Welcome to Sphot
Sphot is an autonomous Instagram Reels production system. Upload footage to Google Drive, and Sphot handles everything — script writing, editing, motion graphics, music, and publishing.
Prerequisites
Before you start, make sure you have:
- An Instagram Business or Creator account
- A Google account with Google Drive
- Video footage (any format, 1080p+ recommended)
Quick Start
1. Create Your Account
Sign up at sphot.one/login using Google or Instagram OAuth, or create an account with email and password.
2. Connect Instagram
Go to Settings > Connections and click "Connect Instagram." You'll be redirected to Instagram to authorize Sphot to publish on your behalf.
3. Connect Google Drive
In the same Settings page, click "Connect Google Drive." Select the folder where you'll upload raw footage.
4. Upload Footage
Drop your video files into the connected Google Drive folder. Sphot watches the folder automatically and picks up new files within minutes.
5. Watch the Magic
Head to your Dashboard to see production runs in progress. Each Reel goes through analysis, scripting, editing, music selection, and quality control.
6. Review & Publish
By default, Sphot shows you a preview before publishing. Review the Reel in the dashboard and click "Approve" to publish, or enable auto-publish in Settings for zero-touch mode.
