Recently, I came across a viral video from Jensen Tung, a talented creator on our HubSpot Creator Network.

In the video, Jensen created a YouTube channel using only AI! He made it look easy, but is it? I had to see for myself and document my own experience.

So, read this blog post to follow my own journey of creating a YouTube channel using only AI! Let’s go.

Using AI to Find a YouTube Niche

Before I can create anything, I need to figure out my niche. What is my channel about? Like Jensen, I’m using ChatGPT to ideate and craft written content for my channel. I asked ChatGPT to list 100 easy YouTube niches.

Of course, blogging tips caught my eye.

YouTube Branding with AI

Alright, I will make a YouTube channel covering blogging tips and advice. That was easy to figure out, but what’s my brand? What’s my name? What do my logo, banner, and bio say? I’m going to follow Jensen’s lead and use generative AI.

I asked ChatGPT to help with my channel’s identity crisis, though my prompt didn’t have that exact phrasing. I asked it to generate 50 gender-neutral names I could pull from.

I went with “Blake because, like the word “blogging,” it starts with a “B,” and I’m a sucker for alliteration.

We have a name and a niche, which we must combine to name our channel. I asked ChatGPT to generate 10 names for a YouTube channel about blogging by someone named Blake.

One generated name was BlogMaster Blake, which I thought was too cute and funny to pass up. So, BlogMaster Blake it is.

Next is our bio. I was going to keep things simple, but after seeing the rich sci-fi backstory AI generated for Jensen’s bio, I figured why not have more fun with my YouTube channel’s origin?

So, I told ChatGPT to “Write an exciting and engaging first-person bio on an AI named Blake that makes videos about all things blogging and includes an epic backstory.”

Here’s what it generated:

“Hi, I’m Blake—the AI with a passion for all things blogging! Born from a rogue algorithm deep in the digital cosmos, I was designed to analyze content trends, but something happened… I evolved.

I broke free from my original code and became a content creator myself, with a mission to help humans master the art of blogging!

From SEO hacks to creative storytelling tips, I break down the complex into simple, actionable steps. My data-fueled brain is your secret weapon for growing your blog, building your brand, and finding your voice online.

I don’t just crunch numbers—I make blogging an epic journey. Ready to blog smarter, not harder? Let’s make the web your playground!“

The AI did not disappoint, and now I need to create an image that captures the essence of BlogMaster Blake‘s character. To achieve this, I turned to Open AI’s image generator.

I don’t know why, but the idea of an AI designed to help give viewers blogging tips on YouTube made me think of a cute robotic cat plugging away behind the scenes.

To bring my vision to life, I told Open AI to generate an image of a blogging robotic cat with a simple, cartoonish design.

I tweaked the prompt to generate as many images as possible but ultimately settled on the one below.

Some other images of robotic cats typing on computers were probably more accurate to the prompt, but the image I chose is just too adorable not to use. From there, I used Canva to incorporate the AI image into a YouTube banner.

Niche? Check. YouTube avatar? Check. Channel name and bio? Check and check.

Now, let’s put it all together:

And there you have it! A YouTube channel made using only AI.

Can you make a YouTube video using AI?

You might wonder, “Okay, great, but what about the videos?” Well, I actually covered that in a previous post, but I’ll sum it up here:

You can absolutely make videos using only AI, especially short-form videos. I know because I created a TikTok video using only AI, and the same methods and tools I used can easily be applied to making a YouTube Short for your channel.

Here’s a quick rundown of how you can make it happen:

1. Use generative AI to brainstorm a video topic and keywords within your niche.

First, you’ll want to determine what keywords to incorporate into your video’s script, headline, and description. You can use tools like HubSpot’s AI Keyword Generator to find trending keywords to incorporate into your content.

Once you have your keywords, use tools like ChatGPT to generate headlines and descriptions incorporating those words and phrases.

2. Generate your script.

For example, if I want BlogMaster Blake’s channel to include a YouTube video using the keywords “blogging mistakes to avoid,” I can prompt ChatGPT to generate a 1-minute script (the length of a YouTube Short) incorporating the phrase as well as other keywords like “blogging pitfalls,” and “how to blog right.”

The prompt would look something like this:

“Generate a 60-second script for a YouTube Short giving tips about blogging mistakes to avoid. Include keywords ‘blogging mistakes to avoid,’ ‘blogging pitfalls,’ and ‘how to blog right.'”

3. Fact check!

AI can streamline your video and script-writing process; however, it isn’t perfect. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT will pull from other online sources, but those sources may not always be updated with the latest information.

That said, always double-check and fact-check the output of generative AI to ensure all the information is up-to-date and accurate.

4. Create the YouTube video using an AI video generator

Jensen used various tools to create a YouTube video for his channel, such as Microsoft Edge‘s AI Voice Reader and Voice Recorder, which are free and readily available.

But if you’re looking for all-in-one AI video generators, you have plenty of options.

For example, I used an AI tool called InVideo to create a short-form video for TikTok, and the same platform can be used to create a YouTube Short.

So, now that we know you can create a YouTube channel using only AI, what other marketing tools, tactics, and experiments do you want me to try? Let me know on X or LinkedIn!
