Script Genie
AI-powered short-form content research and scripting
What is it?
An AI tool that automates the workflow of researching trending topics and creating engaging short-form content scripts.
The problem
Creating short-form content was time-consuming: searching Reddit, X/Twitter, and other platforms for trends, filtering ideas, researching topics, and writing hook-driven scripts.
The idea
Automate the research-to-script pipeline with AI — start with a custom script, then build a user interface and release it publicly.
My role
Designed and built the entire product: research automation, topic filtering, script generation, and the user interface.
How it works
Script Genie scans social platforms for trending topics, helps filter engaging ideas, researches selected topics, and generates scripts designed to hook viewers and maintain engagement.
Key decisions
- — Started as a personal automation script before becoming a product
- — Focused on the technical workflow before considering distribution
- — Released publicly to test market interest
What I learned
- — Building a product is only half the job — distribution is equally important
- — Technical success does not guarantee product success
- — Marketing and user acquisition knowledge is as critical as engineering skill
- — Every project teaches something valuable for the next one
