How I Use AI to Automate YouTube Content Creation - Step-by-Step (FULL GUIDE)

AI on YouTube now is so much more than you think it's become a game changer for some creators building their entire workflow surround it and today I'm going to break down how we use AI in my YouTube agency and how it's helping us pamp out videos that get millions of views let's start with research on YouTube research is everything it's the first step like before anything else happens and this is where most creators keep things Hush acting like it's a big secret but all they really do is look up a few similar videos and copy what's working in my team we've got a better system we use two AI tools for coming up with video ideas the first one is called No GPT this tool is a beast it doesn't take away the need to check out other videos but it makes the process way faster instead of sitting through entire videos at to X speed I just drop the link into now GPT and get a summary that summary is pure go gives us ideas that lead to titles and thumbnails but to get those ideas you first need to understand how others are tackling the same topic if we a great idea we dig deeper using the AI chat feature we ask followup questions to see what gaps there are and how our content can go above and beyond honestly the summary feature and the AI chat are the real MVPs here they're the only things we really use on no GPT the transcription feature doesn't really save us much time but it will be important later another tool we lean on is chat gbt of course but not just in the usual way most people use it to brainstorm ideas right also use it to dig deep into competitor and analysis after wrapping up research with no GPT we take those transcripts and upload them to Chad GPT we ask it to look for patterns and structure storytelling Hooks and the kind of info they're dropping aren't with this we can ask Chad GPT to highlight areas where we could amp up our videos for more engagement depending on what the analysis shows it might suggest making the video longer to cover missed points or it will Flack errors and proofread content bottom line after this process we have a clear road map for improvement for example Chad GPT helped us nail the perfect length and structure for cooking videos on the healthy and fast Channel and that's just one of many channels we manage now some of you might be thinking why not just do this all manually well human creativity is awesome but it has its limits it's easy to get stuck in your own ideas with chat GPT you can always start fresh just opening new chat droping new prompt and boom an endless stream of ideas you just need to sift through them take thumbnails for instance we design all our thumbnail Nails manually but during research we also upload competitors thumbnails into Chad gbt we ask it to pick out patterns and elements that make people click and let me tell you some of the suggestions are quite inventive stuff we wouldn't have thought of but they work we saw that with our Chad gbt guide video sure the thumbnail and title might look like everyone else's but the tiny tweaks Chad gbt suggested helped us catch way more attention and the script refined kept people hooked for way Longer Now video production pipeline is complete without script and right by this point we've already locked in the overall idea and the key info we want to include so typically we've got everything jotted down somewhere either in a document or directly in a Chad GPT Chad from there we use a set of refined prompts to generate the scripts we need our prompt system is built around four types of scripts script plans false scripts for shorts and sales Focus scripts each type has its own set of prompts designed for specific scenarios for example with FSE scripts we've set up three main scenarios scenario one is based on audio messages a lot of our best ideas pop up during meetings and calls so we transcribe those and feed them into Chad GPT to generate scripts scenario two is built around the hero's journey idea we've got template for this where we paste it into Chad gbt type in the channel specific details and let it do the magic the third scenario uses pre-existing written content like an article we've got two options here either we blend this info into an existing script or transform the article itself into a script each promt has been designed and fine-tuned to give us solid results they are not perfect and we know that AI is great but can fully replace the human touch so after Chad gbt finishes up one of our script writers and editors jumps into proof fre tweak phrasing and give it a light polish but honestly at that point it's just Minor Adjustments when you think about how much time this whole process saves those small touchups are a breeze the key thing to understand here is that Chad gbt isn't wri in scripts from scratch it's a toll that works under the guidance of professionals if something it generates isn't up to par we rewrite correct and fine-tune until it's perfect sometimes scripts are entirely human written and AI just steps in for polishing making them smoother and easier to narrate so what you're hearing is still very much hum driven but enhanced with a bit of AI Magic once the

script is ready and the story is said we move on to thumbnails and AI plays a big role here too remember how we use Chad gbt to analyze thumbnails earlier all that analysis gets input back into Chad gbt to generate rough draft of our thumbnail we have a detailed drum system for this where we describe the thumbnail step by step the AI generated thumbnail gives us a blueprint which then goes to human designer who brings it to life but even our designers get an AI boost we often need fresh bag grounds for thumbnails and instead of sourcing them manually we generate them using Crea Ai and designers sketch the basic layout with brushes and AI fills in the details the results are pretty solid especially after some color grading and a touch of blur another essential tool in our Arsenal is an upscaler like Remy or magnific our designers have the freedom to choose but the idea is simple sometimes there is no time for high quality Stills so we have to work with screenshots from videos and even if the video isn't 4K the quality can be roof for thumbnails the same goes for Logos or background elements that need a quality bump that's where upscaler like reminy and magnific come in magnific is especially great for upscaling images of people keeping all the facial details intact while Remy works best for Logos and nonhuman elements we don't just use this approach on my personal Channel or the AI Master Channel we apply this same streamline process to every channel that decides to work with my agency and I'm super proud of the results we're delivering we've been building this YouTube Agency for years now and we've partnered with some of the biggest names on the platform take M Vlog for instance one of the top channels about video editing or Flor on ham a massive investment Channel with a super charismatic host we've helped so many creators maximize their potential grow their audiences and boost their revenue because monetization isn't the only way to make money on YouTube you can sell merch Services courses there's a whole world of possibilities but to sell a effectively you need a channel that's not just entertaining but also strategically managed to drive sales that's where we come in if you're curious check the link in the description for a quick questionnaire fill it out get in touch and we'll show you just how high your channel can go when it comes to sound we keep it pretty simple most voiceovers are done by real people because there is just no replacing genuine Human Performance but we do use AI for some parts specifically 11 labs this tool is incredible for cloning voices and generating speech with high quality results but we only use it in specific cases for example if we know it as an issue like a Clen sound or siren during editing and can re-record will just generate that sentence with AI and swap it in another time we use it is for quotes any quote always sounds better when it's read by someone other than the host it gives the video a more Dynamic feel get the idea video editing is still very much a Hands-On process AIS roll here is mostly for automating smaller tasks like generating subtitles for shorts Cap Cod is our go-to for that and when it comes to Bolls yeah we could just use stock footage but people are so familiar with those clips now that they just kill retention so instead we generate AI videos using tools like runwayml or hyper even if these AI generated B- rolls come out looking a little quirky they are way more engaging than the same old stug stuff you can even fly it off as a fun element and it works to take things up a notch we sometimes create our own background music and sound effects using fil MOA I actually made a whole video on this where I break down how you can do the same so here's the takeaway AI isn't a toy it's a tool and if you know how to use it you've got the edge as creators we shouldn't be afraid of AI replacing us what we should be worried about is getting left behind while everyone else is leveling up their content with ai makes us faster more efficient and the content becomes better more engaging and feels way more organic and yeah it helps channels grow faster and make more money no doubt about that so if you've been on the fense about AI it's time to start using it to build your channel and hey if you want to go all in our team can help you out the link to the questionnaire is in the description thanks for watching and I'll catch you in the next one
