Rantbytes was a daily TikTok satire series I helped manage, built around synthetic characters and Gen Alpha meme logic. The videos moved quickly: abrasive jokes, compressed references, recurring personalities, and punchlines designed to survive the scroll.

I developed the AI content pipeline and oversaw daily production across image, video, voice, music, and writing models. Generating material was the easy part. The harder job was keeping the voice and cadence sharp enough that the videos felt native to TikTok instead of arriving as another AI novelty.

The series passed 20 million views, 40,000 followers, and one million shares. For the audience, the character and the joke mattered more than an explanation of the workflow.
