AI UGC Engine

What it is

A fully automated content production engine that generates 550+ AI short-form videos per day for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Each video is scored by a WinnerScore formula that evaluates hooks, CTAs, and archetypes — and the system uses those scores to improve the next batch.

The economics: $1/video. At scale, equivalent to $22K–$44K/day in Meta ad spend.

How it works

Videos are generated via Higgsfield CLI, orchestrated in a TypeScript ESM monorepo. Apify handles research and intel ingestion (trending sounds, winning hooks, competitor analysis). Telegram is the control surface — approve, reject, and monitor runs from your phone. Claude scores output and feeds learnings back into the next generation cycle.

The self-improving loop

Every video gets a WinnerScore based on engagement signals. High-performers get dissected: hook structure, CTA placement, visual archetype, pacing. Those patterns get injected back into the next generation prompt — so the engine gets better with every run.

Current status

Active development (May 2026). Monorepo scaffold, type system, and core pipeline in progress.
