How to Start a Talk Clips Channel for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts

A talk clips channel is a ready-made naïve template: an AI agent team, running on naïve, turns talks you have rights to into vertical clips.

The agents find the quotable moments, cut them vertical, and caption them. Every clip waits for your approval before it posts.

Step one is a naïve account. Then you deploy the template.

What is a talk clips channel?

It is one ready-made company template, not a pile of tools you wire together. When you deploy it, naïve sets up — in a single step — a small team of AI agents, a dashboard to manage the clip queue, your connected posting accounts, and the budgets those agents run under. It is built on the clipping channel, so the team already knows the job: find the moment, cut it clean, caption it, queue it.

Each clip follows the same recognisable shape:

• One idea, not a highlight reel — the reveal, the quotable answer, or the demo moment.
• Vertical, speaker in frame, so the crop never loses who is talking.
• Captions burned on and a title plus hashtags drafted for the feed.

What do you need before you start?

You do not need much, and that is the point. Three things make the first week go better:

• Recordings you have rights to. Your talks, your company's keynotes, panels you ran, launches you own.
• A point of view. "Founder lessons," "product reveals," "the best Q&A answers" — a channel with an angle beats one that posts everything.
• A cadence you will actually approve at. A few clips a day you review beats a flood you ignore.

How do you set it up?

Setup is a short interview, not a configuration screen. Here is the whole shape before you touch it:

1. 01

   Sign up for naïve

   Create your naïve account at app.usenaive.ai. The template runs inside it.

2. 02

   Open the company

   Start from the Talk Clips Channel. It is built on the clipping channel, so the team knows the format on day zero.

3. 03

   Name your sources

   Point it at the talks, keynotes, and launches you have rights to, and set your cadence.

4. 04

   Agents clip

   On your schedule, they find the moments that stand alone, cut them vertical, and caption them.

5. 05

   You approve

   Each finished clip waits in a queue with its caption. Approving is the only way it posts.

1. Sign up for a naïve account

Create your naïve account. The template, its agents, and their budgets all run inside it.

2. Open the Talk Clips Channel

From your naïve account, start from the company page and deploy the template. Because it is built on the clipping channel, the team of AI agents arrives already knowing how to find a quotable moment and cut it — you are not teaching it what a clip is, you are pointing it at your recordings.

3. Name the recordings and your cadence

The team asks you for two things before it sets anything up:

• Sources — the talks, keynotes, and launch recordings to clip from, which must be ones you have the rights to.
• Cadence — how often you want to post.

These answers become the project context every agent reads at the start of every run, and you can edit them later. Add a new keynote in week three and the next batch pulls from it.

4. Let the team cut the first clips

On the schedule you set, the timers fire and the team goes to work. There is no always-on loop burning money between runs — nothing runs until the next scheduled run fires. When a timer fires, the team:

• Scans each recording for the lines that land on their own, not the whole talk.
• Cuts each moment vertical with the speaker in frame and captions on.
• Writes the title and hashtags, drafted against each clip.

If the queue is already ahead of you, it makes nothing. The backlog is treated as a signal to stop, not a number to grow.

5. Approve before anything posts

This is the step that matters most. Every finished clip is filed as a pending post, not a published one. It lands in a review queue with its clip ready to play, its caption drafted, and where it is queued to go.

You watch it, edit the caption if you want, and approve or hold. Approving is the only path onto TikTok, Reels, or Shorts — there is no setting that lets a clip skip you.

How does one clip fit three platforms?

The output is a single vertical file that fits every short-video surface, so you are not re-cutting for each app:

Post the same clip to all three, or pick the ones your channel uses at setup. Either way, each post still parks in approval first.

What keeps the channel in your control?

Two guarantees sit under everything the agents do, and both are enforced by the platform rather than by the model's good behaviour:

• A budget it cannot raise. You set a daily cap per agent and a cap per task. Every run is priced before it starts, and a batch that would blow the cap stops instead of spending.
• A queue it cannot skip. The agents work the week — scanning, cutting, captioning, titling — but the account itself is yours. The pending queue is the only door out.

If you clip from a different kind of source, the podcast clips channel finds the stories and takes in your episodes, and the broader AI clipping channel covers any footage you have rights to. The approval and budget rules in this guide are identical across all of them — see how human approval works for the mechanism that sits under every channel.
