ScriptGenie: ai-powered scriptwriting for short videos

Save time and effort by generating engaging scripts for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and beyond.

Introduction

It's possible to use AI for good-quality short-form content creation only when it is used well.

You need to understand your process for content creation to get great results leveraging AI. Sometimes it takes some research, ideation, writing, recording, editing, and so on. But most of the time the hard part is getting clear what's in your content piece. The script.

Script Genie allows you to save part of that time on content creation by writing your script draft.

Features

• You can put a simple and straight 'create a script about {topic}' and it will start creating, but it could be better.
• You can provide a topic with the key message you want to share in your content piece.
• You can come up with information (like a summary of a topic) and place it for the assistant to create your script.
• You can set your target audience.
• You can set the style and tone for your script
• You can set additional references (examples) to set a bias for your script.
• If you are trying to explain something on video, you can provide key concepts to be considered in the script.
• You can add details about the call-to-action (CTA) for your script.
• You can set the desired length for your script: words extension or duration.
• You can set analogies to be used in your script.
• And you can ask for feedback on your script.

You will find a fully detailed guide on how to use the app in the Hints component or on the main page.

How to use it locally

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Anewryzm/script-genie.git

2. Install the dependencies:

npm install

3. Define your environment variables in the .env.local file:

You will need to add this file at the root of the folder and set the following variables:

GROQ_BASE_URL=https://api.groq.com/openai/v1
GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key

4. Start the server and run the app:

 npm run dev

5. Tracking metrics (optional):

For tracking metrics on this assistant you can use the KeywordsAI endpoint. You will be going to need to create an account first, then use this configuration on your .env.local file:

 GROQ_BASE_URL=https://api.keywordsai.co/api/
 GROQ_API_KEY=your_keywordsai_api_key

Then you will need to point to the right model name in src/app/actions.tsx. It may look like this:

...

 const groq = createOpenAI({
   apiKey: process.env.GROQ_API_KEY,
   baseURL: process.env.GROQ_BASE_URL,
 });
 // Change the name from 'llama3-70b-8192' to 'groq/llama3-70b-8192'
 const model = groq('groq/llama3-70b-8192')

 export async function generateScript(query: string) {

...

Closer Look at the Environment Variables

• GROQ_API_KEY: Your Groq API key. You can get this by signing up for an account on the Groq platform and creating a new API key.
