Step by step

1. Find a viral reel

   Open Shorties and tap Brandy at the bottom.

   First time? Brandy chats with you for a few minutes to learn your brand. She needs that before she can rewrite a script for you. If you see Talk to Brandy instead of a grid of posts, start there.

   Then scroll down to Recreate a trending post. These are posts going viral right now, updated every day. The ones with a small play button in the corner are reels.

2. Read the viral script

   Tap a reel. Up top you can watch it. Under it are the views, likes and comments, and how many times their usual views it got, so you know it wasn't just a big account.

   Below that is what they said and why it works. You can always jump to the original reel from here.

3. Make it mine

   Tap Make it mine at the bottom. The bar asks What's your video about? Type your topic, like “my morning routine as a nurse,” or tap a quick ask:

   • Rewrite this to match my niche swaps your details in.
   • Keep the hook, change the topic keeps their hook and changes the rest.
   • Shorter makes it shorter.
   • Make it sound more like me rewrites it in your tone.

   A quick ask goes into the bar so you can add more. Nothing changes until you tap the arrow. Each rewrite is 5 credits.

4. Keep or undo

   Your script rewrites itself: red and crossed out is coming out, green is going in. Tap Keep if you like it, or Undo and try different instructions. The bar then asks What else should change? so you can keep going.

   Keep their structure and rhythm. That's a big part of why it went viral.

5. Save your script

   Tap Save at the top, pick one of the suggested names or type your own, and tap Save. You'll see Script saved and a new project opens with your script in it, linked to the original reel.

6. Film it

   Tap Record at the bottom to open the camera. Turn on the teleprompter from Tools: your script is already there. Tap record and set the speed you like. Then edit it with any of the other tutorials.

   Already have a project? Open it from the Projects tab, swipe to the script card and tap it, then Write with AI and Start from a viral script. Pick a reel, make it yours and tap Use this script.
