AI Content Production Stack

I don't use one AI tool. I run a chain of them, on purpose.

Six stages, ten tools, one person directing the whole thing. This page is a working map of how a Reel actually gets made, start to finish, and it was itself built working with Claude, one of the tools in the stack below.

01 — The Chain

Six stages. Click through each one.

Most people showing "an AI workflow" mean one tool doing one thing. Here's every stage a Reel actually passes through before it ships, and which tool, human or AI, is doing the work at each step.

02 — Choosing the Engine

The video-gen tool changes depending on the job. That's the actual skill.

Anyone can learn one text-to-video tool. Knowing which of five to reach for, based on the shot, the budget, and the brand, is what keeps a content pipeline efficient instead of stuck fighting the wrong tool for hours.

03 — Full Stack

Every tool, and the job it actually does.

ClaudeStrategy, scripting, and hooks, plus building the exact page you're reading right now.
ChatGPTImage generation and editing for thumbnails, product shots, and static visual assets.
HeyGenAI avatar video, letting founders show up consistently on camera without filming daily.
ElevenLabsVoice generation and cloning for voiceover-driven Reels and multilingual content.
HiggsfieldMotion and stylized video generation, strong for dynamic, camera-move heavy shots.
KlingHigh-fidelity video generation, especially for realistic product and lifestyle shots.
Google FlowGoogle's video generation tool, used for longer, more controlled narrative shots.
Luma LabsFast, fluid video generation, useful for quick concept tests before a full production pass.
GeminiMultimodal generation and research, cross-checking outputs across the other engines.
CapCutFinal cut, captions, pacing, and trending audio, where every generated piece actually becomes a Reel.

The point of running this many tools isn't novelty, it's that no single AI tool is best at everything, and knowing which one to reach for on a given brief is what keeps a content pipeline fast without the output looking generic or interchangeable.
