Turn a photo and prompt into an AI-generated video ad

You provide a photo, a prompt, and a duration, and the system generates a finished AI video automatically.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats recheck status until ready.

The problem it solves

Producing video content for ads or social media usually means hiring a crew, actors, or expensive production tools. You have product photos and ideas but no fast way to turn them into video. Testing multiple video concepts for a campaign takes too long to do by hand.

Who it fits

Best for ad agencies, e-commerce brands, and content creators who need video without a production team.

How it works

  1. You provide a seed image, a text prompt, and a video length
  2. The system sends the request to an AI video generation model
  3. It checks the generation status automatically until the video is ready
  4. You receive the finished AI-generated video
What you get

Video ads generated from a photo and prompt

You get a finished AI-generated video ad built from a photo, a prompt, and a duration you choose.

What you get

A finished AI-generated video ready to use in ads or social content.

What you need

A Replicate account and an OpenAI 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.
