ScareFactory v2

ScareFactory v2: AI-Powered Horror Content Pipeline Workflow Overview This workflow automates the creation of horror-themed social media content, transforming a single long-form scary story into multiple pieces of engaging media. It starts when a story is selected in Airtable, uses multiple AI agents to refine the script and generate new content ideas, creates a high-quality voiceover, and organizes all assets for the next stage of video production. The primary goal is to create a content factory that can efficiently produce long-form audio stories, short-form video scripts, and micro-stories from a single source story. Technologies Used - n8n: The core automation platform coordinating the entire process. - Airtable: Acts as the central content management system (CMS) to store and manage stories, their statuses, and the generated content. - OpenRouter: A service used to access various Large Language Models (LLMs), including Meta's Llama 4 and OpenAI's o4-mini. - ElevenLabs: A generative AI voice synthesis platform used to create realistic, eerie voiceovers from text. - Google Drive: Used for storing the final audio assets (currently disabled in the workflow). How AI is Integrated Artificial Intelligence is the engine of this workflow, performing several distinct creative and editorial tasks: 1. Story Purification: An AI agent reads the raw story and intelligently removes non-story elements like author's notes or promotional text, ensuring only the narrative is processed. 2. Voiceover Script Enhancement: A specialized AI agent acts as a "grammar wizard," reformatting the purified story to be more effective for AI voice generation. It adds dramatic pauses (...) and other grammatical cues to enhance suspense and create a higher-quality, more natural-sounding audio performance from ElevenLabs. 3. Viral Clip Extraction: A third AI agent analyzes the complete story and identifies the most suspenseful or scary segment. It then extracts this "viral-worthy" clip, creating a ready-made script for a short-form video (like an Instagram Reel or TikTok) designed to end on a cliffhanger. 4.
