Instagram Reels on Autopilot — Turn Photos into Cinematic Reels

This walkthrough shows you how to build a fully automated Instagram Reels pipeline using Claude CoWork (Claude Desktop). The workflow connects three tools — Google Drive for your existing product photos, Key AI for image-to-video generation, and Botato for automatic social media posting. You describe what you want in plain English, Claude handles the rest: fetches the photo, generates a cinematic reel, writes the caption, and posts it to Instagram. The demo uses a real estate business turning listing photos into property reels, but the same setup works for any business with product images.

The real power move here is scheduling. Once you've got the workflow dialed in, you can set it to run on a recurring schedule — every Monday at 1pm, for example — and Claude will pick a new image, generate a fresh reel, and post it without you lifting a finger. The video also covers setting up MCP connectors (the bridges between Claude and your tools), creating project-specific skills so Claude follows your brand guidelines, and building up persistent memory so the output quality improves over time. Total cost: $20/month for Claude Pro + $5 in Key AI credits.
