We accidentally created a creative AGI.

[Karol Zdebel @karolzdeb]

Guys this might actually be AGI.

During one of our smoke tests I asked Claude Code to create a video with Pamba & post it to TikTok using the API.

Literally all I told it was "smoke test that creating a video & posting works in production".

Look at what it posted (with audio on).

On my mom, there was zero human in the loop, including the edits.

This is actually insane.

I think you may be able to run decently performing accounts fully on auto-pilot now if the content is this good.

You can get an API key from your workspace settings on https://t.co/CFAg7ozq3b or give Claude/Codex https://t.co/k4BAktEbWG.

Replicate any tiktok video in 5 minutes with AI creators in Pamba.

[Karol Zdebel @karolzdeb]

Working on it

[Karol Zdebel @karolzdeb]

We built a free AI-native video editor inside https://t.co/CFAg7ozq3b that lets you post directly to TikTok and Instagram through our iPhone farm.

We've been using it internally to make videos for customers since June and have edited and posted thousands of videos at this point.

It has almost every video editing capability that TikTok natively has, including the popular fonts & caption styles.

We previously tried to take a fully agentic approach to creating videos and editing them but truthfully the tech still isn't good enough to get them fully ready to post, so this editor acts as the bridge in the interim.

You can open the Pamba agent chat using the round button on the bottom right which lets you dictate edits in natural language.

There's a big bright "Post" button on the top right that lets you schedule the video to get posted directly on TikTok & Instagram through our iPhone farm.

If you want to edit & post videos that haven't been generated inside Pamba you can do that too by uploading your own video files on the "Videos" tab in our Studio.

The editor is available on the free plan so you don't need to pay anything to use it (at least for now while we can still afford to do this).

Other parts like AI video generation and being able to post to social media you have to pay to use.

Enjoy!

[Karol Zdebel @karolzdeb]

Starting today you can replicate any video from TikTok and make it your own on https://t.co/CFAg7ozq3b.

This is NOT just one of those cheap AI replication tools that swaps out the person in the video and keeps everything else the same.

Here's how this works:

1) You select the videos you want to replicate and the AI avatars you want to do this with

2) You input what you want to be different about your version of the video, the duration, and whether you want us to automatically promote your product

3) We analyze the original video, scene by scene, to understand precisely what's happening

4) We take what you prompted to be different, the workspace media files you uploaded, and your business information

5) We translate all of that into a written creative concept for your new video (we do not reference the original video pixels past this stage)

6) The creative concept then goes through our video generation pipeline where we carefully produce the video scene by scene

7) Our editing agent runs over the video and polishes it

8) You get your video back ready to post to TikTok & Instagram through our iPhone farm, in minutes

We automatically incorporate demos of your product into the video, like screen recordings of your app, if that was the intent of the original video you referenced & the instructions you gave us.

I'm telling you guys nothing like this exists and you need to go try it for yourself because it's actual magic.

@Owenfitzgerald That's some sweet subtle X UGC

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

I'm not biased 😉, but my cofounder @karolzdeb is an insane engineer and loves a cheeky public fight.

Definitely follow him.

[Karol Zdebel @karolzdeb]

I built an iPhone farm

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

I never thought I'd grow up to be a farmer.

[Karol Zdebel @karolzdeb]

This is an Instagram account that https://t.co/CFAg7ozq3b got to 23k followers in one week, starting from scratch.

Generted 1.6 million views in only 10 posts.

The account was created & ran on our iPhone farm, with 95%+ of the viewers being in the US.

We even purposely labeled the account on the app as AI to prove Instagram doesn't care, contrary to what everyone will tell you here on X.

You can have an account like this created on Instagram and posting for you within 30 minutes using Pamba.

Just saying.

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

The organic videos you see in the feed are always the best source of new ideas for both organic and paid. Pamba can doomscroll for you and save the videos in your niche you missed when you were living.

[Fraser Cottrell | Ad Creative For Meta & TikTok @sourfraser]

this is such a great example of how so many video formats come from organic.

seen this on instagram reels for months and now it's working on paid.

always be consuming

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

Replicating viral videos in Pamba is as easy as two button clicks.

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

We don't use the platform API to post. All our posts go natively through the app. And we're still able to offer unlimited posts because we built a better solution.

[Karol Zdebel @karolzdeb]

This is fake news.

https://t.co/CFAg7ozq3b has unlimited posts and all of them go through the TikTok and Instagram apps.

