The agent writes the script
A blank script box is where most creators stall. Here you give a topic; the agent grounds a hook-driven script in a real breakout from your niche and your own best-performing patterns.
Make videos from a chat — the agent writes the script
Connect ViralMint to Claude Code or Cursor and drive the whole pipeline with one prompt. The agent researches what's already going viral in your niche, writes the hook-driven script for you, and renders the finished short. Free, open-source, and it all runs on your machine.
Six skills, one prompt each
Topic → Viral Short The hard part of short-form isn't the editing — it's writing a script that hooks.
Make me a 60-second short about home espresso for beginners. → Article / URL → Short Paste a link in chat. Turn this into a 45-second short: https://example.com/blog/ai-trends-2026 → Long Video → Clips Drop a YouTube or podcast link in chat. Pull the 5 best clips from this podcast: https://youtube.com/watch?v=… → Brainrot Video The looping-gameplay-plus-voiceover format that dominates TikTok. Make a brainrot short explaining the Roman Empire's collapse in 60 seconds. → Channel Audit → Plan Claude pulls your recent uploads, extracts the hook, structure and tone of each, compares them against what's breaking out in your niche, and tells you exactly what to make next — with the reasons. Analyze my last 5 uploads and tell me what to post next. → Repurpose Everywhere Stop re-exporting the same short five times. Repurpose my latest video for TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram. → Why skills, not just a UI
Open, local, free
Other agent video tools paywall their skills and run in their cloud. ViralMint's are open-source (AGPL), run on your machine, and bill per render at roughly cost — your footage never leaves your computer.
The whole pipeline, one message
Research → script → voice → captions → render → multi-platform export, end to end, from a single chat prompt. No clicking through screens, no copy-pasting between tools.
Frequently asked
What is a ViralMint skill?
A one-prompt workflow that drives ViralMint's MCP server from an agent like Claude Code or Cursor. You ask in plain language and the agent runs the whole pipeline against the app on your machine.
Do skills make better videos, or just faster ones?
Better. The agent researches what's already going viral in your niche, extracts the proven hook, and writes an original script grounded in that data plus your own best-performing patterns — so you never start from a blank page.
What does it cost?
The app and MCP server are free and open-source. Renders bill against a prepaid balance at roughly provider cost plus a small margin — no subscription, no watermark.
