How to build a TikTok Slideshow & UGC Video machine — from Cursor.

Generate 50 TikTok slideshow hook lines for the niche "remote-first
solopreneur tools". Use these 5 angles, 10 each:

1. POV — "POV: you find the cheat code for X"
2. List — "5 tools every X uses to scale Y"
3. Curiosity gap — "Nobody talks about this but..."
4. Contrarian — "Stop doing X. Do Y instead."
5. Stat-led — "I went from X to Y in N days"

Output: JSON array. Each entry { angle, hook, est_hook_strength_1_10 }.
Max 12 words per hook. No emojis. No hashtags.

For each of these 10 hooks, generate one slide image.

Use the persona reference at ./assets/persona-master.png as input.
gpt-image-2 → /v1/images/edits, input_fidelity: high (auto on gpt-image-2).

For each slide:
- Same person, same hoodie, same lighting style
- Different scene: living room sofa / desk / kitchen / car / bed
- Phone in hand or laptop visible when relevant
- Expression matches the hook (shock, smile, smug, focused)
- 1024x1536 portrait

Output filenames: ./out/slide-001.png ... slide-010.png

import sharp from "sharp";

async function burnHook(slidePath: string, hook: string, outPath: string) {
  const W = 1024, H = 1536;
  const svg = `
<svg width="${W}" height="${H}" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <style>
    .h { font-family: 'Proxima Nova Black', Arial Black, sans-serif;
         font-weight: 900; font-size: 88px; fill: white;
         stroke: black; stroke-width: 8; paint-order: stroke fill;
         text-anchor: middle; }
  </style>
  <foreignObject x="40" y="60" width="${W - 80}" height="380">
    <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="h"
         style="text-align:center; line-height:1.05;">${hook}</div>
  </foreignObject>
</svg>`;
  await sharp(slidePath)
    .composite([{ input: Buffer.from(svg), top: 0, left: 0 }])
    .toFile(outPath);
}

Use the TokPortal MCP.

1. Check my balance with get_credit_balance.
   I need at least 25 (account) + 2 (carousel slot) = 27 credits.

2. Create a bundle:
   create_bundle({
     bundle_type: "account_and_videos",
     platform: "tiktok",
     country: "USA",
     videos_quantity: 1,
     warming: "niche",
     niche_description: "remote-first solopreneur tools"
   })

3. Configure the slot as a TikTok photo carousel:
   configure_video({
     bundle_id, video_index: 0,
     video_type: "tiktok_carousel",
     image_urls: [./out/slide-001.png ... slide-010.png],
     description: "tools that actually moved the needle for me #solopreneur",
     scheduled_for: "2026-05-02T14:00:00-07:00"
   })

4. publish_bundle(bundle_id) — assigns a US account manager.

Confirm each step before moving to the next.

Generate a hook frame for a UGC TikTok video.

1. Use gpt-image-2 edits with ./assets/persona-master.png as input.
   Prompt: "Same person, same hoodie. Standing in a sunlit living room,
   holding her phone facing camera with a slightly amazed expression.
   Composition: subject left third, phone visible right.
   Real-life iPhone photo, 720x1280."

2. Save to ./out/hook-frame.png

3. Then submit it to Seedance 2.0 image-to-video on fal.ai with
   prompt: "She glances at her phone, then looks up at camera with
   a knowing smile. Subtle natural motion. 4 seconds."

# Concatenate hook (4s) + demo (12s), normalize loudness
ffmpeg -i hook.mp4 -i demo.mp4 -filter_complex \
  "[0:v][0:a][1:v][1:a]concat=n=2:v=1:a=1[v][a]; \
   [a]loudnorm=I=-16:LRA=11:tp=-1.5[ao]" \
  -map "[v]" -map "[ao]" \
  -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 18 -pix_fmt yuv420p \
  -c:a aac -b:a 192k \
  out/final.mp4

Use the TokPortal MCP. I want to publish out/final.mp4 to one of my
existing US TikTok accounts.

1. list_accounts({ platform: "tiktok", country: "USA" })
   → pick the one with the highest engagement_rate.

2. list_account_bundles for that account → find an open video slot.
   If none, create_bundle({ bundle_type: "videos_only", videos_quantity: 1 })
   for that account.

3. configure_video({
     bundle_id, video_index: <slot>,
     video_type: "tiktok_video",
     video_url: "https://my-cdn.com/final.mp4",
     description: "the only AI tool I actually use daily",
     hashtags: ["#productivity", "#solopreneur"],
     scheduled_for: "<next 14:00 PT>"
   })

4. publish_bundle.
