One line in. Finished reel out.
A folder you open in your AI coding agent. It researches the topic, writes two scripts, voices the one you pick, syncs every caption, builds the scenes, checks its own frames and renders the video.

Simulated preview. The real run happens on your machine.
// 02 — the pipeline
Seven stages. One stop.
Each stage writes a real file, so you can stop any time and pick it up later. Nothing is a black box.
// 01
Research
It opens real sources. A facts check rejects any claim without an opened source, and any on-screen number that is not in the research.
$ pnpm run facts → research/sources.md
// 02
Two scripts
Two different angles, each with the spoken script, chapters, what you will see in each one, the visual direction, sources and voice samples.
$ pnpm run gate → script/variant-a.md
// 03
You approve
The only stop. Pick A or B, pick a voice, or ask for changes. Nothing is voiced or built before your yes.
$ pnpm run approve → gate.md
// 04
Voice, music, captions
A natural voice at around four words a second, a music bed from your own folder, and captions synced to every word.
$ pnpm run sync → captions.words.json
// 05
Scenes
Planned on the real voice timings, one code file per scene, with the card on screen changing state on the spoken word.
$ pnpm run plan → scenes/01-hook.tsx
// 06
Self-review
At most three rounds. Frames are checked with Instagram's no-go zones drawn on, plus spot checks, preview clips and motion rhythm, then fixed.
$ pnpm run review → review/round-1/
// 07
Final
Your 1080 × 1920 video, plus a caption, hashtags and the source links, all in one folder you own.
$ pnpm run final → final/my-reel.mp4
// 03 — the gate
Your taste stays in charge.
The agent never voices or builds anything before you approve. Try it: pick a script.
// Stakes hook, countdown arc
“Your bad mornings start the night before.”
- Alarm card flips to red
- Phone glow cross-out
- Tear-off calendar runs
voice: andrew · warm
// Myth bust, reveal arc
“Sleeping longer might not fix it.”
- Alarm card gets stamped
- Chart slides in
- Dark flip on the twist
voice: brian · casual
Waiting for your yes. Nothing is voiced or built yet.
// 04 — captions
Every word lands on the voice.
Whisper hears the voice locally and times each word. Your exact caption text is aligned to those times, so the spelling is always yours.
{ "word": "Type", "start": 0.00, "end": 0.23 }
// 05 — your brand
One file. Whole new look.
Colours, font, corner radius, shadow and handle all live in src/brand.ts. Play with the same values here.
// src/brand.ts
colors: {
bg: "#E8E9E1",
accent: "#EE5D31",
},
font: "Inter",
radius: 24,// 06 — self-review
It checks its own work before you see it.
Frames get reviewed with Instagram's no-go zones drawn on in red. Flip between the draft and the fix.
Your app is slower than you think
The stat card runs under the like and share buttons, and the sticker sits in the caption area.
Rejected// 07 — what's in the box
A folder you own.
No dashboard, no login, no render credits. Open any part and change it.
// AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md
Everything your agent needs to know about the folder. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others read it, so you don't explain anything.
// 08 — pricing
$16. Once. That's the whole model.

What is Abu Reel Kit?
Abu Reel Kit is a project folder you open in an AI coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. You type one line, for example “make a reel: 3 sleep mistakes that ruin your mornings”, and the agent researches the topic, writes two scripts, makes the voice and captions, builds the scenes in Remotion, checks its own frames and renders a 1080 × 1920 video.
What do I need to run it?
At least one AI coding agent: Claude Code (recommended), Codex, Cursor or Antigravity. You also need Node.js 18 or newer, ffmpeg and Python 3.10 to 3.14. The included doctor command installs what it can and prints the exact command for the rest. It has setup paths for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Does it need API keys?
The kit itself needs none. The default voice uses free Edge neural voices, captions run locally with Whisper, and rendering runs on your own machine. Your AI coding agent is separate, so any plan or usage cost it has is yours.
Can I get a refund?
No, except if you were charged twice for the same product. Tell us within 7 days and we will refund the duplicate payment. The kit is delivered instantly as a digital download, so please read the requirements before buying. Rights you have by law are not affected.
Who will appear on my card statement?
Dodo Payments is the Merchant of Record for this sale, so your statement and receipt show Dodo Payments, usually starting with DODOPAY_. Dodo also handles the applicable sales tax or VAT.
Can I use it for client work and sell the videos?
Yes. The licence covers unlimited reels for you and your clients, and you own your videos. You cannot share, resell or redistribute the kit itself.
