This AI System Creates Longform YouTube Videos Hourly (n8n NO CODE automation tutorial 🥚)
Create hourly longform YouTube videos with AI and no-code automation
AI-generated YouTube videos are booming – many channels rack up millions of views with motivational content paired with imagery and voiceovers. What if you could automate this process to create new videos every hour without coding?
What this system does
The system described in this tutorial:
- Generates video ideas and scripts using AI
- Creates visuals, voiceovers, and adds background music
- Automatically uploads finished videos to YouTube
- Works for various niches (stoicism, sleep stories, horror, children's content)
How it works: a simple two-agent system
The workflow consists of two main components:
- Ideas agent – Chat GPT generates video concepts and scripts
- Creator agent – An n8n automation workflow that produces and publishes videos
Setting up the ideas agent (Chat GPT)
- Use a prompt in Chat GPT to generate video ideas about your chosen topic
- Copy the results to a Google Sheet template
- The sheet will organize your ideas with titles, descriptions, and production status
Building the creator agent (n8n workflow)
The n8n workflow has three main sections:
Input section
- A scheduled trigger to run the workflow
- Google Sheets integration to get the next video idea marked "for production"
- Prompt generator to create image and voice text for each scene
Creation section
- Gets background music and intro video clips
- Sends requests to JSON-to-video API to generate the complete video
- Handles error checking and retries
Output section
- Updates Google Sheets with video status
- Uploads the completed video to YouTube
- Marks the idea as "done" in your spreadsheet
Tools needed
- n8n – The no-code automation platform (free trial available)
- JSON-to-video – Creates videos with AI-generated visuals
- Eleven Labs – Provides realistic AI voiceovers
- Suno – Generates background music
Making it your own
You can customize:
- Video topics and niches
- Voice style and background music
- Visual appearance and template design
- Publishing frequency
The system can be scheduled to create

Apr 29, 2026Andrej Karpathy – Outsource your thinking, but you can’t outsource your understanding
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96jN2OCOfLs Here's what Andrej Karpathy just figured out that everyone else is still dancing around: we're not in an era of "better models." We're in a different era of computing altogether. And the difference between understanding that and not understanding it is the difference between being a vibe coder and being an agentic engineer. Last October, Karpathy had a realization. AI didn't stop being ChatGPT-adjacent. It fundamentally shifted. Agentic coherent workflows started to actually work. And he's spent the last three months living in side projects, VB coding, exploring what's actually possible. What he found is a framework that explains...
