YapCut.

A two-part short-form content engine for Claude Code. It takes you from "I have no idea what to post" to a finished, captioned vertical video, and it works to your niche and your brand rather than mine.

YapCut
1. Outlier Radar

Researches your niche every week. It finds short-form videos that beat their own creator's baseline by 5x or more, so you copy a proven mechanic instead of chasing follower counts. It pulls out the hook and format that made them work, pours in fresh substance from your subject, and writes roughly ten ready-to-film scripts per lane to a tracked dashboard.

2. TikTok Yap Editor

Turns raw phone clips into a finished vertical video. Talking-head cuts get a transcript-first story edit, dead air removed, word-by-word burned captions in your brand and a burned hook. Day-in-the-life montages get the voiceover scripted beat by beat and the picture locked to it.

Pick a script on the dashboard, shoot it, drop the clips on the editor. That is the whole loop.

What it actually looks like.

Radar writes the week to a dashboard you own. Example content below, not my live pipeline: research it found, the script it wrote, the LinkedIn twin, and the state of each idea as it moves.

The script it wrote
HookOpen ChatGPT. Ask it who the best vendor in your category is. I’ll wait.
TurnIt named three companies. If yours wasn’t one of them, you didn’t rank badly. You weren’t in the room.
ProofUnder a third of searches end in a click now. The answer is the product.
MoveWrite the ten questions a buyer asks before they find you. Run them. Count the misses.
OutThat count is your citation gap.
The LinkedIn twin, written with it

I asked an AI who the best vendor in my category was.

It named three companies. None of them were us.

That is not a ranking problem. Ranking assumes you are on the page. This is being absent from the answer, and no lost-deal report will ever record it.

Take it.
Tell me what breaks.

It is creator-agnostic on purpose. If it does something stupid in your niche, that is useful to me.
