RunReel — Your AI influencer, on autopilot
Build an AI persona, plug in your own API keys, and RunReel turns out ready-to-post short videos on schedule. You pay providers their real price — RunReel is the machine.
How it works
- Connect your keys. Paste in your Anthropic, Gemini and HeyGen keys. You pay those providers directly at their own prices. RunReel adds nothing on top.
- Build the persona. A guided conversation writes the voice, the backstory and the rules with you — or move in a ready-made persona and skip the writing entirely.
- Set the cadence and leave. Choose how often it posts. From that point the engine runs on its own. You show up in the morning, download, post — about two minutes a day.
What runs every night
The engine runs a full production chain while you sleep: research picks a current topic, the writers' room structures a script, an editor passes eight quality checks, the art department builds the set, every shot is rendered and voiced, the video is cut and captioned, and a finished MP4 waits for you by morning.
The eight quality checks
- Is the topic actually current?
- Does the hook set up a belief?
- Does the payoff resolve that exact hook?
- Is the payoff worth saving?
- Has this persona said it before?
- Does it sound like them?
- Is it the right length for what it's saying?
- Can the shots actually be filmed?
Custom AI avatar generator
Build your own AI avatar from scratch. Design the appearance, wardrobe, voice, and backstory — your persona, used by nobody else. Or choose a ready-made Resident persona to start immediately.
BYOK — Bring Your Own Keys
Connect your own Anthropic, Google Gemini, and HeyGen API keys. You pay those providers at their published prices with no markup. RunReel is the orchestration layer, not a middleman on your AI spend.
Frequently asked questions
I've never made an AI video. Is this too advanced?
No. You don't prompt anything and you don't touch a video editor. You answer questions about who your persona is, and the engine handles everything downstream. If you'd rather skip even that, move in a ready-made persona and set a cadence.
I have no idea what niche to pick.
That is the most common starting point. Ready-made personas exist for exactly this — each one is a market that has already been researched, with a voice and a full topic bank written against it.
Does RunReel post to Instagram and TikTok for me?
The video and the caption are finished and waiting for you each morning. You download and post — about two minutes. We'd rather tell you that plainly than promise a hands-off number we can't hold.
Will the videos look like AI slop?
Slop comes from one model doing the whole job in one pass. Here it is a chain — research, development, writing, an editor that rejects scripts, a locked set, per-shot camera decisions, a real edit.
Where do the topics come from?
From research, not from a model's imagination. Your niche is scanned for what's landing right now, and the results are built into a tagged bank your persona pulls from.
Is this just an animated face reading a script?
No. A face reading a script is one step of eight. The rest — what it talks about, how the script is structured, whether it passes review, how it is shot, how it is cut, how it closes — is where the work is.
Can I build my own avatar, or am I stuck with presets?
Build your own. Appearance, wardrobe, voice, backstory — designed for your persona and used by nobody else. Presets exist to get you moving on day one, not to be the ceiling.
