A lean setup for one person producing videos or podcasts. Notion holds the plan: ideas, drafts and a publishing calendar. Claude helps turn ideas into outlines and scripts, and gives a second opinion on titles and hooks.
Descript does the editing by transcript, which suits talking-head and interview content. ElevenLabs fills in narration, fixes small pickups and opens the door to dubbed versions. Canva covers the packaging: thumbnails, social clips and channel graphics.
