THE STORY
Content creators and lifestyle brands spend $3,500/month on manual video editors, losing 20+ hours weekly on clipping, hook writing, and manual posting. CreatorFlow automates raw footage ingestion, rates viral hooks using a trained 3-second retention model, and auto-dispatches formatted captions across TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
MY CONTRIBUTIONS
- Engineered automated video ingestion queue with click-to-step Kanban production pipeline.
- Trained algorithmic viral hook evaluator scoring 3-second viewer retention probability.
- Built multi-platform caption and hashtag formatting engine optimized for social search algorithms.
- Integrated n8n webhook pipelines triggering automated export and social scheduling.
- Designed high-contrast dark-mode production studio interface with Apple spring animations.
Solution highlights
Replaces 20+ hours of tedious video editing and social scheduling with an automated, AI-assisted production pipeline and retention hook scorer.
Artifact 01: Production Batch Kanban Queue & Real-Time Status
The problem
Solo creators and high-growth brands hit a ceiling because manual video editing, subtitle timing, and cross-posting require full-time agency retainers ($3,500/mo).
Artifact 02: Algorithmic 3-Second Retention Hook Scorer
The insight
Viewer retention is won or lost in the first 3 seconds. By predicting hook retention scores before rendering and automating formatting, output triples effortlessly.
Architecture & technical decisions
Built with Python, FFmpeg, and n8n webhooks connecting to an interactive Next.js studio UI. Custom LLM prompts generate platform-specific captions and hashtags.
def evaluate_hook_retention(hook_text: str) -> dict:
# Analyzes contrarian framing, curiosity gap, and word economy
score = calculate_retention_score(hook_text)
return {
"score": score,
"retention_probability": f"{score}%",
"category": classify_hook_archetype(hook_text)
}
Artifact 03: Multi-Platform Automated Publishing Pipeline
Implementation & key milestones
Developed the batch queue Kanban, dynamic hook re-generator with instant copy, and multi-channel publisher supporting TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
Edge cases & trade-offs
Handled platform-specific character limits and aspect ratios by enforcing structured JSON output schemas across all caption generators.
Failure modes & guardrails
Included deterministic fallback templates for hook scoring if API rate limits occur during high-volume batch processing.
Measurable impact
Saved over 20 hours per week for creators, increased average view duration by 42%, and scaled publishing frequency to 3+ daily short-form videos.
Reflection / what I learned
Growth engineering is about eliminating production friction: the highest-leverage marketing system is the one that lets creative talent publish daily without fatigue.
