Autopilot: Build a TikTok Ad Campaign From One Prompt (2026)

Start with one useful asset

Try: "Create one short vertical video for a coffee shop. Show an iced coffee being poured in natural light. Keep it within my available credits."

Autopilot turns your request into a production plan with a prompt, model and credit cost for each asset. If you name a model, duration or resolution, those choices affect the quote. It can ask for missing details or explain when your request exceeds the budget.

For a campaign, name the deliverables explicitly: "Make one product video and two cover images for our new coffee blend." A plan can contain up to 10 assets. Start with a small batch, review the outputs, then develop the direction that fits your brand.

Review the plan before spending

The approval card lists each asset and its cost. Deselect anything you do not need. The selected total is compared with your current balance, and generation remains unavailable when there is a shortfall. You can buy credits, select fewer items or send a revised request with a lower budget.

Use Edit request to change the creative direction or ask for another model. This creates a revised request; it is not an inline script editor. Review the new quote before approving it. Unapproved plans expire after 24 hours.

What does a campaign cost?

Cost is the sum of the selected assets. Model, duration and resolution can change that total, so the approval card is the source for your current quote. Credit packages are one-time purchases; see the pricing page for available packages.

By default, planning does not charge generation credits. Approval reserves the selected generation cost. If an item fails, its credits are refunded; completed assets remain available. The final receipt shows produced assets, spending and refunds.

Can I let Autopilot run automatically?

Yes. Open the spending settings beside the message box, switch on Run automatically and set a Limit per run in credits. Only plans within both that limit and your balance can start automatically; other plans wait for review. Turn it off to return to manual approval.

The limit covers additional automated attempts as well as initial production. With manual approval, your authorization is the selected quote. Choosing a more expensive revised plan requires another approval.

Where do the results appear?

Follow progress in the conversation and open Results for completed assets. Videos and images also appear in your library. Download and inspect them before posting to TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Autopilot generates content; it does not schedule or publish social posts.

You can cancel an unfinished run. Completed files stay in your library and credits for unfinished items are refunded. If a connection drops, reconnect or refresh to recover the conversation and its current status.

Can I use it from an AI assistant?

Viralance also provides an MCP server for assistants such as Claude Code and Claude Desktop; see how to connect Viralance to Claude via MCP. It exposes autopilot_create, autopilot_execute and autopilot_status tools, and the API key needs the Autopilot scope. The dashboard remains available for reviewing plans and downloading results.

Write a brief that is easy to execute

Include the product, intended audience, platform, number of assets and budget. Reference images help communicate appearance. For example: "One 9:16 product video and one cover image for our ceramic mugs, aimed at home-office shoppers. Use soft daylight, no text in the video, and keep the total within my available credits."

Review product details and generated text before publishing. Model output and generation time vary, and a useful first draft may still need another creative pass.
