Agent Mode
Agent Mode is Subscribr's fully automated script generation pipeline. Instead of working through the Canvas step by step, you hand your idea to an AI agent and it researches, outlines, writes, and quality-checks your script for you.
Best For
Agent Mode works well when you have a clear topic and want a complete first draft quickly. If you prefer hands-on control at each stage, the standard Canvas workflow gives you more creative input along the way.
How It Works
When you launch Agent Mode from the Canvas, the agent runs through a series of steps automatically:
- Research -- The agent gathers relevant information on your topic using web search and any context you provided.
- Outline -- It builds a structured outline based on the research, your channel voice profile, and your audience.
- Script writing -- The outline is expanded into a full script, applying your voice and style preferences.
- Quality checks -- The agent runs retention optimization, humanization, and repetition cleanup passes.
- Voiceover preparation -- The script is adapted for spoken delivery.
The entire process runs in the background. You can close the tab and come back later -- Subscribr will notify you by email when the script is ready.
How Long Does It Take?
A typical Agent Mode run takes 5 to 15 minutes depending on the length and complexity of your topic. You can watch the progress bar in real time or leave and return once you receive the completion notification.
Credits
Agent Mode uses credits from your plan. The first run for a script is charged normally. If the agent encounters an issue and needs to retry, retries on the same script are free so you are never charged twice for the same work.
Reviewing the Output
When the agent finishes, your script appears in the Script tab of the Canvas. From there you can:
- Read through the full script and make direct edits.
- Use highlight-and-improve to refine specific sections.
- Run a Humanize pass for additional tone polish.
- Continue chatting in the left panel to request targeted changes.
The agent also generates an outline you can review under the Plan tab.
Video Production Pipeline
After the script is complete, Subscribr can continue with automated video production:
- Voiceover -- An AI voiceover is generated from the finished script using your selected voice.
- Avatar video -- A presenter avatar is created to deliver the voiceover on camera.
- Shot list and rendering -- The system plans visual scenes and renders a complete video.
These steps are optional and happen automatically when enabled for your channel. You can track their progress in the same progress panel that shows the script generation steps.
Canceling a Run
If you need to stop an in-progress Agent Mode run, open the Canvas and click the Cancel button in the progress panel. Canceling is immediate and no additional credits are charged for the canceled run.
Tips for Better Results
Set up your voice profile first. The agent uses your channel voice profile and audience settings to shape the script. Channels with detailed profiles produce noticeably better output.
Add research context. Before launching Agent Mode, attach relevant YouTube videos, articles, or documents using the Add Context feature. The agent uses this material during the research phase.
Review and refine. Agent Mode produces a strong first draft, but the best scripts come from editing the output with your own expertise. Use the Canvas editing tools to add personal stories, adjust pacing, and tighten the language.
