Every other tool clips.
We run your whole channel.
Short Shorts AI is the only tool that completes the full loop — detecting your uploads, clipping the best moments, writing production-quality titles and chapters with Gemini, and publishing directly to YouTube + X. What a tier 1 content agency charges $5k–$20k a month to do. Completely hands-free. Zero manual steps.
No subscription. Pay only when a Short publishes.
What makes a full autoclipper?
Most tools handle step 2. Only Short Shorts handles all four — which is the only way to make it truly hands-free.
Detects your uploads automatically
Watches your YouTube playlist 24/7 via webhook. The moment you publish a new video, the pipeline starts — no manual trigger, no log-in required.
Clips the best moments with AI
Scores every segment for urgency, shock value, question hooks, and story arcs. Picks the top 3–8 clips that will perform on Shorts.
Schedules at peak times
Spreads clips across prime-time upload windows for your timezone and market. News-type clips go first; evergreen content fills later slots.
Publishes to YouTube Shorts + X
Uploads directly via OAuth — title, thumbnail, hashtags, everything. No Buffer, no third-party scheduler, no clicking Publish yourself.
We also publish the full video
No other autoclipper lets you publish the full-length episode to YouTube from the same dashboard. Upload once — we handle transcription, AI title, description, chapters, thumbnail, and scheduling. The Shorts generate automatically from the same upload.
AI title, description & chapters
Whisper transcribes the audio; Gemini writes an SEO-optimised title, full description, and timestamped chapters — automatically. No copy-pasting, no manual timecodes.
Scheduled premiere
Set a premiere date and time from the upload screen. Short Shorts holds the video as a scheduled premiere on YouTube — your audience gets notified, you do nothing.
Shorts auto-generate from the same upload
Turn on Hub Shorts and the clips pipeline triggers automatically when the full episode publishes. One upload → full video live → Shorts queued.
Native YouTube + X publish
Full video uploads via the YouTube Data API directly. Optional X post with custom text at publish time. No third-party tools in the chain.
Everything after "Upload video file" is automated.
Production-house quality. Without the production house.
Every title, description, and chapter is written by Gemini — the same AI behind products used by the world's largest media organisations. The copy is optimised for YouTube's discovery algorithm, consistent every time, and ready the moment your video finishes processing. No brief. No revision rounds. No invoice.
Why Gemini-written copy outperforms a human brief
Gemini processes your full transcript — every word, every moment — and writes titles engineered for YouTube's discovery algorithm, not just "something catchy." It understands context, urgency, and hook structure at a level that takes a human writer hours of research per video. Short Shorts does it in seconds, for every clip, every time you upload.
The category we created
At launch, no other tool completes the full publish loop automatically — for Shorts or full episodes. We checked.
Competitive landscape as of May 2026. We update this table when we learn of changes.
From "I just uploaded" to "Shorts are live" — zero clicks
Here's exactly what happens the moment you publish a new video to YouTube.
Webhook fires the instant you publish
YouTube sends us a notification via PubSubHubbub within seconds of your video going live. No polling, no delay. You don't need to do anything.
AI watches the whole video
Our pipeline downloads the transcript, scores every 30-second segment for virality signals — urgency, shock, question hooks, story arcs — and selects the top clips.
Clips are generated and titled
Each clip gets an AI-generated title optimised for Shorts discovery, a mood-matched thumbnail, and the right hashtags. No templates, no manual editing.
Scheduled at prime-time windows
Clips are spread across your configured peak times (morning, afternoon, evening) for your market. News-type clips get the earliest slots.
Published via native OAuth — to YouTube Shorts and X
No Buffer, no Zapier, no third-party scheduler. We call the YouTube Data API and X API directly with your OAuth credentials. Credits are deducted only on successful publish.
Why the full loop matters
The bottleneck is publishing, not clipping
Most creators stop at the clip stage. They have folders of AI-generated clips they never publish because the next step — scheduling, uploading, titling — kills the momentum.
Consistency beats quality
YouTube and X reward accounts that post frequently and consistently. The only way to do that at scale without burning out is full automation — not a tool you have to manually operate.
One upload, two content streams — no agency retainer
A tier 1 content agency charges thousands a month to do what Short Shorts does for cents per Short. No kickoff calls, no creative briefs, no revision rounds, no bill shock. Upload once — full video live, Shorts queued, copy written.
