Faceless AI YouTube channels have been booming for the last 3 years. The reason being? It’s easy to create a lot of engaging content in a few minutes.

Those who took the first steps are now bringing crazy traffic and revenue.

Perhaps, you want to join the AI creator community too.

Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with these 49+ faceless AI YouTube ideas to help you get started.

Educational & Informative

#1 - AI-Powered Explainer Videos

Explainer videos are perfect if you want to go with topics like technology, finance, or health. Within minutes, you can create professional visuals and voiceovers.

Let’s suppose, you break down how blockchain works, share the benefits of long-term investment, or even give tips to live a healthy lifestyle.

Something like this:

#2 -Animated History Lessons

Create animated videos about historical events, famous personalities, or different cultures that have ever existed.

Think about videos like “5-Minute World Wars Recap” or “How the Taj Mahal Was Built.”

One thing I’d suggest here is to make short videos. After all, there are very few people who can watch history lessons without yawning.

This could be a great inspiration for you:

I know it's not a short, but you can make a video like this in one go and break it into various parts.

#3 - Quick Science Facts

You can make a video explaining why we sneeze or the big bang theory. Unlike history, you can keep these videos longer.

Once people are hooked, they watch till the end. As long as it's simply explained, people enjoy science.

You might not believe this, but sci-fi creators have gone way beyond their abilities with AI, just check this out:

#4 - How-To Tutorials

AI-generated how-to videos are a perfect way to teach various skills.

You can create step-by-step guides on topics like “YouTube Automation” or “Capcut Editing”

The best part? You can generate visuals, voiceovers, and even subtitles in one place using AI tools like Invideo, Fliki, SimilarVideo, etc.

When it comes to How-To tutorials, I've never seen a guy like this:

#5 - Language Learning

Language learning channels are in high demand, and AI can help you create engaging content. Focus on teaching vocabulary, grammar rules, or even conversational phrases in different languages.

For example, you can make a series on “10 Common English Idioms” or “Basic Spanish Words for Beginners.”

AI-generated visuals and text can make the learning process easier.

This is of course not the best example, but you can definitely create something better than this:

Motivational & Inspirational

#6 - Daily Inspirational Quotes

How about a calming video with an inspiring quote and serene music in the background?

AI tools can convert text-based quotes into stunning videos using animations and royalty-free music.

A quote like “the best way to predict the future is to create it” along with a sunrise can help viewers start their day on a positive note.

These days Confucius quotes are quite trending. I'm not saying you should create the exact same thing.

However, you can take an idea from this and come up with something of your own:

#7 - Success Stories

Everyone loves a good success story. Therefore, you can create engaging biographies of famous figures like Elon Musk, APJ Abdul Kalam, or Oprah Winfrey.

Share their struggles, turning points, and achievements in a way that’s easy to follow.

Or perhaps, you can interview those who are just about to get famous or just got famous. If they blow up, you’ll also get the hype.

Why don't you try something like this?

#8 - Positive Affirmations

Positive affirmation videos can be a game-changer for people looking to boost their confidence or reduce stress. And guess what? These work great on Instagram. This is the type of video people like to share with each other.

Usually, people put such videos on their WhatsApp status:

#9 - Productivity Hacks

Everybody wants to do 10 hours of work in 2 hours. So why don’t you create a bunch of visuals based on different psychological phenomena or productivity hacks.

For example, a video titled “Feyman Technique: The Fastest Way to Learn” could show practical hacks that viewers can apply immediately.

#10 - Mindset Shifts

Mindset is everything, and you can use AI to create thought-provoking videos that help people change their perspectives for good.

Share advice on topics like overcoming failure, dealing with criticism, or gratitude.

A video like “Problems in Life” can resonate with those viewers who are looking to make meaningful changes in their lives.

This is what I'm talking about:

Lifestyle & Wellness

#11 - AI-Generated Sounds & Visuals for Relaxation

Meditation and ASMR channels are trending, and AI makes it easier to create soothing content.

Generate calming sounds like rain, ocean waves, or gentle wind, paired with serene visuals of nature. For this, you can use Soundraw, AIVA, Noiiz, etc.

I don't know if this video is generated by AI, but it pretty much seems like it is. Even if it's not AI, it's still possible to come up with something like this:

#12 - Sleep Aid Videos

Sleep aid videos are lifesavers for people struggling with insomnia.

Use AI to create white noise, soft instrumental music, or ambient sounds like a crackling fireplace.

Combine these sounds with slow, calming visuals like stars twinkling or a glowing moon.

Videos like “Rain Sounds for Relaxing” can be incredibly popular for their ability to help viewers relax and fall asleep faster.

Again, you can use Soundraw, AIVA, Noiiz, and other similar apps for this.

