Getting started

From signup to your first text reel in under 10 minutes.

Aedison turns half-formed ideas into platform-ready content: scripts, carousels, and short text-overlay reels. This page is the 10-minute tour.

1. Generate ideas

On the dashboard, type any topic, angle, or half-formed thought in the input — anything from "specialty coffee" to "burnt-out dads making money online". Pick 5 or 10 ideas; each one is grounded in real Reddit signal and includes the source link.

5 ideas = 25 credits. 10 ideas = 50 credits.

2. Pick an idea, pick a format

Every idea shows the formats it works in:

  • Script — short-form vertical video script with hook, body, CTA, on-screen text suggestions, and a target duration.
  • Carousel — 5-10 image slides with AI-generated backgrounds plus overlay text.
  • Text reel — a 7-second video template with a hook burned on-screen + a long-form caption.

Each artefact is editable after generation — change copy, swap fonts, regenerate just one slide.

3. Render and ship

Carousels and text reels render server-side and land in your library, ready to download or open in the platform of your choice.

That's the whole loop. See Credits & plans for what each action costs, or Troubleshooting if something gets stuck.