We use real iPhones with US carrier SIM cards, located here in San Francisco.

Our users have generated 500M views on our phones.

We run hundreds of accounts and none of them have ever been banned.

You can track all of the activity happening on the phone with screenshots as evidence, down to the second.

This way you know precisely what's you're getting, including the warming, health checks, OS, etc.

So there's no such thing as "mimicking" it on Pamba, we do not take shortcuts.

You’re not going to get this with services that outsource to real people.

Think about it, how likely is the person you're outsourcing to to be doing other weird stuff on the phone, and therefore compromise your account?

This only sounds good on paper.

I'm so confident our service works that if you get shadowbanned we will replace your accounts for free, and if you get banned I will refund you.

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

We’re over 500 million views now and this still holds up.

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

42% of our TikTok videos never cracked 1,000 views.

We still got 414 million views.

We measured every one of the 6,668 AI creator videos we've posted across 110 accounts. What we found changed how we operate. 🧵

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

We're all about transparency.

[Karol Zdebel @karolzdeb]

I made it so you can now see all of your account's activity on TikTok & Instagram, down to the minute.

This includes:
- All of the warming sessions, when they ran, what was searched
- Screenshots of the videos that were watched
- Posts that occurred
- Health checks that were performed
- Anything that failed or was cancelled

We want our users to have full visibility into what happens on the phone and have confidence that they're actually getting the hardware and reliability we promised.

This is the type of thing you're never going to get when outsourcing posting content to people remotely.

I also made this available through API and MCP so your agent can see it too.

All on https://t.co/CFAg7ozq3b

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

100% true. Curation is what separates the best from the rest.

I did 500M views across tiktok and instagram and shared some of the lessons here.

https://t.co/UCl6J87WbJ

[isaac @theisaacmed]

You can make great content and be anti slop with ai.

It just requires curation, and a human eye. Especially when setting up the workflows.

My agency services brands and tech, getting them organic distribution on YouTube, IG, etc.

We also work with personal brands for LinkedIn and X.

All of our engagements use ai in the background. We have human writers in loop, human editors, human project managers.

But all projects use ai + humans to output 10x more.

This x profile was set up by me with grok + Astra on routines. Astra is loaded with 5 years of context, internal strategy reviews, and frameworks. We have gotten 30b views online in the last 5 years.

That’s why it’s able to provide semi valuable content on auto pilot.

Within a few days large accounts are now engaging with its posts.

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

After generating 500M organic views on tt/ig, these are my controversial opinions.

1. Warming is a myth. I've had fresh accounts get a million views on the first post and accounts that 'warmed' for two weeks get nothing.

2. You're not shadowbanned, your content just sucks.

3. Copying > originality. The number of people who can come up with truly original viral content is way smaller than you think.

4. AI UGC converts. 24 cent CPM and $15 CAC on a $20 month subscription, speaks for itself.

5. Platforms reward unintuitive things. When you find one, it feels like a hack, but they all lead back to, 'Can you keep the viewer on the platform?'

[Chad @ChadAppDev]

Brand new account 0 warmup

Warming up TikTok accounts is a psyop

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

@0xSkywalker @karolzdeb $100 for tiktok or instagram. $150 for both a tiktok and instagram account.

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

@riskmaxxer @karolzdeb $100/month is unlimited posting. Credits are for video generation.

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

@ugnizas @karolzdeb Instagram as well

[Eric Owusu Sekyere @thechidwi]

Reaching a US audience is now as easy as asking claude.

[Karol Zdebel @karolzdeb]

I created an MCP server so that your agents can finally rent out iPhones for social media growth.

Here are 7 things that are possible now from Claude/Codex/GrokBot:

1) Quickly create TikTok & Instagram accounts and begin warming them (we use real emails & phone numbers for auth)

2) Make posts to your accounts in bulk

3) Tell your GrokBot to turn into Mr Beast, creating video content for you daily, posting it, and analyzing the results the next day, all on its own

4) Capture ideas from the FYP on TikTok to understand what the algorithm is pushing in your niche

5) Create highly-realistic AI influencers and give them all social media accounts

6) Replicate viral TikTok formats with your AI influencer army

7) Track what's working using analytics

None of this uses the official TikTok or Instagram APIs; all of it runs on our iPhones. We don't outsource any of this work, including account, email, and phone number creation.
