🧠 Why We Built It
We saw short-form “brainrot” content explode on TikTok and YouTube Shorts—chaotic voiceovers, Minecraft parkour, Subway Surfers clips, and AI-written rants about everything and nothing. But behind every 30-second viral clip is hours of scripting, voicing, editing, and formatting. That’s where YapYapBot comes in. We built it to automate the entire content pipeline, helping creators pump out viral videos in minutes instead of hours—without compromising quality or creativity.
🎬 What YapYapBot Does
YapYapBot generates complete short-form videos with:
- 🎤 AI Scripts using Perplexity AI, tailored for 30s engagement with Gen-Z tone, viral hooks, and emotional punchlines
- 🗣️ Natural Voiceovers using ElevenLabs for studio-quality narration in multiple voices
- 🎮 Auto-Edited Gameplay Backgrounds from trending titles like Minecraft, Subway Surfers, and GTA
- ✨ Dynamic Captions animated in real time using HTML5 Canvas
- 📲 Export-Ready Content with optimized hashtags, titles, and descriptions
All you do is choose a vibe—we handle the rest.
⚡ How Bolt.new Supercharged Our Build
We built YapYapBot’s entire frontend experience on Bolt.new, which let us skip boilerplate and focus on the fun stuff:
- Rapid UI scaffolding with built-in Tailwind + Vite + React setup
- Instant auth and settings state with Bolt's pre-wired stores
- Lightning-fast prototyping thanks to zero-config routing and build
- Smooth PWA deployment for mobile-first usage
In short: Bolt.new let us ship in days what would’ve taken weeks. It gave us structure without limiting flexibility—and let our creativity lead.