#13 - Fitness Tips

With AI, you can create quick workout routines for beginners or busy professionals.

For instance, create a “30 Minute No Equipment Workout” or “Morning Yoga for Energy.”

Add visual guides or animations to make the exercises easy to follow.

These simple, actionable videos can inspire viewers to make fitness a part of their lives.

#14 - Healthy Eating Ideas

Healthy eating videos always go viral. You can showcase simple recipes like “3 Healthy Breakfast Ideas” or “Quick Lunch Bowls Under 15 Minutes.”

Have clear instructions with animations or clips of ingredients being prepared. The focus should be on easy, accessible recipes that anyone can try at home.

For inspiration, take a look at this one:

#15 - Wellness Myths Busted

On the internet, you’ll find more lies than the truth. Use AI to research and create animations debunking myths.

For example, you may have heard that drinking celery juice every morning will detox your liver. But that’s not how it is, science shows the liver detoxifies itself naturally, and no drink can make this process faster.

This channel is a great example of this:

Tech & Reviews

#16 - Tech Reviews

Tech reviews are everywhere - YouTube, Instagram, TikTok.

With the help of AI tools, you can talk about features, pros, and cons of smartphones, laptops, or smart home devices. Not only that, you can also create comparisons.

For example, a video titled “Is the New iPhone 15 Worth It?” This can include AI-generated comparisons and voiceovers.

Keep it honest and concise to build trust with your audience.

#17 - App Tutorials

Apps have become a huge part of our lives. In fact, I myself can’t live without apps like Notion, TickTick, Cashew, Timelybills, etc.

These days I'm seeing a lot of editing tutorials are going viral.

Just look at this one:

#18 - AI Explainers

I recently came across a guy who was teaching how to make 1000 monetizeable videos within 10 minutes.

Look, this is the one:

That’s something many people are eager to learn. That’s not it, AI will keep surprising you in the future.

So, there’s a lot of scope for you to create videos like this. Just discover first and then teach.

#19 - Top 5/10 Gadgets

Listicle videos go viral, especially when it’s about the latest gadgets.

Use stock footage, screenshots, or AI-generated visuals to showcase gadgets like “Top 5 Smartwatches for Fitness” or “10 Coolest Tech Gadgets Under $100” in one place.

Cherry on top? Add your own music to make videos outstanding.

For instance, this cool Amazon tech gadgets shorts perfectly explains what I'm talking about:

Finance & Business

#20 - Saving, Budgeting, or Investing Advice

Personal finance is a hot topic, and AI can help you create clear and actionable videos.

Share tips like “How to Save 20% of Your Income” or “Beginner’s Guide to Budgeting in Your Smartphone”

AI can generate easy-to-understand graphs, visualizations, and texts to simplify complex ideas.

You think it's not easy to achieve this? How about you create videos using Videoscribe, generate your script using ChatGPT, and put Elevenlabs to work for voiceovers.

Look at this video:

Don't you think we can get similar results?

#21 - Stock Market News

Stock market updates don’t have to be boring. You can use ElevenLabs to turn your researched text into audio.

With this, you can summarize the latest trends and explain them in simple terms.

Videos like “Why the Market Dropped 2% Today” or “Top 3 Stocks to Watch This Week” can keep your audience informed and hooked.

#22 - Startup Stories

Successful entrepreneurs always inspire curiosity. Use AI to compile the journeys of startup founders like Dan Koe, Pat Flynn, Alex Hormonzi, etc.

You can share their struggles, strategies, and breakthroughs in a storytelling format.

For example, a video titled “Why Kortex is considered a baby of Notion and Obsidian” can spark curiosity.

While this might not be something closely related to what I just say, but it can give you an idea about how you can make your own startup stories:

#23 - Side Hustle Ideas

Side hustle and passive income are two words that people are crazy about.

Everyone loves to find new ways to earn extra income.

You can use AI to create videos like “Top 3 AI tools for side hustle” or “Low-Cost Online Businesses for Beginners.”

Travel & Adventure

#24 - Virtual Tours

Take your viewers on a journey without taking them on a trip.

You can use stock footage to create immersive videos exploring popular cities like Paris, Tokyo, or Istanbul.

Either you can use AI to mix stock images or create cartoon-like images to talk about various cities.

For example, “A Virtual Tour of Paris: Landmarks, Food, and Culture” can include stunning visuals of the Eiffel Tower, local cuisine, and vibrant streets.

These videos are perfect for travel enthusiasts who want a taste of the world.

If done right, something like this can definitely help you gain a lot of views on YouTube:

#25 - Best Travel Destinations

Help your audience plan their dream trips by showcasing top travel destinations.

With AI, you can research a lot of travel destinations. And then, you can compile stunning footage.

An idea like this might help:

#26 - Hidden Gems Around the World

Everyone loves discovering unique, lesser-known travel spots.

