AI History Channel
AI History Channel is a template that builds an agent team that manages an entire social media account for you, researching and producing videos of major historical events in color, as if filmed today. This lets you create the history videos that are going really viral right now.
It uses the same agent team, schedule and setup questions as Naive Short Form v1, and every agent also gets the naive/channel-template-history skill for this niche.

What it is
Every video is generated, so there is no archive footage to find or license. After a short setup, the agent team picks a major event from before 1950, such as a battle, a disaster or an eruption, gets the facts right, and generates a short video of it in color and HD, starting from a reference frame. Each video is labelled as an AI reconstruction, not real footage, and never shows a real person's face. Each video waits for your approval before it posts, and the team reports which videos did best.
Every video is generated. There is no archive footage to find and no rights to clear.
It covers major events from before 1950, such as wars and disasters, shown in color as if filmed today.
Each video starts from a reference frame, so it shows the actual event and not a generic scene.
Every video waits in your review queue with its caption written. Nothing posts until you approve it.
Ideal for History and education creators who want a channel posting colorized history videos every day.
The week it runs
media/history · v2.1.3 · published Oct 1, 2026
3 timers are provisioned with this template — 10 unattended runs a week. Each fire opens a session with the message excerpted below and spends against its own cap, which the studio prints before you deploy.

The Agent Team
read from the media release
The 5 agents naive up provisions into your organization — the role each holds, the tools it is allowed, the skills it was taught, the timers it owns and the first thing it is told. An agent marked required cannot be left out of an install; the rest are yours to decline.

You will be asked
read from the media release
Answered in the studio before anything is provisioned, and read by every agent before it acts. Configuration only — a secret is a vault credential or an app secret, never an answer. You can change the answers later.

Skills
read from the media release
The procedures the agent team loads before it works — what to read first, what to file where, what never to do. naive/ names the platform's own catalogue, which the studio's Skills screen carries; a bare slug is a skill the template ships itself.
What stays yours
The same three rules across every template. They are the blueprint's, not the agents' — an agent cannot widen them.
Nothing publishes itself
Every tool that acts outside your organization — a post, an email, a reply — is granted
ask, notallow. The call parks the session with its arguments in front of you and waits. Approval is a person, every time.A budget it cannot raise
A daily cap per agent and a cap per task, declared in the template and enforced by the platform. A run that would exceed its cap stops rather than spends.
Denied by default
An agent is offered the tools its template names and nothing else. Everything it was not granted is denied by name — the shell included, which is also why a content agent never provisions a machine it would not use.
What it ships
v2.1.3
A template is a repo: the apps below, their server, and a naive.config.ts declaring the agent team. Clone it, bind it to your organization, bring it up.
- $ naive template media --template history# clone the blueprint repo
- $ naive claim --key sk_...# bind the clone to your organization
- $ naive up# provision the apps, the agents, their budgets
The number
This template has not been measured on its own yet. This is the number for Naive Short Form v1, which runs the same agent team, measured on live accounts against a control group.
