AI short-form video production platform

the problem

Short-form video dominates content consumption but creating it is slow and expensive. Creators need to produce high-quality clips at scale without a production team.

market context

India's creator economy is growing rapidly and AI-generated video infrastructure is becoming viable. BharatShorts is positioned as the production tool — take a topic, get a ready-to-publish short video. The architecture separates fast AI generation from slow video rendering.

how it's built

Next.js frontend for the creator interface. Gemini generates scripts and narration. Railway hosts the video rendering pipeline — a persistent worker process that handles ffmpeg composition jobs. This separation keeps the Vercel frontend fast while the Railway worker handles compute-heavy rendering.