AI can help you curate videos about hidden gems like small towns, scenic trails, or underrated beaches.

A video titled “Hidden Gems in India You Must Visit” could feature places like Hampi, Gokarna, or Spiti Valley.

I'd say nothing could be a better explanation than this one. If they would've added a voiceover, this would have been even much better.

This type of content feels personal and offers something different from average travel guides.

#27- Cultural Stuff

Travel isn’t just about places, it’s about experiences. Create videos highlighting traditions, festivals, and cultural events around the world.

“Exploring India’s Festival of Lights: Diwali” or “The Cherry Blossom Season in Japan” can help people explore the beauty of different cultures.

With AI, create stunning visuals of ceremonies, dances, or local food to make the videos more engaging.

As you can see here, this guy managed to show what Diwali means to Indians using AI:

#28 - Budget Travel Tips

Create videos with AI-generated visuals and talk about affordable travel hacks.

This includes topics like “How to Travel Europe on a Budget” or “5 Tricks to Find Cheap Flights.”

Include practical advice like using travel apps, booking during off-seasons, or finding budget-friendly accommodations.

Look, such videos work best for viewers who dream of traveling but don't have much budget:

Entertainment

#29 - Movie Reviews & Analysis

Movie reviews are always in demand, and AI can make it easier than ever to create such content.

Just give ChatGPT the plot, acting, and the entire storyline in brief and ask it to create scripts like “John Wicks: The High Table Explained” or “Hidden Meanings in Oldboy”

In addition to this, you can use AI to come up with a video. For something like this, I’d suggest taking clips from the original movie.

But yes, don’t use a clip that’s longer than 5 seconds to avoid copyright issues.

#30 - Top 10 Music Charts

Keep your audience updated on the hottest tracks with a weekly music chart. Use AI to curate trending songs from platforms like Spotify, Billboard, or YouTube.

A video titled “Top 10 Songs This Week” could include snippets of the tracks, along with AI-generated text or voiceovers summarizing why they’re trending.

It’s perfect for music lovers who want to stay in the loop.

When you do this correctly, artists will pay you to have their songs in your playlist.

#31 - Gaming Tutorials

Gaming tutorials are favorite among gamers. You can create walkthroughs and strategies for popular games like Fortnite, Minecraft, or Call of Duty.

I’d suggest you play while recording your screen and include AI-generated tips on your screen to make it more engaging.

More importantly, AI tools like Opusclips can help you turn your long-form videos into short clips for YouTube Shorts and Instagram.

While the voiceover of this video is done by a human being, you can try ElevenLabs to use your text as voiceovers for your gameplays:

#32 - AI-Generated Comedy Skits

Comedy skits can be a unique and fun addition to your channel. Use AI to create short, witty scripts, and animated characters.

No, my idea isn't unique. Three years ago, Netflix released a video named "The First Stand-Up Comedy Written Entirely by Bots."

So far, this video has gained over 3 million views on YouTube.

Initially, it might take time to come up with your own ideas. But once things are in motion, your characters may gain a lot of reputation on YouTube.

Besides, you can also create such videos. Although this one's weird but it's easy to make it. On top of that, they got 313K likes as well.

#33 - Book Summaries

Summarizing books is a fantastic way to attract an intellectual audience.

AI can help you summarize popular reads like self-help books, novels, or biographies.

A video like “The Psychology of Money” could highlight the book’s key lessons with AI-generated visuals.

News & Current Events

Just head over to Google, search trending topics across categories like technology, politics, entertainment, or health.

Once you get a list, copy and paste everything and notepad and ask ChatGPT to write a script for you.

With that script, you can come up with original YouTube videos. Trust me, this works great because everyone’s searching for these types of videos. So, you have higher chances of getting views early in the process.

#35 - Celebrity Gossip

Every third person you know talks about celebrities. Ask ChatGPT anything, it will update you about latest relationships, movie launches, or red-carpet moments.

A video like “What Happened Between Jay Z & Rapper Liv?” with amazing voiceovers can help you grab a lot of attention.

#36 - Sports Highlights

When I was a kid, I used to think nobody’s interested in highlights. But as I grew up, I learnt that people love to relive the moments.

How about you ask ChatGPT to summarize games, create highlight shorts, and key moments in sports like UFC, football, basketball, etc.

#37 - Tech Trends

Tech enthusiasts love to keep themselves updated with the latest technology trends.

AI can help you explain the launch of a new gadget, a new AI tool, or a significant tech acquisition.

A video titled “Tencent Just Launched Hunyuan Video” can help you spark discussions in the tech community.

#38 - Global Affairs

When it comes to providing global news, AI can help you gather data faster.

Focus on topics like climate change, geopolitical issues, or economic trends.

