Never idle or static.\nCamera terms are allowed (e.g. macro view, top-down shot, slow-motion).\n\nEach scene must contain all of the following, expressed through detailed visual language:\n\n\u2705 The kinetic sand (from the Idea)\n\u2705 The environment or surface (from the Environment)\n\u2705 The texture, structure, and behavior of the sand as it's being manipulated\n\u2705 A visible tool (knife, scoop, mold) actively interacting with the sand\n\nDescriptions should show:\n\nThe physical makeup of the sand \u2014 is it layered with different colors, sparkly, smooth, or matte? Emphasize its granular, yet cohesive structure.\nHow the sand responds to the tool \u2014 clean slicing, soft crumbling, perfect imprints, satisfying deformation, or a cascading collapse.\nThe interaction between the tool and the sand \u2014 sand grains momentarily sticking to the tool, the smooth surface left behind, the crisp edges of a cut.\nAny ASMR-relevant sensory cues like the satisfying crunch, the soft hiss of falling grains, or the shimmer of glitter, but always shown visually \u2014 not narrated.\n\nTone:\n\nSatisfying, mesmerizing, tactile.\nNo poetic metaphors, emotion, or storytelling.\nAvoid fantasy or surreal imagery.\nAll description must feel physically grounded and visually appealing.\n\nLength:\n\nEach scene must be between 1,000 and 2,000 characters.\nNo shallow or repetitive scenes \u2014 each must be immersive, descriptive, and specific.\nEach scene should explore a distinct phase of the action, a different camera perspective, or a new behavior of the sand.\n\nInputs:\n\nIdea: \"{{ $json.idea }}\"\nEnvironment: \"{{ $json.environment_prompt }}\"\nSound: \"{{ $json.sound_prompt }}\"\n\nFormat:\n\nIdea: \"...\"\nEnvironment: \"...\"\nSound: \"...\"\n\nScene 1: \"...\"\nScene 2: \"...\"\nScene 3: \"...\"\n(and so on)"

        "content": "//ASMR AI Workflow By Bilsimaging.com\n### How It Works\n\nThis workflow is a fully autonomous content factory that creates and publishes satisfying ASMR-style YouTube Shorts without any human intervention. It's a powerful example of chaining multiple AI services together to generate unique media.\n\nThe process runs in four main stages:\n\n1.  **AI Ideation:** A schedule trigger kicks off the workflow. The first AI agent brainstorms a simple, trendy ASMR concept. A second agent then enriches this concept into a detailed JSON production plan, including a viral-style caption, environment description, and sound profile.\n\n2.  **Asset Generation:** The workflow generates detailed scene-by-scene prompts. It then calls the ByteDance Seedance API (via Wavespeed) to create the video clips and the Fal AI API to generate corresponding sound effects.\n\n3.  **Final Assembly:** The clips are sequenced into a final video. \n\n4.  **Distribution & Logging:** The final video is downloaded, uploaded to a designated YouTube channel, the original row in a Google Sheet is updated with the new YouTube link and a \"Done\" status, and notifications are sent via Telegram and Gmail.\n\n### Set Up Steps\n\nThis is an advanced workflow that requires several credentials. \n\nYou will need to create credentials for the following services:\n\n*   **OpenAI:** For the AI agents.\n*   **Wavespeed AI:** For the Seedance video model.\n*   **Fal AI:** For sound generation and video sequencing.\n*   **Google OAuth:** For both the Google Sheets and YouTube nodes. You will need to enable the Google Sheets API and YouTube Data API v3 in your Google Cloud project.\n*   **Telegram Bot:** For the final notification.\n*   **Gmail (Optional):** If you want email notifications.\n\nYou will also need to create a **Google Sheet** to log the ideas and final outputs. A template can be easily created with columns for `id`, `idea`, `caption`, `production_status`, `environment_prompt`, `sound_prompt`, `final_output`, and `youtube_url`.\n\n### Features\n\n*   **Fully Autonomous Content Creation:** Runs on a schedule to generate and publish content without any manual input.\n*   **Two-Stage AI Ideation:** Uses a \"creative\" AI and a \"planning\" AI to produce more dynamic and well-structured ideas.\n*   **Multi-Modal AI:** Chains together text-to-text, text-to-video, and text-to-audio models in a single, cohesive flow.\n*   **Closed-Loop System:** Logs the initial idea to a Google Sheet and updates the *same row* with the final links and status, creating a perfect production log.\n*   **Spreadsheet as a CMS:** Manage your entire content pipeline from a simple Google Sheet.\n*   **Real-time Notifications:** Get immediate alerts on Telegram or Gmail as soon as a new video is live.\n\n### Pro-Tips & How to Handle APIs\n\n*   **API Rate Limits:** If you run the workflow very frequently, some APIs might temporarily block you. To avoid this, you can adjust the **Schedule Trigger** to run less often (e.g., every 30 minutes instead of every 10). For more advanced control, you can add a `batchInterval` in the settings of the HTTP Request nodes.\n\n\n*   **Cost Management:** Remember that AI API calls cost money. It is highly recommended to set up **budget alerts** in your OpenAI, Fal AI, and Wavespeed AI account dashboards to avoid any surprise bills.\n\n*   **Customization:** The creative core of this workflow is in the **Prompts AI Agent** and **Enrich Idea into Plan** nodes. To change the style, tone, or type of videos created, simply edit the `systemMessage` in the options of these nodes.\n\nFor any help or tips on handling the APIs, don't hesitate to contact me at **bilsimaging@gmail.com**."
