Quick answers
What tools do you need?
The channels don't say which AI tools they use. One public tutorial (not from these channels) makes this format with a custom ChatGPT GPT for the shot prompts and Grok Imagine for the images and video.
How much does it cost?
Not shared by these channels. Most AI image and video tools have a free tier or trial, then a paid plan; Grok's paid plans start at $8/mo (x.ai/pricing, Oct 18, 2026).
Is it allowed?
Yes, if it is original. YouTube does not monetize mass-produced or repetitive content. Source.
Watch out: The channel itself doesn't label the videos as AI; realtor.com reported that they are AI-generated. These videos are AI-generated, not real builds: don't copy the construction, and label AI videos as AI (YouTube asks creators to disclose realistic altered or synthetic content). Views and subscribers are reach, not income.
Try it yourself
(Our template, not the creator's prompt.) Write 6 shot prompts for a 20-second AI timelapse Short: [shelter idea, e.g. hidden bunker under a tree] built by one worker from empty ground to a finished cosy room. Same camera angle in every shot, one clear stage per shot (dig, frame, walls, furniture, lights on), realistic lighting, no text. End on a reveal shot.
Your first step
Paste the prompt into your AI assistant and swap the [brackets] for your own niche.
Full write-up & sources
More detail: The channel calls them "realistic animations". Realtor.com reported in June 2026 that the videos are AI-generated.
Results: Its top Short, "Building Secret Underground Room Under Hill", shows about 119 million views, and "I Built a Hidden Bunker Under Tree Roots" shows about 24 million (YouTube, Oct 18, 2026). This is reach; the channel does not share income.
