why another ai video generation tool wonโt fix your production workflows ๐ค
new ai video tools promise faster content creation and fewer revisions. sounds great, right? but hereโs what many teams miss:
ai canโt fix workflow problems rooted deeper than video editing speed.
โ here is the catch: most production teams stitch together tools meant for software development: task trackers, repositories, linear sprints - none designed for complex, circular video production cycles.
your long revision cycles, asynchronous workflows, and disorganized contributors wonโt magically go away just by adding ai.
ai is a just a tool.
end-to-end production management platforms built for creators and content teams from the ground up ARE the real game changers.

did you integrate any ai tools into your team's workflows?
helping or complicating? ๐
WHAT A WEEK ๐ฎโ๐จ
WiR (week in review) - let's dive in -->
@kreatli
/17.11 - 23.11/
/moved to Da nang, Vietnam. yes. it's finally happened.
/immediately got introduced to an amazing indie builders community here - special thanks to:
@AntonioEscudero - for welcoming me here
@afonsocrg - for organising great co-working sessions and showing up DAILY!
@transitive_bs for organising a networking event around @HackerResidency
and many more ๐ซก
/had our first inbound demo call - went great. we had to postpone the testing phase since they still have 8 more months to go with their current provider ๐
best thing was tho that we had almost everything they needed ready on the platform - i take it as a market signal that we're getting ready to roll!
/launched our standalone blog page: https://t.co/UZgZPcCz6K
and as always
time
to
lock
in.
day #105 of building @kreatli
/our footer is growing with new articles daily! curious to see the traffic once google ranks these pages.
/booked a call with a 2.5M youtube channel - will report how it went.
/next week another video agency is finally piloting our product - so pumped!
day #101 of building @kreatli
/preparing pages on @Trustpilot and G2 to make sure reviews land there. great for SEO too. feel free to leave a review :)
/next week is full on customer acquisition again.
/testing out a new format on tiktok - copying popular show "Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis" and adapting the format to pop culture.
thoughts?
day #97 building @kreatli
/just submitted our last deliverable for today's deadline. at this point i just rely on fate and hope we get through.
i truly believe we deserve it.
/now back to CREATING landing pages and getting some organic traffic.
how else do i wanna prove it's worth our while other than getting paying customers ๐๐๐
ON IT ๐ซก
what is happening with the algo yo. on a quest to find my reach again ๐
25.10 @kreatli update #86.
/something's certainly happening with the algorithm - trying to navigate through it.
for some reason my posting format (which has been performing relatively good) is now on a slump.
obviously "0->1000 followers in 2 days" format is still working great. ๐
/we finished a brainstorming session with my co-founder. how did it go? f*ck yes!
can't stress enough how valuable it is to meet in-person.
24.10 @kreatli update #85.
/arrived in Wroclaw. met up with some old friends and my co-founder. feels great.
/been preparing TAM/SAM/SOM analysis for an accelerator we're a part of. interesting exercise ESPECIALLY if you fundraising.
if you're bootstrapping - no need for that.
if you're talking to investors - it's a must-have. they are gonna do the analysis anyway if they think you are worth investing.
the mere fact that you we've done such an extensive prep shows them you are serious about it.
do not underestimate it!
15.10 @kreatli update #76.
/had a convo with another VC from eastern europe. even though we are not actively looking to fundraise, creating your investor network is still crucial.
just like with SEO - if you suddenly need money or organic traffic, you can't just magically make it happen - you should've started months ago.
/speaking of SEO - been registering us in multiple saas/software directories to get the backlinks and up our ranking - sharing in the comments.
/important demo call with a potential buyer tomorrow - fingers crossed ๐ค๐ค๐ค
14.10 @kreatli update #75
/was researching the production market a lot today. we are thinking about expanding our value proposition into pre production.
or focusing on delivering more value in our narrow post production niche. thinking...
/almost 4 blog posts are written! hope we are not gonna blow up from all that google traffic :)
/tomorrow an important call with another VC fund. will report how it went.
as always: stay tuned and follow along!
calls calls calls... - let's get to it
