AI Article-to-Video Converter

    Inspiration: "Article to Video" services on Fiverr indicate strong "content repurposing" demand from content creators. Converting a deep blog post into an engaging video can greatly expand its reach.

    Target Customers: Content marketers, bloggers, SEO experts, corporate content teams.

    Pain Points: Manually converting long articles into video scripts, finding matching visual materials, recording voiceovers, and editing everything together is extremely time-consuming and requires multiple skills.

    Solution (Micro-SaaS): A fully automated "content repurposing" tool. Users paste blog article URLs, and AI automatically completes summarization, scripting, material matching, voiceover, and video synthesis, generating a "video version" of the article ready for YouTube or social media.

    MVP Core Features:

    • URL Input: Users paste article links.
    • AI Smart Summarization & Scripting: AI reads the full text, extracts core arguments, and organizes them into paragraph-style scripts suitable for video pacing.
    • Smart Material Matching: AI searches and matches relevant video clips or images from Pexels, Unsplash, and other free commercial stock libraries based on each paragraph's semantics.
    • AI Voiceover: Automatically generates natural, fluent voiceovers for scripts.
    • Video Synthesis & Branding:
      • Combines AI-selected materials, voiceovers, and dynamic text titles into videos.
      • Allows users to upload logos as watermarks.
    • One-Click Download: Generate 720p or 1080p video files.

    Development Investment (Technical Implementation): Medium. Similar to the previous idea, core is automated media resource orchestration.

    • LLM API Calls:
      • Article Extraction & Summarization: GPT-4 Turbo or Claude 3 Sonnet. Prompts are key - instruct models not just to summarize but write scripts with "cinematic feel".
      • Material Keyword Extraction: LLM extracts core visual keywords from each script paragraph for material searches.
      • Stock Library APIs: Pexels API or Pixabay API.
      • Voice Generation: ElevenLabs API or OpenAI TTS API.
    • Video Synthesis:
      • Again recommend Remotion. Create several dynamic templates (like picture-in-picture, text animations, image carousels), then fill with AI-generated content for high flexibility.
      • Can also directly integrate Pictory.ai API if they provide it, as this is their core business.
