NordIQ / Loki Studio
Loki Studio started as Python scripts on my desktop. It became a product because the problem I had is the problem every batch creator has.
I didn't set out to build a product.
I just wanted to stop losing my work.
For years, I recorded hundreds of hours of YouTube content. Gameplays, commentary, tutorials. Most of it never saw the light of day. It sat buried in folders until I eventually deleted it. Not because it was bad, but because the work after recording felt impossible.
I loved creating.
I hated everything that came after.
Transcribing. Writing descriptions. Making thumbnails. Scheduling uploads. The repetitive grind that every creator knows. That grind made me inconsistent, and inconsistency killed my growth. For fifteen years on YouTube, I was stuck in the same loop: record a burst of videos, get overwhelmed by the post-production, disappear for months, come back, start over.
I wasn't failing at creating. I was failing at the tedious crap that came after.
Started small. A Python script to transcribe my videos. Then a formatter to turn transcripts into descriptions and titles. Then a thumbnail generator because juggling Photoshop templates made me want to quit YouTube entirely.
Then I automated the uploads. Then I built a dashboard. And just like that, my entire backlog (hundreds of videos) was processed, organized, and scheduled. For the first time in fifteen years, I had content queued months ahead.
If no one's going to make this easier for us, I will. That's how Loki Studio was born. One tool that handles everything between "I'm done recording" and "it's live on YouTube."

Loki is the Norse trickster god known for cleverly solving problems, often in unconventional ways. But there's a deeper meaning here: it's a play on words.
This project started "low-key". Just a few scripts to solve a personal problem. Then it grew into something much bigger. From humble beginnings to a full-blown content automation studio.
Low-key powerful. That's the Loki way.
