Your personal video assistant

ViralMint helps you scout what's trending, clip long videos and generate finished shorts, while its assistant tells you what to make next. The web app makes AI shorts, scripted videos, music videos, images and voice; the free, open-source desktop app adds scouting, downloading and clipping.

It watches your niche, so you don't have to.

Each day it reads what's new on the YouTube and TikTok creators you follow and sends a short note on the videos worth your time. Reply by email or Telegram to ask what to make next, find videos, summarize a link or plan a short as a free draft you finish on the web. How the assistant works

Fast enough on the laptop you already own

The heavy work — downloading, Whisper transcription, captioning and the final FFmpeg render — runs on your own machine, not on a rented GPU. So the honest question is how long that actually takes. These are our own measurements on a mid-range laptop (8 GB RAM, CPU only — no GPU required), not projections:

  • ~45s to transcribe 10 minutes of audio faster-whisper, int8 quantisation, running on your CPU
  • 2-5 min to assemble a 60-second short FFmpeg stitch, voice mix, music bed and burned-in captions
  • <3s to scout 3 platforms at once parallel async workers, not sequential requests
  • <5ms overhead per MCP tool call loopback HTTP to the local server — no cloud round-trip

No GPU is required and nothing is queued behind other users — the only steps that leave your computer are the AI ones you choose to pay for. Figures are self-reported on the hardware above and will vary with your CPU, the source file and how much else is running.

No subscription. Pay only for what you generate.

Frequently asked questions

What is a personal video assistant?

A personal video assistant is software that follows the creators you watch, learns your taste and tells you what to make next, then helps you write and make it. ViralMint's assistant sends a short daily note by email or Telegram and answers replies: find videos, summarize a link, say what's working, or plan a short as a free draft. You open the draft on the web, see the shots and the price, and press Render when you're ready. Nothing is posted for you: you download the finished video and upload it yourself.

Can the assistant make a video from a message?

Not by itself yet. From email or Telegram it plans a short as a free draft and you press Render on the web. Turning that message into a finished, paid render without opening the draft isn't built. If you connect your own Telegram bot in the desktop app, it can also download a link or run tools on a video in your Library while the app is open.

Does ViralMint work on a phone?

ViralMint is a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux, because downloading, Whisper transcription and clipping run on your own computer. Without a computer, the web app at viralmint.net/app makes videos in the browser on the same account: AI Video, Video Studio with cloud render, Music to Video, AI Image, AI Thumbnail, voice and music. With the desktop app running, you can also drive it by message from Telegram or Slack.

Is ViralMint free?

The app is free to download and open source under AGPL-3.0. Using it spends a prepaid balance per action: jobs that run on your own machine, such as a download, a transcription or a caption burn, bill a flat 1¢ each, and cloud AI generation is priced per action in the table above. The open-source build on GitHub runs on your own API keys instead.

How do I install it?

Pick the installer for your system in the download section below, open it, and sign in with your email. There are no API keys to paste: AI features run through your ViralMint account.

What does a finished video cost?

Every action is priced up front in the table above, and the app shows the price before it spends anything. A stock-footage Video Studio short is the cheapest route to a finished video; AI video clips cost more and bill per second by model.

Do I need a GPU or API keys?

No. Transcription and rendering run on an ordinary CPU, and the large AI models run in the cloud through your account, so there are no provider keys to manage.
