One phone prompt, fully automated: agent finds video in email, cuts TikTok-ready reels, uploads to YouTube

Creator brandomgalang describes a weekend agent workflow he says beats 99% of the flashy agent demos he has orchestrated: he prompted an agent (which he calls Astra) from his phone to find an applied-AI interview video in his email, cut it into vertical TikTok-compatible reels, and upload them unlisted to YouTube. Minutes later the whole pipeline was done with excellent clips. His takeaway: most people drastically underestimate what agents can already do for real multi-step tasks like content repurposing.
