Autopilot
A Reddit story channel that runs itself.
Autopilot is an AI agent inside StoryTok. You choose the subreddits, the schedule and the look. Every cycle it finds the best new post, rewrites it into an original script, and renders a narrated, captioned video into your library. It spends the credits you already have and stops the moment they run out.
One cycle, this morning
How a series works
- 1
Pick the subreddits
Choose up to five story subreddits, such as r/AmItheAsshole, r/tifu or r/relationship_advice. Autopilot only ever draws from the ones you pick.
- 2
Set the schedule and the look
Every 12 hours, daily, every two days or weekly. Choose a voice, a pool of gameplay backgrounds (it never repeats the previous video's footage), and a caption style. That look applies to every video in the series.
- 3
It sources the story
On each cycle the agent reads the day's top posts in your subreddits and picks the strongest one it has not used before. Every post is used once per series.
- 4
It writes an original script
The post is rewritten into a 250 to 550 word first-person narration in original words, never copied verbatim. The intro card uses the real post's title and stats.
- 5
It renders into your library
A normal StoryTok render: narration, word-timed captions, gameplay, a 1080 by 1920 MP4. You get it in My videos, ready to download and post.
What it is, in one table
| Sources | Up to five subreddits per series, top posts of the day |
|---|---|
| Cadence | Every 12 hours, daily, every 2 days, or weekly |
| Script | Original 250 to 550 word rewrite, first person, never verbatim |
| Intro card | Built from the real post's title, author and vote count |
| Look | Your voice, a background pool that never repeats consecutively, your caption preset |
| Output | 1080 by 1920 MP4 in your library, no watermark on paid credits |
| Cost | 1 credit per finished minute, about 2 to 3 credits per video |
| When credits run out | Pauses and emails you; resumes when you add credits |
| Posting | You download and post; StoryTok does not connect to social accounts |
What it costs
Autopilot has no plan of its own. Each video costs one credit per finished minute, the same as a video you make by hand. A daily one-minute story is roughly 30 credits a month, which is the $10 Starter pack. Post every day for two months on the $50 pack, or pause the series and pay nothing until you resume. Subscription tools that do this job charge $19 to $69 a month whether or not you post.
What it does not do
- It does not post to TikTok, YouTube or Instagram. You download the MP4 and post it yourself.
- It only makes Reddit-style story videos. Texting stories, captions and clipping are manual formats.
- It does not read a post out loud verbatim. Every script is an original rewrite.
Questions
What does Autopilot cost?
The same as any other video: one credit per minute of finished video, on the credits you already have. A daily one-minute video is about 30 credits a month, which is the $10 pack. There is no extra plan for Autopilot.
Does it post to TikTok or YouTube for me?
No. Autopilot renders the video into your StoryTok library and you download and post it. Tools that auto-post exist (AutoShorts, Faceless.so); StoryTok chose not to touch your social accounts.
What happens when I run out of credits?
The series pauses itself and emails you. Nothing renders, nothing is charged, and the series resumes from where it left off when you add credits or press Resume.
Can it repeat a story or copy a post word for word?
It never reuses a post within a series, and every script is rewritten in original words before narration. Reading a post verbatim is the fastest way to get a channel flagged for unoriginal content, so Autopilot does not do it.
Can I run more than one series?
Yes. Each series has its own subreddits, schedule and look, so one account can run a relationship channel and a horror channel side by side. They all spend from the same credit balance.
What if a render fails?
Its credits are refunded automatically. If a series fails three times in a row it pauses and emails you rather than burning credits on a broken input.
