The starting point

A creator with the expertise, and no time to make the volume.

etz.riz publishes about AI tooling, careers and building with Claude. Short-form rewards frequency, and a founder doing the actual work can't also write hooks and cut video every week. AI content also collapses into the same few formats fast, so without variety the account looks like one Reel on a loop.

Constraint 01

Volume is the mechanic

Short-form needs consistent output; one Reel a month does nothing.

Constraint 02

The niche repeats itself

AI content converges fast, so formats and angles must vary.

Constraint 03

Founder time is the bottleneck

The creator should only have to film.

The objective

Take everything but filming off the creator's plate, with no two weeks looking the same.

The approach

Four rules that make the output repeatable.

01

One claim per Reel

“You can build a $20K/month app with zero coding” is a claim; “AI app builders” is a topic. Every video makes a claim.

02

The first frame does the work

The hook is on-screen text, legible before a word is spoken.

03

Promise, proof, path

The caption stack is the claim, a line of credibility, and how many steps follow.

04

Rotate the format, not just the topic

Talking head, POV skit, b-roll voiceover and designed carousel all rotate.

Selected work

The grid, in rotation.

Talking head, skit, b-roll and carousel: same rules, different looks.

Anatomy

The caption stack is the whole script.

Reel frame showing the three-line caption stack
  1. 1

    The claim

    Heaviest weight, top of the stack, often framed as breaking news.

  2. 2

    The proof line

    One line on why it holds: a result, timeframe or tool.

  3. 3

    The path

    A count of the steps that follow.

  4. 4

    Contrast against footage

    Caption colour picked per Reel to stay legible over the footage.

  5. 5

    Safe zone discipline

    Text kept clear of Instagram's interface overlays.

BREAKING: You can reverse engineer your dream life using Claude.

The claim: specific and provable.

The science of going viral. One Claude skill breaks it all down for you.

The proof: names the mechanism.

Here’s exactly how, in 3 steps

The path: a counted promise.

Range

Four formats doing four different jobs.

Talking-head Reel example
Format 01 · Talking head

Direct value delivery

Camera-facing explanation with the hook on screen. The workhorse for anything instructional.

POV skit Reel example
Format 02 · POV skit

Relatability, no teaching

Short bits about client work and corporate life, made to be shared, with no lesson.

B-roll voiceover Reel example
Format 03 · B-roll voiceover

Mood over instruction

Atmospheric footage with a short caption and voiceover, for reflective or opinionated ideas.

Designed carousel cover example
Format 04 · Designed carousel

Depth and saves

Illustrated covers with a serif headline for step-by-step breakdowns that get saved.

How it runs

Idea to export, without the creator project-managing it.

  1. Step 01

    Idea set

    Claims, hooks and formats set.

  2. Step 02

    Script + shot list

    A spoken script and what to film.

  3. Step 03

    Creator films

    The only step that needs the creator.

  4. Step 04

    Edit + captions

    Paced cut, captions, b-roll and overlays.

  5. Step 05

    Deliver

    Export, caption and hashtags, ready to post.
