AI Workflow for Small TikTok Creators: Idea → Script → Publish

Goal

Ship 5 videos/week with one repeatable system, not daily improvisation.

Time estimate

• 3.5 to 5 hours per week (excluding comment replies)

Tool choice

• Any AI assistant for hooks/scripts
• Any editor with caption presets
• A simple tracker (sheet/notion) for metrics and lessons

5-step execution checklist

1. Plan one lane + five topics (30 min)
   • Choose one lane for the week.
   • Write five audience problems you can solve quickly.
2. Generate scripts (45 min)
   • Produce 5 hooks and 1 short body script per topic.
   • Keep each script in a 20-45 second range.
3. Batch record (60-90 min)
   • Record all five in one setup.
   • Capture two hook variants for your strongest topic.
4. Batch edit + caption (60-90 min)
   • Trim dead air.
   • Apply one caption preset.
   • Export all clips in one session.
5. Publish + review loop (15 min/day)
   • Publish one clip.
   • Reply to five comments.
   • Log one lesson from retention/click behavior.

Verification step

At end of week, verify:

• 5 clips published
• at least 1 clip above your account's median retention
• one hook pattern and one CTA pattern to reuse next week

Expected result

Predictable weekly output and clearer signal on what content format moves viewers toward action.

If you only do one thing

Run step 1-4 in one 3-hour block on one day; remove daily production decisions.
