What can Gemini CLI do with VidGuy?

Not just scheduling. Gemini plans the content, VidGuy makes it in your brand, and it goes out on every channel you connect.

Ask Gemini for a creator-style ad, a product demo or a talking-head explainer. VidGuy casts the actor, writes the script and renders it in 9:16.

Carousels and slides

Turn a link, a PDF or an idea into an on-brand Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn carousel in one message.

Daily content packs

Gemini can fill a whole week at once: videos, carousels and memes planned around your offer and spaced at the best times.

AI influencers for your brand

Create a consistent AI creator who posts for you every day, in the same face and voice, on your accounts.

Publish everywhere

Post or schedule to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads and Pinterest from the same chat.

Remembers your brand

Autopilot

Can Gemini run your marketing while you work on the business?

Yes. Give Gemini your goal once. It plans a calendar, VidGuy produces every post, and posts go out on schedule even after the chat is closed. You decide how much it does alone.

Plan the month

One message turns into a full calendar across your channels.

Draft first, post later

Ask for drafts, review them in VidGuy, then approve.

Always-on posting

Hand a daily routine to a VidGuy content agent and pause it any time.

Is it safe to let Gemini post for you?

You stay in control of every account and every credit.

Gemini only reaches the brands and social accounts you connected in VidGuy.
Ask for drafts instead of publishing when you want to review first.
Your agent sees the credit cost before it generates, so there are no surprise charges.

Frequently asked questions

How does Gemini CLI work with VidGuy?

VidGuy runs an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and a CLI skill. Once Gemini is connected it can call more than 80 VidGuy tools: make UGC videos, carousels, memes and AI influencer posts for your brand, then publish or schedule them on your social accounts.

How do I connect VidGuy to Gemini?

gemini mcp add in the terminal. Then approve the VidGuy sign-in (or set your API key) and ask for content.

Can Gemini really run my social media on autopilot?

Yes, within limits you set. Gemini can plan a calendar, make every post and schedule it. You can ask for drafts first, keep a human approval step, or let a VidGuy content agent post daily on its own. You can pause it at any time.

Is VidGuy just a social media scheduler?

No. Scheduling is the last step. VidGuy makes the content itself: UGC-style videos with AI actors, carousels, slides, memes and AI influencers, all in your brand kit. Then it posts them.

Do I need a VidGuy API key for Gemini?

No. The MCP connection uses OAuth, so you approve access with a sign-in link. API keys are only needed for the CLI skill.

How much does it cost to use Gemini with VidGuy?

Connecting is free. Agent access (MCP and CLI) is included on paid VidGuy plans from Starter up, and each generation uses credits. Your agent can check the credit cost before it makes anything.
