Bakene Content Factory

Bakene Content Factory is an automated publishing system that produces and schedules short-form vertical video content — Quranic recitations with rendered captions, daily reminders, narrated short stories, and long-form recaps — and publishes it to TikTok and YouTube through each platform's official API.

It is built and operated by a single independent developer as a personal content-production system, not a public product: there are no user accounts, no sign-ups, and nothing on this site collects information from visitors.

How it works

1. Source

Quranic text and translations come from the alquran.cloud API; recitation audio from cdn.islamic.network; background footage from Pexels. Story and humor scripts are AI-assisted original text.

2. Assemble

Captions and layout are rendered with Pillow, then combined with audio and encoded to a 1080×1920 video with FFmpeg — fully automated, no manual editing per video.

3. Review

Finished videos are queued for the operator to confirm before anything goes live — the TikTok side in particular runs through the Content Posting API's inbox/draft flow, requiring a final tap in the TikTok app itself.

4. Publish

Approved videos are posted to TikTok and YouTube using each platform's official API, on a fixed daily schedule, to the operator's own accounts only.

Technology & sources

Everything this Service publishes is traceable to a named, public source or API — there is no scraping of other creators' content and no undisclosed data collection:

Content: alquran.cloud (Quranic text & translations), cdn.islamic.network (recitation audio), Pexels (stock footage, free license).
Rendering: Python, Pillow (image/caption rendering), FFmpeg (video encoding).
Distribution: TikTok Content Posting API, YouTube Data API v3 — both official, first-party publishing APIs.

Operator

Bakene Content Factory is built and run by Babacar Gueye — bakene.tech.
