# ShortFast

> ShortFast writes the script, generates faceless or AI UGC video with voiceover and captions, then auto-posts daily to TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts.

ShortFast is an AI video automation platform for short-form video. It writes the script and hook, generates a faceless video in one of 27 visual styles (licensed documentary stock footage, AI video, or AI images drawn in a fixed art style such as stick figures, cartoon explainer, comic book, anime, whiteboard, 3D animation, claymation, classical painting or Greek statues), or a UGC-style video with AI actors, adds a voiceover and burned-in captions, then publishes the finished video to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts on a daily schedule.

It is built for people who need a video a day and do not have long-form footage to cut from: faceless channel operators, agencies running many client accounts, and businesses using short video for leads. Clipping tools such as OpusClip start from a recording you already have; ShortFast starts from a topic.
