AI tools for content creators

Ship more content without burning out. Tested stacks for ghostwriting, faceless video, solo podcasts, newsletters, AI music, and short-form reels.

21 stacks27 tools used

Four tools cover the whole loop: Claude writes the script, ElevenLabs reads it, CapCut cuts it, and Post Bridge publishes the same vertical video everywhere at once. That is the setup underneath most of the faceless video, short-form, and repurposing stacks below. Podcasters swap the voice step for Riverside and Descript; if music is part of the format, Suno or Udio go in as well.

What to actually pay for

Core set
$20/mo

Scripts and hooks that do not read like a model wrote them. Long context means you can hand it a full transcript and get a usable outline back rather than a summary.

The voiceover engine behind most faceless channels: cloning, multilingual output, low-latency streaming. It is also the cheapest line in this setup.

CapCut
$9.99/mo

Auto-captions, auto-cut, and templates. Almost every short-form stack on this site runs on it, and the free tier is enough to publish daily, so read the price here as a ceiling.

Post Bridge

Removes the manual reposting pass at the end of every edit. One vertical video lands on TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, LinkedIn, Threads, and Bluesky.

Monthly total
Script, voice, edit, publish
$44.99/mo
List price
Swaps and later additions
$24/mo

Edit audio and video by editing the transcript. The fastest route from a raw recording to a cut episode, and it handles filler words for you.

Opus Clip
$15/mo

Turns one long video into a batch of captioned verticals. The repurposing step, worth paying for only if you already publish long form.

Riverside
$19/mo

Local-track recording for interviews, which is what keeps a guest's audio usable when their connection is not.

$8/mo

Full tracks with vocals and stems from a prompt. Intros, outros, and background beds without a stock-music subscription.

Midjourney

Thumbnails with a house style consistent enough that a channel looks like one channel.

Swap rather than stack. Podcasting replaces the voice step with Riverside and Descript, repurposing long video is Opus Clip's job, and none of the three earn a slot until the format calls for them.
