The problem it solves

Turning a product photo into a video ad usually means hiring a video editor or learning motion design tools yourself. For a quick product promo, that's a lot of overhead for one short clip.

Who it fits

E-commerce sellers and marketers who want quick video ads from existing product photos.

How it works

  1. A product image is pulled from Google Drive
  2. AI analyzes the image and writes a creative description
  3. The description becomes a video script and prompt
  4. The video is generated and rendered
  5. The finished video is saved back to Google Drive
What you get

Ad video drafts ready for review

A single product photo becomes a short, ready-to-review ad video without any manual editing.

What you get

An 8-second product ad video saved to Google Drive.

What you need

A Google Drive account and a Google Gemini 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.