For example, a video like “5 Things You Need to Know About the Global Economy This Week” can break down complex news into simple, consumable content.

These videos are great for viewers who are seeking clarity and don’t want to dig deer.

Hobbies & Crafts

#39 - DIY Crafts

DIY projects are perfect for creative enthusiasts. With AI, you can create step-by-step guides to help people build their favorite projects easily.

From homemade candles to upcycled furniture - you can help with a lot of things.

A video titled “DIY Doll House for Your Baby” or “DIY Your Own Bed in a Single Day” can bring a lot of views on YouTube.

#40 - Gardening Tips

Gardening is a growing hobby, and AI can help you create engaging content with tips for beginners.

Use stock footage of plants, flowers, or garden setups with ElevenLabs to produce videos like “How to Grow Tomatoes in Pots” or “Best Gardening Tips and Tricks.”

Here's an inspiration for you:

#41 - Photography Tutorials

Photography is an art that never goes out of style. Use AI to create videos teaching tricks such as capturing the golden hour, framing shots, or editing photos.

A video titled “5 Tips to Take Stunning Photos with Your Smartphone” can include AI-generated examples and clear voiceovers, making it useful for both amateurs and pro photographers.

#42 - Cooking & Recipes

Cooking videos are always popular, and AI can make them even more efficient. Share easy-to-follow recipes like “3 Quick Breakfast Ideas” or “Healthy Dinners in 30 Minutes” using ChatGPT.

Combine visuals of ingredients and finished dishes with tips to make the process easier.

You think it's impossible to create something like this? How about we take a look at this video?

#43 - Pet Care Advice

Pet owners are always looking for tips to make sure their pets are safe.

AI can help you create content on topics like “5 Common Dog Training Mistakes” or “7 Important Animal Care Tips."

No matter what kind of pet you want to talk about, just ask ChatGPT and you’ll get many ideas that you can cover for your videos.

Creative & Artistic

#44 - Teach Drawing or Editing with AI Tools

Digital art is a fascinating niche, and AI can make it accessible to everyone.

Create tutorials on drawing or photo editing using AI tools like Procreate, Photoshop, or Canva.

A video titled “How to Create Stunning AI-Generated Art in 5 Minutes” can include screen recordings explaining the steps.

The best part? You can even start your own patreon with private videos to earn more money.

Let me share a crazy video with you that can help you get the hang of it:

#45 - Story Writing Prompts

We all writers face writer’s block at some point. There are chances you couldn’t even start your story. Or maybe, you have an incomplete story which doesn’t seem to end well.

Just type whatever you know into ChatGPT, and let it craft a story for your video. If the story you get from GPT doesn’t seem like your style, ask the AI for multiple versions. This way you can get something that fits your style.

You may not know this, but many crimes related story channels on YouTube are already doing this.

Here's an example for you:

#46 - Poetry Narration

Bring classic and original poetry to life with AI and engaging visuals.

Share poems by famous writers like Rumi or your own creations using AI voiceovers and video makers.

This video might help you:

#47 - Recreate Your Favorite Songs with a Different Voice

Have you ever heard “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran? What if you hear a member of BTS singing it? Yes, it's possible!

Just hear it out:

Using AI tools such as VoiceDub, Vocalize, and Jammable, you can create songs with different artists' vocals on it. That's so good, isn’t it?

#48 - Interior Design Tips

On YouTube, many people love to watch makeover videos. Why don’t you create interior design videos of old homes to show them before and after?

As far as I know, Spacely, RoomGPT, AI Room Planner, Remodeled, and Reimagine Home are some of the coolest AI tools for this.

This video can be a good inspiration to begin with:

Talk About AI & Making Money Online

#49 - Freelancing Tips

From LinkedIn to Upwork - there’s a lot you can talk about in your video when it comes to freelancing.

What’s really fascinating is - you can ask ChatGPT about simple pitches for prospects, profile bio, portfolio management tips, and much more.

Apart from that, you can post the latest jobs using AI to help freelancers out.

#50- Content Creation Monetization

Creating viral content isn’t easy but monetization is just something many creators struggle with.

You can show creators how to make money through content creation on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, or blogging.

Use AI to explain strategies like ad revenue, sponsorships, and selling courses.

#51 - Talk About AI

There’s an AI for everything. New creators are aware of it, and they constantly remind people that this new AI tool can help them do their tasks faster.

Probably, that’s why I’ve seen many YouTube channels where creators talk about the latest AI tools, what the future of AI will be like, and how you can make money with it.

So if nothing seems interesting to you, talking about AI all the time is the path you can’t ignore. This industry will keep growing.

Just take a look at this video, this guy has the entire channel named "How to AI." Looks like he was one of the first creators who figured this out, no?

The Bottom Line!
