Executive Summary

Many professional creators and SMB marketing teams struggle to turn a written script into a publish-ready YouTube video because editing, voiceovers, captioning, thumbnail/title optimization, and platform metadata often create a multi-hour bottleneck that limits output and revenue. This pain affects an estimated 3 million potential users who collectively spend about $4.5B annually on video tooling and services. Build a cloud service that ingests a script and, using generative voice, automated captioning, semantic scene assembly, and template-driven thumbnails and SEO, produces a YouTube-ready video and metadata and schedules publishing in about 30 minutes. Include human-in-the-loop editing, vertical templates, and direct YouTube integration so creators can trade a small drop in manual control for a large gain in throughput. The market is attractive now because creator commercialization, rapid AI progress, and platform optimization pressure are converging; roughly $4.5B TAM with ~3M users spending ~$1.5K ACV indicates willingness to pay for throughput-improving tools. Capturing 1–5% of that base (30k–150k customers) at $1.5K ACV translates to roughly $45M–$225M ARR potential. To win in a competitive landscape, differentiate on end-to-end workflow reliability (true script-to-publish in 30 minutes), vertical-specific quality presets, measurable distribution lift (A/B-tested titles/thumbnails), and a strong human-in-the-loop UX to mitigate AI artifacts and platform trust issues — but be upfront that achieving consistent, publish-quality output is the core technical and go-to-market challenge.
