AI :: Image-To-Video :: Hedra :: Training :: I Automated Viral AI Podcast Baby Videos With n8n (Free Template!)
⪼ Made with 💜 by Polyglot.
This video is a tutorial aimed to educate and inspire viewers on how to build a fully automated AI workflow using n8n, OpenAI, 11 Labs, and HDRA to create viral "baby podcast" videos in the style of famous podcasters like Theo Von or Joe Rogan. Inspired by the popular trend of AI-generated talking baby content, the creator walks through setting up a system that collects user input, generates a humorous script and matching visuals, synthesizes voiceovers, and assembles the final video—all in an automated pipeline.

🧠 Concept Inspiration: Based on a viral AI-generated baby podcast clip (14M+ views), showcasing a “baby” Theo Von.
-
🧰 Tech Stack:
- n8n: Handles the overall workflow automation.

- Includes wait steps to account for HDRA processing time
- Extracts and merges asset IDs and binary files using custom code nodes
-
📁 Final Output:
- Resulting video is uploaded to Google Drive for user download
- Demo features a chubby baby with rainbow hair speaking in a Rogan/Von style about aliens as cosmic cousins
