Why 95% Fail with Claude AI
44sHigh relatability and controversy around common AI mistakes that most beginners make.
▶ Play ClipThis video presents a two-step system for using Claude AI to automate the creation of viral TikTok content. The creator, Dennis Sanko, explains how to train Claude by connecting it to external data sources, specifically the Verlo API, which tracks trending short-form videos across platforms. The system also involves feeding Claude personal context to ensure scripts match the user's style and brand.
95% of users get poor results from Claude because they prompt it without providing context about their industry, brand, or style. Simply asking for a viral script fails because Claude lacks the necessary background.
MCP allows you to add external data sources to Claude, training the AI model with real-world trending data. The Verlo API is used to track millions of short-form videos across Instagram Reels, Meta Ads, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, identifying outlier viral content.
Sign up for Verlo (starting at $5), generate an API key, and obtain the MCP link. In Claude, go to settings, connectors, paste the MCP link, and enter the API key. This connects Verlo's trending data to Claude.
A skill file is a set of instructions (like an SOP) that teaches Claude how to create viral TikTok scripts using Verlo's API. It provides step-by-step guidance for the AI.
To make scripts sound authentic, you must train Claude on your personal style, tone, achievements, and brand. The creator asked Claude to generate a context overview of himself and pasted it into a new chat window.
With both trending data and personal context loaded, you can ask Claude to generate scripts. Example prompt: 'Generate five TikTok scripts for my account based on what's going viral in the make money online niche, using my personal style to build authority and get clients.'
Use Postly to auto-schedule content across social media. Connect Postly's MCP link to Claude, then ask Claude to schedule posts on specific days. This creates a fully automated content marketing system.
By combining Verlo's trending data with personal context via MCP, Claude can generate highly relevant, viral-worthy TikTok scripts. The bonus step of using Postly for auto-scheduling completes an end-to-end automation system for social media content.
"The title accurately promises a Claude AI system for viral TikTok videos, and the video delivers a clear two-step process with a bonus automation tip."

[01:14] that means model context protocol. It enables you to add external data sources to Claude to train the AI model. So, this is where the Verlo API comes in. Verlo tracks millions of short-form videos across Instagram Reels, Meta Ads,
[01:28] TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. It analyzes these millions of videos, groups them by industry, and then pulls out the outlier videos that are getting the most take that data from millions of analyzed videos and just plug it directly into
