Shortspilot.ai (marketed as Autopilot Shorts) is an AI-powered platform that generates, edits, and automatically publishes faceless short-form videos for TikTok and YouTube Shorts. It targets content creators and social media marketers who want a hands-off channel growth solution without appearing on camera. The platform handles the full production pipeline: it generates a script from a chosen niche or custom topic, applies AI voiceovers (sourced from ElevenLabs and OpenAI voice models), adds captions, and assembles a finished video. Creators can select from pre-built content niches such as Scary Stories, Reddit Stories, True Crime, Fun Facts, Interesting History, and Fake Chat, or define their own topic. Scheduling and distribution are built in. Shortspilot connects directly to TikTok and YouTube accounts and publishes on a set schedule, posting videos roughly six hours after generation. An Auto Pilot mode removes all manual steps, while a Manual Mode lets creators review content before it goes live. The platform was founded in 2024 and is based in Hamburg, Germany. As of 2026 it remains an active, independently operating subscription service with no reported acquisition or shutdown. It competes in a crowded faceless-video-automation segment alongside AutoShorts.ai, StoryShort, and similar tools.
