Quick Answers

What tools do you need?

Just the platform account.

How much does it cost?

No paid tools needed: this case uses only the platform itself, which is free to join.

Is it allowed?

Yes. Meta may add an "AI info" label to AI-generated media; disclose paid partnerships. Source.

Watch out: Followers, not income yet. Deleting low-view videos and remaking them is their tactic, not a platform rule. Label the account as AI.
