The problem it solves

Creating new product visuals for every campaign, season, or use-case means either hiring a designer or spending hours in editing software. You need fresh, contextual images regularly, but manual design work doesn't scale when you're producing content at volume.

Who it fits

E-commerce businesses and social media teams who need contextual product visuals without manual design work.

How it works

  1. You enter a prompt, image, and desired format into a Google Sheet
  2. The system picks up rows waiting to be processed
  3. AI generates a new contextualized image based on the prompt
  4. The finished image is saved to Google Drive
  5. The spreadsheet is updated with a link to the result
What you get

Product images ready to post without a shoot

You get fresh product images generated from a simple prompt, ready to drop into your marketing materials.

What you get

New AI-generated product images saved to Drive, with links tracked in a spreadsheet.

What you need

A Google account for Sheets and Drive, and a fal.ai API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
