Naive Short Form v1
Short vertical video, every piece original: briefed, scripted, generated in the channel's own look, and queued for you by an agent team on a schedule.
By naïve·media/faceless v1.7.0
What it is
No footage, no camera, no studio. Setup asks the niche, the apps it posts on, a channel or video to model it on, and the cadence — and the agent team runs the channel from those answers: what is moving in the niche becomes briefs, briefs become hooks and scripts, scripts become original vertical video in one look, and what each kind of post did comes back as a weekly report. Every finished piece is filed as a pending post with a caption drafted against it, and the queue is the only way out — nothing reaches an account without you. This is the workload Faceless Social Bench measures.
Every video generated from a brief and a style template — a reference image and a prompt, so the channel keeps one look without a camera
The agents read your setup answers before they do anything, so the first day's work is about your niche and not a guess at one
If the queue is already ahead of you, it makes nothing rather than making more
Comments answered in the channel's voice — each reply held at Approvals with its text in front of you
Ideal for Creators and operators who want a channel publishing original video daily without a studio behind it.
The week it runs
media/faceless · v1.7.0 · published Sep 25, 2026
8 timers are provisioned with this template — 39 unattended runs a week. Each fire opens a session with the message excerpted below and spends against its own cap, which the studio prints before you deploy.

The Agent Team
read from the media release
The 5 agents naive up provisions into your organization — the role each holds, the tools it is allowed, the skills it was taught, the timers it owns and the first thing it is told. An agent marked required cannot be left out of an install; the rest are yours to decline.
channel-manager
Channel leadrequiredRuns the channel: plans the week from the cadence answer, briefs the team, keeps the post queue tidy and replies to comments in the channel's voice. Never publishes without an approved post.

You will be asked
read from the media release
Answered in the studio before anything is provisioned, and read by every agent before it acts. Configuration only — a secret is a vault credential or an app secret, never an answer. You can change the answers later.
- 01
Niche
Pick one or type your own — every brief, script and render is for this niche. Your tone and who it is for is the first thing the channel manager will ask you about.

Where should this channel post?
Pick the apps your videos go out on — one or several. Picking them is not the same as connecting them — after setup, open Accounts and connect the account you post from on each one, or the team will fill a queue that cannot publish.

A channel or video to model this on
Optional, and the most useful thing you can give the team. Paste a channel or video link, and/or the URLs of a few stills from it — stills are worth far more than a link, because the team can actually look at those. It is studied once, up front: the shot grammar, the hooks, the pacing, the caption shape. Every brief, script, render and review is then measured against it. Leave it blank and the team works from your niche alone.

Skills
read from the media release
The procedures the agent team loads before it works — what to read first, what to file where, what never to do. naive/ names the platform's own catalogue, which the studio's Skills screen carries; a bare slug is a skill the template ships itself.
What stays yours
The same three rules across every template. They are the blueprint's, not the agents' — an agent cannot widen them.
Nothing publishes itself
Every tool that acts outside your organization — a post, an email, a reply — is granted
ask, notallow. The call parks the session with its arguments in front of you and waits. Approval is a person, every time.A budget it cannot raise
A daily cap per agent and a cap per task, declared in the template and enforced by the platform. A run that would exceed its cap stops rather than spends.
Denied by default
An agent is offered the tools its template names and nothing else. Everything it was not granted is denied by name — the shell included, which is also why a content agent never provisions a machine it would not use.
What it ships
v1.7.0
A template is a repo: the apps below, their server, and a naive.config.ts declaring the agent team. Clone it, bind it to your organization, bring it up.
