Frequently asked questions.

Everything people ask before they start a faceless channel with AutoGenShorts.

The basics

What is AutoGenShorts?

AutoGenShorts is an AI tool that runs faceless short-form video channels on autopilot. You choose a niche, an art style, a narrator voice and a schedule; it researches each topic, writes the script, generates the visuals, narrates, adds captions and posts the finished video to YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels.

Who is AutoGenShorts for?

Creators who want a consistent faceless channel without daily editing, people starting a second or third channel, social media managers and agencies running client channels, and educators turning knowledge into short videos. You need no editing or technical skills.

Do I need to film, edit or appear on camera?

No. AutoGenShorts writes the script, generates every scene, records the narration and burns in captions. You never film, open an editor or show your face.

What is a series?

A series is one channel’s worth of content. It sets the niche (or a custom prompt), the writing style, the art style, the narrator voice, how many videos a week it makes and which accounts it posts to. Every episode follows those settings.

Can I edit a series after creating it?

Yes. Change the writing style, voice, art style, custom prompt or schedule at any time. Changes apply to future videos, not ones already made.

Niches, styles and voices

How many niches are there?

17 ready-made niches, such as History Unfolded, Founder Stories, Folklore & Myths, Science & Space and Bedtime Tales, each with its own research rules and story structure. You can also create a custom niche. See all on the niches page.

Can I create my own niche?

Yes. Choose Custom Niche and describe the theme in plain English, or add a custom prompt (up to 2,000 characters) to control exactly how scripts are written. A custom prompt takes priority over the niche and writing style.

How many art styles are there?

17, from Cinematic Bright and Painted Realism to Japanese Anime, Stop Motion, Retro VHS and 16-Bit Game. Every scene in a series uses the same style so the channel looks consistent.

Which narrator voices are available?

27 narrator voices, male, female and neutral, in a range of English accents plus several multilingual voices. You can preview each one and change the voice on a series at any time.

What are writing styles?

Writing styles control how the script reads, not how it sounds: tone, point of view, sentence rhythm and storytelling approach. The narrator voice is chosen separately.

Can I upload my own images or voice?

Not yet. Visuals are generated in your chosen art style and narration uses the built-in voices. This keeps every episode consistent and the automation reliable.

What languages are supported?

Scripts and narration are produced in English today.

Publishing and automation

Which platforms does it post to?

YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels, straight to the accounts you connect. You can also download any video and post it anywhere else.

Can I check videos before they are posted?

Yes. TikTok posts can go to a review queue where you approve each one, or you can switch on autopilot once you are happy. You can pause a series, or download any video, at any time.

Can I pause a series?

Yes. Pause and resume automation per series whenever you like.

Will it create duplicate videos?

No. Each series tracks the topics it has covered and the videos it has made, so it does not repeat itself or post the same video twice.

Is AI-generated content allowed on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram?

Yes, with disclosure. AutoGenShorts marks every YouTube upload as AI-generated automatically. Platforms reward original, varied content, so we recommend one niche per channel and a sensible posting rate rather than cross-posting the same video to many channels.

Can I download the videos?

Yes. Download any finished video in 9:16 from your dashboard and post it wherever you like. Video files are kept for 90 days after they are made or last posted, so download anything you want to keep; videos already posted stay live on your channels.

How long does a video take to make?

Most videos are researched, written, illustrated, narrated and rendered within minutes, well ahead of their scheduled posting time.

Plans and billing

How much does AutoGenShorts cost?

Plans start at $17 a month for 3 videos a week (Creator), then $37 for one a day (Influencer), $67 for two a day (Producer) and $97 for three a day (Empire). Each plan includes one series; extra series are 15% off. Paying yearly saves 20%, and new subscribers get a 14-day money-back guarantee.

What do I get with a free account?

A free account lets you watch demo videos made by AutoGenShorts, with no credit card. Choose a plan when you are ready to start your own series.

Can I run more than one channel?

Yes. Every plan includes one series and you can add more at 15% off the base price, each with its own niche, style, voice, schedule and connected channels.

Can I change or cancel my plan?

Yes. Upgrade or change plan from your account settings. If you cancel, your plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for. New subscribers have a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Who owns the videos?

You do. You keep the rights to the videos created for you; we only process and store them to run the service.

Safety and policies

Is NSFW content allowed?

No. Explicit and unsafe content is blocked, and custom prompts cannot override the safety filters. See the content policy for details.

Am I responsible for what gets published?

Yes. Videos are AI-generated, so treat them like a draft from a fast assistant: check facts and approve what goes out, especially on news or health topics.
