An AI agent finds the angle, writes the script and posts; you review four things.
Run a faceless AI-news Instagram on a Grok Bot loop: 23.6M views (self-reported)
Five Reels carried about half the views, so you can't pick winners in advance.

Where & with what
What they did
- 1The moveIkjot Juneja started a faceless Instagram account about new AI tools as an experiment and spent about four hours a day making each Reel by hand.
- 2Step 2Find outlier Reels in your niche
- 3Step 3Have an agent turn their hooks into original scripts
- 4ResultHe reports 23.6M total views, with his top Reels at 4.9M ("7 free AI tools by Google"), 2.8M ("Claude Code is now completely free"), 1.8M, 1.2M and 988K (Substack, Aug 27, 2026).
Quick answers
What tools do you need?
Grok (ai assistant with live x context); Blotato (ai content engine: write posts, make faceless ai videos and auto-post to 9 social platforms).
How much does it cost?
You can start for $0: Grok has a free plan. Blotato is paid or trial-based. Check each tool's site for current prices.
Is it allowed?
Yes. Meta may add an "AI info" label to AI-generated media; disclose paid partnerships. Source.
Watch out: Self-reported reach, not income. He says he built the Faceless and Flick tools, which Creatorberry publishes, so he has a stake in this stack, and Blotato's write-up is a vendor blog. Hooks rewritten from other viral videos can be confident and wrong, so check every claim. Check each platform's rules on mass-produced content.
Try it yourself
(Our template, not the creator's prompt.) Here are 5 Reels in my niche that got far more views than usual: [titles, hooks, view counts]. Explain why each hook worked. Then write 5 original Reel ideas for my faceless account about [topic], each with first-frame text under 8 words, a 20-second script and the one claim I must fact-check before posting.
Starter tools
Your first step
Open Grok, paste the prompt above and swap the [brackets] for your own niche.
Full write-up & sources
More detail: He then handed most of the loop to his Grok Bot, xAI's agent: Creatorberry surfaces outlier videos in the AI niche, Grok turns their hooks into original scripts and visual directions, Creatorberry's open-source Faceless and Flick tools render character-dialogue Reels and animations, and Blotato auto-posts to Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. He still checks four things by hand: the first frame, the claim, the final animation and the caption.
Results: Blotato's write-up counts 16.9M across the 17 Reels legible in his profile screenshots. On Oct 14, 2026 he reported 30M+ views and 90K+ followers. No earnings are shared.
Worth knowing: An agent loop makes each attempt cheap, and feeding views, shares and saves back in improves the next batch. The hook does the work: a specific, surprising claim in the first frame.
