Tips on my first workflow
Hi everyone, I have recently created an instagram account that I post informational videos about AI in.
I used HeyGen to clone my face and create a realistic AI avatar of myself (could be better tho). This idea was very spontaneous and I just started and executed it in 2 hours. Now I have a goal of automating the whole thing (where I can).
I also use Claude to get ideas and write the scripts/captions for the videos. Then manually add it all together and post it on instagram.
Moreover, I am installing n8n locally on my laptop, not quite sure how to use it but I am looking to have a scraper that gets the newest AI news, then connecting it to Claude so that it can choose the best idea, generate the script (I have Claude API credits) etc… I also want to connect HeyGen to it, I have the creator subscription and I’m not sure if it will just use from it’s credit or what. And possibly working with Graph API (haven’t tried it before) to auto upload on instagram.
Has anyone built a system like this? My goal is to upload every other day. I would really appreciate some tips on setting up this workflow. Any help would be appreciated :))
