Turn a completed video into YouTube and social posts
An agent handled transcription, thumbnail prep, YouTube metadata, and draft promo posts before Sean approved the final uploads.
- What they did
- Sean placed an exported clip into a Cowork project inbox. Cowork ran Whisper locally to transcribe it, suggested a title and description, then opened Figma and assembled a thumbnail from Sean’s template. After Sean made edits, it uploaded the video to YouTube and prepared Markdown drafts for X, Bluesky, and LinkedIn.
- How it went
- The process still ran past Sean’s one-hour target because each attempt uncovered small system adjustments. He thinks the workflow is getting sturdier, but he has not yet shown that the idea works as planned.
- Tips
- Expect the first few runs to surface setup issues, especially where scheduling is custom. Keep a human approval step before uploads, scheduling, or posting.
Try it yourself with Claude Cowork
I have a completed [video/file] stored at [location] about [topic]. First, transcribe it, then suggest several YouTube title and description options, and build a thumbnail concept in Figma based on my [template/style]. Next, draft promo copy for [X, Bluesky, LinkedIn] in Markdown. Show me the transcription, metadata, thumbnail draft, and post drafts, then pause and wait for my approval before you upload the video, schedule anything, or publish the posts. After I approve, carry out only the approved actions.
