Working title: agent-media-style copycat for Brazil and LatAm (working name): short drama series made from a chat, in Portuguese and Spanish

Summary

BriefingVerifiedSelf-reported

agent-media (Veloris, LLC; founder Yuval Suede) lets a user connect one MCP link to Claude, ChatGPT or Codex, describe a show and get a planned season, a fixed cast and 9:16 episodes of up to 60 s. TrustMRR's newsletter (2026-11-03) ranks it first for 30-day growth: about $2,960 revenue, +1,340% (Verified via TrustMRR).…

Read the rest

A third-party board reports $2,185 MRR, $3,041 all-time, 185 subscriptions and a $50K asking price on TrustMRR (Self-reported, secondary). It launches on Product Hunt on Sunday 2026-11-08. Languages today: English, Korean, German, Spanish, so Brazilian Portuguese is an open gap. Copycat window: weeks old, not acquired, not funded (listed for sale). Risk: AI short-drama is crowded (Creative Claw, opendrama, skills) and per-second video cost may squeeze margin.

Description

Original: an MCP server (OAuth, no API keys) that turns Claude, ChatGPT or Codex into a drama studio: it interviews the user, pitches concepts, writes a season grid, casts two leads and up to six supporting characters, builds up to eight locations and films each episode in 9:16 with captions and no watermark; the user approves cast, scripts and per-episode price.…

Pricing: Episode 1 $1; 10 episodes $49 one-time; plans $49/$149/$499 per month priced by seconds of video; 30% affiliate share. Distribution: it also auto-posts to TikTok per a third-party profile. HBV copycat: the same MCP-in-your-AI product built for Brazilian-Portuguese and LatAm-Spanish micro-dramas (novela-style hooks, local settings and voices), with a SEO/GEO page per genre and an affiliate loop. Video generation is bought by the second from model APIs, so pricing must keep a margin. Global Application: short-drama creation inside AI assistants in any language not yet served. LatAm Version: PT-BR first (Brazil), then MX/CO Spanish.

Target customer

Brazilian and LatAm creators and fans who already use Claude, ChatGPT or Codex and watch short dramas on TikTok and Reels

Pain

No cast, crew or budget; existing AI video tools give single clips in English, not consistent series in Portuguese

Why this score

Why it scored lower: Video margin and crowding in AI drama

MoatHypothesis

Language and local-culture focus plus launch speed. The original serves four languages; PT-BR hooks, voices and local creators are open. Competitors: Creative Claw, opendrama, Higgsfield, skills repos, ReelShort-style apps. Code and prompts are copyable; moat is speed, SEO/GEO per genre and an affiliate creator loop. Hypothesis.

Jobs to be done

When I have a story idea but no cast, crew or budget, I want an assistant that writes and films a full series with the same characters in Portuguese, so I can publish a short drama on TikTok and Reels this week.

HXC

Camila · 27 · São Paulo: Part-time creator who watches short dramas on TikTok and already uses Claude or ChatGPT; wants to make a Brazilian series without actors. Frustration & buying signal: Frustrated that tools stop at English clips; would pay $1 to test a first episode and $49 for a full series.

Build and go-to-market

Tech stack

Cursor + Vercel + GitHub cesarx2 (one repo); Supabase; Stripe

GTM channels

SEO/GEO per genre in PT-BR and ES, AI-assistant directories, affiliate creators, faceless sample shows; no founder on camera, no paid ads

Risks

Main risk

Video margin and crowding in AI drama

All risks

Value Risk: Attention — Interest is shown by revenue growth only, not interviews. Next: Run a $1 PT-BR test page. | Usability Risk: Supported — One chat line to a series; approvals at each step. Next: Test the approval flow in Portuguese. | Feasibility Risk: Attention — MCP plus video orchestration and cast consistency is not trivial.…

Read the rest

Next: Prototype one 30 s episode end to end. | Viability Risk: Attention — Margins unknown; crowded category; original may add Portuguese. Next: Price per second before any build.

Next validation step

Price a 30 s episode on two video APIs; run a $1 PT-BR first-episode smoke page; check Portuguese search volume
