I Built an AI Tool to Help Creators Generate Reels in Minutes

Short-form video content is everywhere — Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
But creating consistent short videos is still a painful process for many creators and small businesses.

That frustration is exactly why I built MyReelGen, an AI-powered tool designed to make reel creation fast and simple.


The Problem

Creating reels usually means:

  • Editing videos manually
  • Writing captions and hashtags every time
  • Keeping up with trends
  • Spending hours per post

For solo creators and small teams, this quickly becomes unsustainable.


Why I Decided to Build MyReelGen

I noticed that many existing tools were either:

  • Too complex
  • Too expensive
  • Not designed for creators in developing markets

I wanted to build something that:

  • Uses AI to automate repetitive work
  • Has a minimal learning curve
  • Is affordable
  • Works globally, including Pakistan

The goal wasn’t to replace creativity — it was to remove friction.


How MyReelGen Works

The workflow is intentionally simple:

  1. Enter a topic or idea
  2. AI generates reel content
  3. Captions and hashtags are generated automatically
  4. Export and post

No timelines, no complicated settings, no editing experience required.


What I Learned While Building It

Building MyReelGen reinforced a few lessons:

  • Creators care about speed and consistency, not features
  • Simplicity beats flexibility in early products
  • Affordable pricing matters more than most founders think

Listening to early users shaped the product more than any roadmap.


Why This Matters for Creators in Pakistan

Many AI tools are priced for Western markets.

Creators in Pakistan and similar regions need:

  • Tools that fit their budgets
  • Simple workflows
  • Access to the same technology used globally

MyReelGen was built with this reality in mind.


Early Feedback

Since launch, the feedback has been encouraging:

  • “This saves me hours every week”
  • “I can finally post consistently”
  • “No editing headaches anymore”

This validated the idea that creators want results, not complexity.


What’s Next

Planned improvements include:

  • More customization options
  • Trend-based reel suggestions
  • Better language support
  • Smarter templates

The long-term goal is to make AI-powered content creation accessible to everyone.
