A corporate employee shares how they created 15 short videos in under an hour per week using only Claude, text-to-speech software, and no editing tools.

Key points from the news
- Author made 15 videos in 15 weeks using Claude, text-to-speech, and no editing software, spending ~$20/month
- First videos had **20% retention**; adjustments like shorter length and front-loaded conclusions improved workflow but not engagement metrics
- AI errors (e.g., fact discrepancies) require manual oversight, and the author now categorizes sources to verify claims
Early videos had poor retention—80% of viewers left within 2 seconds—until the author adjusted scripts to prioritize conclusions upfront and shorten length. While one video saw 116.8% average view rate (due to length, not engagement), analytics showed retention stayed flat. The author now refines prompts to handle errors (e.g., fact-checking numbers) and iterates rules for consistency. The process isn’t monetized yet but demonstrates how AI can automate creative workflows for non-technical users.
