The problem it solves

Producing authentic-feeling product video ads usually means booking a shoot, hiring talent, and waiting days for footage you can actually use. When you need fresh creative for every campaign, that turnaround kills your momentum.

Who it fits

E-commerce brands or marketers who need a steady stream of UGC-style ad creative without a full production shoot.

How it works

  1. You provide a reference product image
  2. AI analyzes the image for brand colors, style and design
  3. The system generates UGC-style prompts and creates matching images and videos
  4. The finished media is uploaded to Box and Google Drive
  5. Every result is logged in Google Sheets for tracking
What you get

Ad creative that looks like real customer content

Turn one product photo into a stream of UGC-style images and videos ready for your ad campaigns.

What you get

A set of AI-generated product images and videos, stored in Box and Drive and logged in a spreadsheet.

What you need

An OpenAI API key plus image and video generation API access, Box, Google Drive and Google Sheets accounts.

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.
