MoneyPrinter

What it does

Give it a subject and it writes the script, assembles footage, adds captions and outputs a vertical short, with script and metadata generated by local Ollama models so that part costs nothing per run. A Postgres-backed queue makes long batches restart-safe. Two constraints matter more than the tooling: you are responsible for the rights to whatever footage and music go in, and platforms treat floods of near-identical auto-generated uploads as repetitious content, which is a monetisation problem rather than a technical one.
