Inspiration: We were inspired by how hard it can be for makers to quickly promote their Product Hunt launches and capture attention on social media. We wanted to create a tool that turns launches into shareable, viral-ready videos instantly.
What we Learned: We learned how to integrate AI APIs for content generation, automate data scraping from web pages, and optimize video formats for social media. We also gained experience in designing user-friendly workflows that encourage sharing and growth loops.
How We Built It: We built the project using Magic Hour’s AI API to generate videos from Product Hunt URLs. The workflow scrapes product names, taglines, and images, then automatically creates vertical 10–15 second videos optimized for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts, with one-click sharing.
Challenges Faced: The biggest challenges were handling inconsistent Product Hunt page formats, generating videos quickly without lag, and making the videos engaging and visually appealing in under 30 seconds. We overcame these by implementing robust scraping logic and experimenting with AI video templates.
