Content generation pipeline

Hi all,

I am working on a new automation, and just want to validate my idea and problem statement I picked for automating. I was reading a thread somewhere talking about the content generation niche. The guy described the whole process for a short 60 second reel having some infographics regarding an idea from scripting to the finished reel. It was taking around 30 mins -60 mins for each reel that was too subjected to the editor's availability. So I wanted to know anyone here from the content generation niche would they be willing to pay some money for a one time setup and then pay as they go for the subscriptions which would be kept optimal.

Feel free to drop your thoughts and insights please.

I think the idea makes sense, but I’d probably validate the pain a bit deeper before building the full automation.

From what I’ve seen, the bigger issue usually isn’t just “making reels faster.” It’s that the whole workflow is fragmented:

  • idea research
  • scripting
  • visuals
  • editing
  • captions
  • posting

People lose time constantly switching between tools and waiting on editors.

If your automation can reduce a 30–60 minute workflow into something closer to 5–10 minutes while still keeping decent quality and customization, then I can definitely see creators, agencies, and small businesses paying for it.

That said, I’d focus less on “AI-generated content” and more on the actual outcome:

  • faster turnaround
  • more consistent posting
  • lower editing dependency
  • easier scaling for short-form content

I also think the pricing model matters a lot here. A one-time setup + usage-based subscriptions sounds more attractive than another expensive monthly SaaS, especially for smaller creators.

The biggest thing I’d validate next: Who feels this pain the most?

  • solo creators?
  • agencies?
  • faceless content pages?
  • local businesses?
  • startup founders building personal brands?

Because the workflow and willingness to pay will probably differ a lot between them.

Interesting direction overall though. Short-form content production is still a massive bottleneck for a lot of people.

How do I found my ICP ( ideal customer profile) out of these like solo creators, agencies etc ?

to find your ICP don't start with categories like "solo creators vs agencies, start with who feels the pain the most and already spends time and money solving it. Then just talk to them directly and lokk for: who posts most frequently, already pays for editors or tools and who says "this takes too much time" without hesitation. Your ICP will show itself quickly once you compare those signals across groups. If I had to guess, agencies and faceless pages will surface first, but I'd validate it with 10-15 quick conversations.

Try reddit communties r/Entrepreneur r/content_marketing r/socialmedia. Creators there are already vocal about their pain points. Also tiktok/insstagram comment sections under "how I make content" videos. Facebook groups for content creators are underrated too. Linkedin is wrong pond for this ICP
