YouTube Shorts has become one of the fastest-growing content formats in 2025. With the help of AI tools, you can create and upload videos quickly — even without recording yourself or learning complex editing. Here’s how to start a Shorts channel using AI and grow it step-by-step.
I tested 3-4 tools before finalizing this one — quality and speed really stood out.
1. Create Script Ideas with ChatGPT
Ask ChatGPT for short scripts on topics like motivation, tech facts, lifestyle tips, or finance quotes. Keep scripts simple and concise.
2. Turn Text into Videos
Use AI tools such as Fliki, Pictory, or CapCut templates to convert text into short videos with voice-over and auto-captions.
3. Design Thumbnails in Canva
Create eye-catching thumbnails using Canva templates — add bold text, contrast colors, and a clean background.
4. Upload Consistently
Post at least one Short each day. Consistency helps YouTube understand your niche and push your videos to the right audience.
Conclusion
AI makes the production process easier, but your creativity and discipline still matter. Choose a topic, create simple videos, and focus on consistency instead of perfection.
Note: Results depend on your content quality, niche selection, and consistency. AI helps, but human creativity and effort matter most.
