How to automate a YouTube channel
You can automate the production of a YouTube channel: a script, a voice, pictures, captions and a cover for every video, made on days you choose. You still decide the subject, the video type, the rules and whether each video waits for your approval or is published by itself. Ginvid's Autopilot does this, emails each finished video, and publishes to YouTube only if you switch that on. No tool, Ginvid included, can promise views or growth.

What can be automated
- Ideas: a fresh topic within the channel's subject each time, and whole series planned part by part.
- Production: the script, the voice, a picture or clip for each scene, captions and a cover.
- Timing: a new video on the days of the week you pick, in the channel's language and voice.
- Delivery: an email with the finished video and its cover, or an upload to YouTube.
What stays with you
- The subject and the rules of the channel: what it covers and what it never does.
- Whether to publish: you can read and edit every video before it goes out.
- The questions YouTube asks per video: made for kids and the AI label.
- Fact-checking where the video states facts, and the final look at titles and descriptions.
Two ways to publish
| Email first (the default) | Publish by itself | |
|---|---|---|
| What happens | Each finished video arrives by email, with a download link and its cover | Each finished video is uploaded to your connected YouTube channel |
| Your part | Read it, edit it if you like, and post it | Set it up once, then check the channel |
| What you confirm | Nothing in advance | Who can see it, made for kids, the AI label and when it goes public; Ginvid asks once and names the connected account |
| Delay | Not applicable | At once, or later so you can look first; YouTube's own scheduled publishing is used |
How to set it up in Ginvid
Open the Video page and use the Autopilot setting, or go to New autopilot. Give the channel a subject, pick the video type, voice and language, and choose the days. Make starts the channel's first video, and the following ones arrive on the days you set. If you want videos posted to YouTube by themselves, connect your channel and answer the questions Ginvid asks first; it never assumes the made-for-kids answer.
Autopilot comes with every membership and costs nothing to switch on. Each of its videos costs what the same video costs made by hand, and Autopilot pauses and tells you when credits run low. A Starter membership runs one autopilot at a time, Creator three and Pro twenty.
Keep an automated channel on the right side of YouTube's rules
YouTube's inauthentic content policy is about what the videos are like, not how they were made: it covers videos that look made from a template or mass-produced, and says a series is fine when each episode has its own storyline, focus or concept. Give an automated channel a subject wide enough to have many different episodes, and read what it sends you. YouTube's rules on AI disclosure apply to every video, automated or not; see Is AI-generated content allowed on YouTube?
Limits
- Autopilot does not create the YouTube channel, choose your subject or promise any result.
- It makes the kinds of video Ginvid makes. A video that needs you on camera, or footage only you have, still needs you.
- A channel that publishes by itself will post what the AI wrote unless you stop it; use the delay and read the first videos closely.
