An AI creative director for local businesses

Your business has something worth showing. ShortPost tells you what to film.

Tell ShortPost what you want to promote. It develops the concept, gives you the script and shot list, guides you through filming on your phone, and helps turn the footage into a finished Reel, TikTok, or Short.

No editing experience needed. Just your phone.

The real problem

You don’t need another video editor.

You already have a phone, and maybe Instagram or TikTok. The hard part is knowing what to make, and making it consistently.

What should I post?

Ideas built around what your business actually wants to sell.

What should I say?

The hook, the talking points, and a script if you want one.

What should I film?

Simple, shot-by-shot direction. Point your phone, follow the list.

What happens to all the footage?

Upload it. ShortPost finds the useful moments and builds the short.

How it works

Your phone is the camera. ShortPost is the director.

No filmmaking terms. No timelines. You start with what you want to sell.

    In plain words, the way you’d tell a friend.

    “Our new Sunday brunch.”

    Follow the storyboard

    Each shot tells you what to film and what to say. Nothing more to figure out.

  4. 04

    Upload what you filmed

    Record naturally. If the video needs two seconds, upload twenty. ShortPost finds the best moments.

  5. 05

    Get your short

    Best footage, captions, music, timing, and a call to action, ready for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts.

See the direction

It literally tells you what footage to get.

The shot list changes with your business. Pick one and see what ShortPost would ask you to film.

Don’t worry about clip lengths. Film each shot for as long as feels natural. ShortPost works out what the final video needs.

Built for your business

Not generic templates. Direction for your kind of business.

Templates tell you where to put a clip. ShortPost tells you what clip to create.

Editing apps are excellent tools for creators. ShortPost is built for business owners.

FAQ

Questions business owners ask

Do I need video-editing experience?

No. ShortPost is built around telling you what to capture, not expecting you to know how to edit.

What do I need?

A phone and something about your business worth showing.

Do I have to be on camera?

Not for every idea. ShortPost can suggest formats based on what you’re comfortable with, including videos where your work, food, or space is the star.

How much footage do I need?

ShortPost tells you what to capture. You don’t need to know the final clip lengths.

What if I record too much?

That’s expected. ShortPost is designed to find the useful moments in longer raw clips.

Is this just another template app?

No. Templates tell you where clips go. ShortPost helps decide what the video should be about and what footage you need to make it.

Which platforms is it for?

Vertical short-form video: Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

Can someone film it for me?

On-location filming may be available in selected areas during the early stage. Mention it in the form and we’ll let you know.
