# MRKT DEPT

> MRKT DEPT is an AI social media department for small businesses and app founders: it researches your niche, writes problem-first scripts, makes UGC-style short videos with an AI spokesperson, and posts them to TikTok and Instagram after you approve each one. Plans start at $79 a month, and the first video is free.

MRKT DEPT is built for founders and small teams who need to post consistently but do not have time to film, edit and schedule. You start in web chat at https://mrktdept.com/chat, answer a few questions about your business, and get a free sample video. You review each post before it goes out.
