🚀 GPT-5 + Veo-3 Instagram Reel Auto-Creator & Auto-Poster

Description: This n8n workflow is a fully automated short-form video content engine that takes your creative idea, turns it into a cinematic video using Google Veo-3 via Wavespeed API, writes an engaging Instagram caption with GPT-5, and instantly posts it to Instagram via Postiz—all without lifting a finger.

It’s designed for content creators, social media managers, and brands who want to produce high-quality, on-brand reels at scale without manual editing or posting.
