Autopilot Content Automation

Q: What is Autopilot content automation?

Autopilot is a Pro feature that fully automates your short-form content pipeline. Enter a topic, connect your social accounts, set publish times, and Shortzly continuously finds YouTube videos, creates clips, and publishes them on your schedule.

Q: How does Autopilot find videos?

Autopilot uses the YouTube Data API to search for videos matching your topic from the last 7 days. An AI model then ranks candidates by engagement metrics, title quality, and viral clip potential. The top video is selected for processing.

Q: Can I set different publish times per platform?

Yes. You can set unique publish schedules for each connected social account. For example, TikTok at 9 AM and 6 PM, YouTube Shorts at 1 PM, and Instagram Reels at 8 PM.

Q: Does Autopilot use my monthly clip quota?

Yes. Autopilot clips count toward your monthly clip limit (100 on Pro). You will receive notifications at 80% usage and Autopilot automatically pauses when the limit is reached.

Q: What happens if Autopilot cannot find good videos?

If no videos match your topic or pass the minimum virality score, Autopilot skips that cycle and tries again later. After 5 consecutive failures, it auto-pauses and notifies you to adjust your topic.

Q: Which plans include Autopilot?

Autopilot is exclusively available on the Pro plan ($49/month). Free and Starter plans do not include this feature.

Enter a topic like "AI news" or "cooking tips" and let Shortzly handle the rest. AI finds the best YouTube videos, creates viral clips with captions and face tracking, and publishes to all your social accounts on a schedule you set. Wake up to fresh content every day.
