Solo builder
Billy is a solo builder in Hong Kong, building 4reelz in public.

The demo is live and uses pre-processed videos. Beta access is a waitlist, manual approval, and an email magic link after Discord verification; the beta room is small and invite-only.

Principles
Evidence over hype
Briefs carry ratings and source links. The goal is an account's value in minutes instead of scrolling for hours.
Public data only
4reelz works from public Instagram reels, TikTok videos, and YouTube Shorts.
Make it portable
Every brief can be copied to Markdown for your own AI tools and agents.
Small on purpose
The beta room is small and invite-only — first 10 this round, more batches weekly.
