Turn any AI agent into a reel factory
ReelClaw is a free skill that lets your AI agent grab UGC reaction hooks from DansUGC, analyze your app demos with Gemini, cut everything together with FFmpeg, and post it everywhere. That 131K-view reel below? Made with this.

How it actually works
You bring your product demos. ReelClaw does the rest — finds the right hooks, picks trending sounds, cuts everything together, and posts it.
Pick UGC reaction hooks from 2,000+ real clips
DansUGC has a library of 2,000+ real human reaction clips from 40+ creators — the kind you see going viral on TikTok every day. The agent AI-searches for the right emotion (shocked, crying, laughing, whatever fits) and grabs the clip that'll stop the scroll.
Find trending music, text hooks & viral formats
You need music, text hooks that grab attention, and a format that's actually working right now. DansUGC has TikTok and Instagram research built in — it pulls what's trending so you don't spend hours scrolling for "research." No extra API key needed.
Drop in your demos — Gemini picks the best parts
Record your app, your product, whatever you're selling. Throw the raw files at the agent. Gemini's video intelligence watches the whole thing and pulls out the best 7–9 second clips automatically.
Gemini directs, FFmpeg cuts — done in seconds
Gemini decides what goes where. FFmpeg actually cuts and stitches the video. Hook clip + your demo + text overlay + trending music = a 15-second reel with proper safe-zone positioning. Ready to post.
Post everywhere at once
TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts — upload manually or schedule through Post-Bridge with staggered timing. Each account gets a unique video. No duplicates.
See what hit, make more of it
DansUGC pulls your numbers from TikTok and Instagram. You see which reels popped off and which flopped. Then you tell the agent to make more like the winners. That's the whole loop.
Takes about 2 minutes to set up
Install, connect, add keys. Then just talk to your agent.
