In this video, I reveal my complete blueprint for automating a YouTube Shorts channel using the power of AI and Zapier. I built two "AI agents" – a researcher and a creator – that handle everything from finding trending topics to scripting, creating AI avatar videos (using HeyGen), and even publishing directly to YouTube. No coding experience is required! I'll show you step by step how to set this up yourself and we'll see if it actually works.
