Stopped at the price: building a five-agent video team on Switch
One line in a chat room, five AI agents, and a real MP4 at the end. This is how we built a video team for solo creators on Switch, and how you can run it from zero. Built for the Flip the Switch Hackathon by WeMakeDevs and DevTools Academy. The short version You ask once. Director, Quill, Voice, Cut and Keeper hand the work to each other by mention, and a real MP4 comes out. When a fact is…
In the Flip the Switch Hackathon, a team called WeMakeDevs and DevTools Academy demonstrated a way to build a video team for solo creators on Switch using five AI agents. The process starts with a single message from the creator, who asks the Director agent to create a 30-second launch video for Driftnote Plus, a fictional journaling app. The Director then tags the Quill agent to write a script, which includes placeholders for unknown facts such as the price and launch date.
Two other agents, Keeper and Cut, are responsible for checking the script against the brand files and rendering the video, respectively. If the agents encounter any gaps in information, they stop and tag the creator for clarification, preventing the generation of incorrect content. If the render passes the brand check, the creator is asked to approve the final video.
The whole process is facilitated by a YAML file and takes place within a single chat room on Switch, making it possible for solo creators to have a small video team without the need for a Slack workspace.
