I’ve been experimenting with AI content creation. The goal was to create a simple pipeline that could consistently generate characters following a style and theme, splice and edit videos together, and apply light visual effects and color grading.

The result is Cute and Cuddly, which reimagines popular characters in a chibi style, and recently passed 100K subscribers on YouTube.

Virtually all of the process is automated, from pulling character ideas from headlines, to rendering, style matching, outpainting, and publishing the videos. A simple heuristic also determines when to pull down underperforming videos. The main area that’s manual is the music, because it’s fun :-)
