Video Is the Future. AI Makes It Possible.

If you run a business, lead a personal brand, or sell anything online —
video isn’t optional anymore.

People want to see it, hear it, feel it.
But here’s the problem:

• You don’t have time to script

• You hate editing

• You’re not “camera ready”

That’s where AI steps in.

You don’t need to be a filmmaker.
You need to know how to plug the right tools together.

Why AI Video Is a Business Superpower

Here’s what AI-powered video lets you do:

✅ Turn blog posts into explainer videos
✅ Generate product promos with voiceovers
✅ Create pitch videos or investor intros
✅ Animate testimonials or case studies
✅ Build full YouTube clips without touching Premiere Pro

And you can do it in hours — not days.

The AI Video Stack (Starter Edition)

Here’s a simple tech stack you can use right now:

🧠 Script Writing

Use ChatGPT or Claude to write scripts in your tone.
Prompt it with context, goals, and examples of your past content.

Prompt example:

“Write a 60-second video script promoting our new productivity tool. Tone: casual but confident. CTA: Start your free trial today.”

🗣️ Voice Generation

Use ElevenLabs or Play.ht to turn your script into high-quality voiceovers.
Choose a voice or clone your own.

🎥 Video Creation Tools

Pick your style:

• Pika / Sora / RunwayML – for cinematic, AI-generated visuals

• HeyGen / Synthesia – for talking-head avatar videos

• Veed.io / Descript – for editing with voice + screen content

• CapCut – for adding dynamic subtitles and effects

Start with templates. Then layer in visuals, B-roll, text overlays.

🧩 Assembly + Branding

Use tools like Canva Video, CapCut, or Descript to stitch things together, apply brand colors, logos, and music.

Bonus: Use InVideo or Lumen5 for blog-to-video if you’re repurposing written content.

What Kinds of Videos Work Best for Business?

Here are 5 high-impact formats:

1. Explainers – Show what your product does in 60 seconds

2. How-Tos – Teach one clear thing your customer struggles with

3. Social Proof – Share testimonials or results visually

4. Founder/Brand Story – Use AI avatars if you're not on camera

5. Updates – Announce new features, offers, or wins

Don’t Overthink the Polish

The best-performing videos often aren’t the prettiest.
They’re:

• Clear

• Fast

• Useful

• Branded enough to feel legit

AI can get you 80% there.
You can refine the last 20% — or just ship it and move on.

Final Thought:

Video used to be the final step for “real” businesses.
Now, it’s the first impression.

And with AI, there’s no excuse not to start.

Your audience wants to see you.
Or at least, a version of you that explains, teaches, and sells.

Start simple. One tool. One script. One upload.

Then scale.
