AI faceless video generator that auto-posts to YouTube and TikTok. Pick a topic, a voice, and a schedule. We write, voice, caption, and post every Short for you.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm the maker of PassiveShorts, and I'm really excited to finally share it here.
This started with a simple frustration: everyone says "just start a faceless YouTube or TikTok channel," but nobody tells you it's a daily grind. Write a script, generate a voiceover, find visuals, edit it, add captions, export, upload, repeat. Most people (me included) burn out in the first two weeks, long before the algorithm ever rewards them.
So I built PassiveShorts to run that entire loop for you.
You set it up once:
Pick a topic from 5 ready-made niches (Scary Stories, Jokes, Life Pro Tips, Today I Learned, You Should Know) or write your own
Pick a look from 19 visual styles (Photorealistic, Cinematic, Anime, Kurzgesagt, Claymation, and more)
Pick a voice from a library of natural AI voices, and a caption style that matches your brand
Pick a schedule, connect YouTube or TikTok, and choose your days
After that it runs itself. We write the script, generate the voiceover, create the visuals, add the captions, and publish every video to your channel automatically. No editing, no face, no manual uploads.
A few things I care about that make it actually usable:
You stay in control. Post public, private, or straight to your TikTok drafts so you approve each one before it goes live.
Run up to 10 series at once across different niches or channels, all from one dashboard.
The videos are yours with full commercial rights.
I'd genuinely love your feedback, especially on the visual styles and voices. What niche would you point it at first? And if there's a platform or feature you wish it had, tell me, I'm reading every comment today.
Thanks for checking it out 🙏

The risk here isn't video quality, it's that nothing in the loop has a human before publish. One Today I Learned script that states something false confidently goes out under the user's channel name and they find out in the comments. I'd make hold for review the default for the first 10 videos, then let people switch it off once they trust the scripts. Costs you nothing on the demo and saves the accounts that would have churned angry.
@asadmalik901 True, that's why I've added option for users to write custom script and they can set it to post only to private or draft mode, so people can verify the content before posting.
And the slideshow creator is completely manual.

@vijayabhaskar_j Optional is doing a lot of work in that sentence. The people most likely to get burned are exactly the ones who never open settings. If draft mode were on by default for the first 10 videos you'd lose close to zero activations, because anyone motivated enough to connect a YouTube account will click approve. I'd bet almost nobody in your current base has touched that toggle.
@busmark_w_nika Hi, I've been running 3 YouTube channels for a week now, and honestly, about half the videos get 1.5k+ views, while the other half struggle to reach even 10 views. Might be because they're new channels, but as far the reactions, judging from the comments alone, they're well received, just as any normal video would've received.
the fully-automated pipeline is the part that gives me pause, not the AI voice or captions specifically. YouTube and TikTok have both been tightening enforcement against mass-produced, low-effort AI content this year, and "pick a topic and a schedule, we post everything" sounds like it's optimized to get a channel flagged rather than to build one that lasts. is there a human review step anywhere before something goes live, or does it genuinely post on autopilot end to end?

auto-posting on a schedule is the part most tools skip 🙌 which niches convert best for you?
