PassiveShorts

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 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?

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.

Do you have any results how people react on these AI generated videos?
