Building lowkeyviral.com, an AI tool to create viral grid videos for TikTok & Reels

I tried it but I don't think it worked

Thank you! I've tested a few ai video tools, but the grid format gets more views and is cheaper to generate (since it's just a hook and 4 images)

That makes sense, thanks!

thank you!

thank you!

Great list, would love to be in it!

Would love to be included in this one

Seeing this work so well, I knew other indie hackers could use it too. So today, I’m launching lowkeyviral.com! 🚀 Try it out and let me know what you think! 🙌
Since AI photo generation is costly, the free trial uses a lower quality image model (flux-schnell).

The results? Each video now gets thousands of views on both IG Reels and TikTok! 🔥 It takes us less than 5 minutes to schedule 3-4 of these videos every day, and app downloads are WAY up. This simple format turned everything around.

Always looking for an excuse to build instead of doing marketing, I wrote a tool for myself to make videos in this format even faster. From a short prompt it generates a catchy hook + 4 images and turns it into a mp4 ready to post.

So, I gave it a shot. We tried the 4-photo grid format for the first time—and suddenly got decent views! 🎉 Even better? This format took only 10 mins to make, compared to the long hours we’d spent on other videos.

That’s when I noticed a pattern 👀. Successfull indie app builders kept posting with the same style: fading in a 4-photo grid and a catchy hook. Their posts were getting massive views.

At first, we posted on Reels and TikTok, but nothing took off. The content looked good, but the views just weren’t there. So, I started digging into what successful app builders were doing differently.
