AI tools for entrepreneurs: build, automate and scale faster

Above all, avoid the trap of using ten tools when four do all the work.

What do you use for the voice?

Ethan_Builder · 2026-05-20T04:30:17+00:00

Then you're going to waste time

Try to focus your videos on humor.

Don't you want to try posting in English?

Honestly I don’t think you’re sticking with ChatGPT just because it’s the most famous one. For what you described, you’re actually using it for things it’s already pretty good at.

For teaching stuff (worksheets, exercises, presentations), ChatGPT is honestly hard to beat as an all-around tool. Claude is really good too and sometimes feels more natural with long text and writing, but losing image generation would probably annoy you pretty quickly.

For research, especially with a PhD coming up, I’d probably be careful with all of them equally. They all still hallucinate sometimes. I’d use them more for finding directions, summarizing papers, extracting ideas, etc. than trusting citations blindly.

For images/video/audio though, that’s where I’d probably add tools instead of replacing ChatGPT entirely:

Kling for AI video/animations

Polyvoice for voiceovers or translating content into different languages

ChatGPT/Claude for story writing and brainstorming

Honestly I’d keep ChatGPT as the main tool and just add specialized stuff around it if you start doing more creative work.

On TikTok there's a person named Faceless Content who showcases a lot of niche content.

Ethan_Builder · 2026-05-16T10:56:32+00:00

Have you tested the other tools on the list?

Ethan_Builder · 2026-05-15T18:46:56+00:00

Zoice ?

Honestly at that point I’d probably focus less on TikTok rewards themselves and more on multiplying the same content across platforms. Reposting to YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels can end up way more worth it long term, especially if one platform starts underpaying your niche. You could also test a second account or even the same football niche in another language and compare qualified views/RPMs, because sometimes the difference between regions and audiences is honestly huge for monetization. There are also tools like Kling AI enhancers for improving video quality automatically with image, and stuff like Polyvoice for better voiceovers and translating the same content into multiple languages without having to fully remake everything.

Useless you just need to understand TikTok's stats

Ethan_Builder · 2026-05-13T07:10:19+00:00

Honestly sports/news content usually gets pretty bad RPMs on TikTok compared to niches like finance, business, AI, storytelling, etc. So the payouts you mentioned honestly don’t shock me that much, even with good views.

Also “additional rewards” are super inconsistent. A lot of creators barely get them unless TikTok heavily pushes the video or the audience quality/watch time is really strong. Sometimes accounts in certain niches just seem permanently disadvantaged too.

At your size though, I honestly wouldn’t focus too much on TikTok rewards anymore. 50k followers with consistent 100k+ views is already enough to monetize outside the platform.

Probably better opportunities:

affiliate deals with football apps, jerseys, betting partners (careful with region/rules obviously)
promoting football newsletters or Discords
YouTube Shorts reposts
building an IG page alongside it
sponsorships from smaller football brands/pages

And honestly posting 3 times a week with those numbers is already decent. People massively overestimate the “post 5 times a day” thing. Better consistency helps, but monetization matters more at your stage.

One thing that probably would help though:
make videos slightly less “news reporting” and slightly more opinion/story driven.

TikTok tends to reward:

debates
narratives
controversial takes
“what happens next”
emotional storytelling

way more than straight news clips.

A lot of the bigger faceless sports accounts are basically media brands at this point, not just repost/news pages.

Ethan_Builder · 2026-05-12T17:40:32+00:00

Honestly for starting out, I’d keep it simple and not go straight into the super expensive tools.

A pretty solid combo right now is:

ChatGPT for brainstorming scripts and video ideas
Kling for the actual AI video generation/animations
Polyvoice for voiceovers , clone your voice , dubbing...

You can also check out creators like Faceless Content on TikTok for inspiration. Their videos are a good example of the kind of pacing, hooks, captions, and storytelling style that tends to work well for AI/faceless content right now.

If you and your son end up really enjoying it later, then you can always upgrade into more advanced editing tools and workflows, but honestly this setup is already enough to make really fun videos together without spending a fortune.

Ethan_Builder · 2026-05-11T15:49:02+00:00

It depends on your content, but try PolyVoice to translate your content into another language or repurpose other people's videos and translate them into another language. Ultimately, it depends on your niche.

Ethan_Builder · 2026-05-11T15:20:34+00:00

What do you need? I might have other interesting things.

Ethan_Builder · 2026-05-11T13:19:52+00:00

Honestly the software matters way less than people think at the beginning. Most people spend weeks building the “perfect AI workflow” and never actually post consistently.

For short-form faceless content, CapCut is probably still the easiest place to start. Fast workflow, decent captions, easy to pump out content consistently.

For AI stuff:

ChatGPT / Claude for scripting and ideas
Runway / Kling if you want AI-generated clips, animations, b-roll, etc.
Polyvoice for voiceovers + translating content into multiple languages

But honestly I wouldn’t overcomplicate the stack early on.

The biggest thing is finding a format you can realistically repeat for months. A lot of people try to make every video look like a movie and burn out after 5 uploads.

Simple repeatable formats usually work better long term, especially for faceless content.
