Run a nightly faceless video studio that scripts, voices and posts videos

Cybiqon's Claude Code studio made 40 developer videos in ten days on three daily cron jobs, voiced by an offline clone of the owner's voice, and now uploads to YouTube and X on its own.

What they did

The founder behind Cybiqon runs a Claude Code agent on a 4-core Ubuntu server with no GPU. Three cron jobs start it each day: a blog explainer, a product Short and a teaching video. For each one the agent picks a topic, with a sub-agent that searches Stack Overflow, GitHub issues and Ask HN for problems developers really have and must cite two links as proof. It writes the script, which then passes a linter, three fresh Claude reviewer sub-agents and a second model from another company called through OpenRouter. It voices the script with open-source cloning models (Pocket TTS for English, IndicF5 for Hindi) trained on the owner's own recordings, builds and renders the frames, and schedules uploads to YouTube and X, checking half an hour later that they went public. Teaching videos go to Telegram for the owner to review first. There are 40 pass or fail gates, eight enforced in code.

How it went

Between 8 and 17 October it made 40 videos, 65 minutes in total, including three long-forms of 6 to 7 minutes. Swapping the paid HeyGen voice clone for offline models took voice costs to zero; the HeyGen credit had once run out mid-pipeline. Each agent run costs $11 to $26 by Claude Code's own estimate, plus about $0.03 for the second-opinion review. Early Reels got 120 to 150 views and 67 percent of viewers left in three seconds, which led to a new target viewer and hook rules. Instagram and Facebook are still posted by hand, and no Hindi video has been published yet.

Worth knowing

Most gates were added the day a video failed in that way, and the owner still found a Short that passed every check taught nothing. The second model caught a script error that three Claude reviewers missed. Reddit blocked the server's data-centre IP. The studio is MIT-licensed and installs as a Claude Code plugin.

Act as a nightly video studio for [my channel and niche]. Each run, find a problem real [developers or my audience] are asking about this month and cite at least two links that prove it. Research the facts, save everything that will appear on screen to a research folder, and write a [35 to 60 second] script for [my target viewer]. Have a fresh reviewer check it for errors and for one concrete takeaway before any voice is made. Voice it with [my voice-clone tool], render it with [my render setup], and stop by sending me the video and a caption on [Telegram or my chat app] for approval before anything is posted.
