What you can do with it

  • Schedule automatic Twitter posts using the built-in scheduler
  • Generate and upload YouTube Shorts on a regular schedule
  • Find local businesses and send them cold outreach emails

Make money with it

Run faceless YouTube Shorts or Twitter accounts that promote Amazon affiliate links, or offer local-business outreach as a lead-generation service.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • Run an automated YouTube Shorts channel to build an audience and promote products without a video editor
  • Find nearby local businesses and send them outreach emails to win freelance or service clients

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use. Anything you distribute that includes it must be open-sourced under the same licence. Running it as an online service also counts, so a hosted version must offer its source.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

Clone the repository, copy config.example.json to config.json, create a Python 3.12 virtual environment, run pip install -r requirements.txt, then start it with python src/main.py (Go is also needed for email outreach).

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • AGPL-3.0 licence has obligations if you offer it as a network service
  • Automated posting and scraping may breach Twitter, YouTube and Amazon terms of service
  • Cold email outreach can break spam and data protection rules such as UK GDPR and PECR
  • Likely needs configuration of external services and API keys
  • Needs Python 3.12 specifically, plus Go for email outreach
  • Author describes it as for educational purposes only, with no warranty
  • Automated income claims are unlikely to deliver reliable earnings
