MrBeast has more than 500 people working for him. Imagine if you had five.
Big channels have researchers, clip finders, writers, assistant editors and someone running social. When news breaks, they split the work. On a solo channel every one of those people is you, at 9pm, with forty tabs open.
I built a small team out of agents with Claude Code: a researcher, a producer, an assistant editor and a social manager. I'm still the face and I still get the final say. My videos take about an hour now, where they used to take three to six. This free kit is how you start building yours.
A big channel
500+ people on the payroll
Your channel
5 four agents, and you on camera
The yellow side is the team my channel runs on. I've made 34 videos with it in about five weeks, each taking about an hour of my time instead of three to six. The channel started in September and has 475 subscribers (October 11, 2026), so what I can show you is the hours. I can't promise you growth.
You probably know how this goes
Something breaks late in the day. You were going to switch off, but a video tomorrow is a video nobody needs, so you start opening tabs. An hour later you have forty of them, a downloads folder full of files called clip(3).mp4, and only a rough idea of the story. You write it, record it and drag every clip into Premiere by hand. It goes up after midnight. A channel ten times your size had theirs up at half past ten.
Do that two or three times a week and the channel you started because you loved the topic begins to feel like a shift you can't call in sick for. I got to the point where a notification about a game I really like made my stomach drop.
Big channels get their videos up first because somebody else did the digging before the creator sat down. Once my agents started doing that job for me, I stopped arriving at the camera already worn out. I still pick the story and say it in my own words, and I've started enjoying the channel again.
My evenings in September
My evenings now
How one story moves through the team
- 9:04 pm, news drops
A developer posts patch notes on X, right when you were about to switch off.
- Researcher
It has already read the threads, and it sends you a short list of what people are arguing about, with links and the most-watched clips.
- You pick the story
Usually it's the one you already have an opinion about.
- Producer
It writes the hook and the order of points, with a source next to every claim, and flags anything that has only one source.
- Assistant editor
It turns the outline into a timeline that Premiere opens with the clips already placed and a marker on each section.
- You record and cut
You say it in your own words on your own camera, and you make the edit.
- Social manager
It drafts the X posts and the write-up for your site. You read them before anything goes out.
- Up around ten
That's about an hour after the news on a good night. Some nights it takes longer.
What's in the kit
The team map
One page. Each role on my agent team, what it reads, what it hands to the next one, and the places where I step in and make the call myself. I wish I'd had it before I lost a weekend wiring my agents together in the wrong order.
Starter prompts for three roles
My researcher, who does the morning sweep and finds the clips. My writer/producer, who drafts the outline with a source next to every claim. My assistant editor, who turns the outline into a timeline Premiere can open. Paste them into Claude Code and swap my sources for the ones your audience reads.
The time audit
Fill it in while you make your next video. It takes about five minutes and shows you which job to hire your first agent for.
Then watch me build one live
Sunday, November 15. Free.
I'll take a real news story and go from the first headline to a Premiere timeline in 60 minutes, with the agent team from the kit, while you watch and ask questions. If something breaks, you'll see me fix it.
Everyone who gets the kit gets the invite.
