This template watches your YouTube channel for a new video, reads the captions, and asks ChatGPT for a short-form script, title, and description.
JavaScript turns that script into a vertical-video prompt. Sora renders the moving clip, YouTube uploads it with the ChatGPT metadata, and Google Sheets logs the row. Connect YouTube and Google Sheets. ChatGPT and Sora are Latenode AI nodes. ChatGPT writes the words; Sora renders the video.
Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
