Automated TikTok Slideshow Factory

10 TikTok slideshows per week used to take 30-40 hours of manual work. Research topics, write scripts, design slides, format each one for TikTok’s dimensions. With Hermes Agent, that whole process runs automated. The creator’s job is review and approve.

“Hermes Agent = automated TikTok slideshow factory. It researches the topic, writes the script, formats the slides, outputs in the exact dimensions TikTok needs. 10 slideshows a week manually takes 30-40 hours. With Hermes it takes the time to review and approve.”

Time Comparison

Task	Manual (10 slideshows)	Hermes Automated
Topic research	8-10 hours	Minutes
Script writing	10-12 hours	Seconds per slideshow
Slide design	10-12 hours	Automated
Formatting	2-4 hours	Automatic
Total	30-40 hours	1-2 hours (review only)

What used to fill a work week now takes about the same time as watching a movie. That opens room to:

• Scale output without adding time
• Spend more time on creative direction
• Use the same pipeline for Reels, YouTube Shorts
• Test different scripts, formats, topics
