that beat their creator's usual numbers and breaks down why. Picsart's AI director adapts that pattern to a new subject (here a bald man and a hairless cat with one synchronized towel reveal), keeping the pacing but replacing footage, characters and story. An automation in Make posts to TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels and tracks which formats hold viewers.
Results: He reports $12,900 in revenue last month from a system costing $44 a month and 1 hour to set up. The post has 1,839 views (X, Oct 16, 2026).
