Generate CGI ad videos from text prompts and save to Google Drive

You submit a text prompt and it turns that into a CGI video, then saves it to Google Drive and emails you the link.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Exactly one path is taken; repeats video still processing; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

Producing a CGI-style video from scratch means hiring a designer or learning complex software, and even then it can take days to get something usable. Most small teams do not have the time or budget for that.

Who it fits

Marketing teams or small businesses that want quick CGI-style ad videos without a production budget.

How it works

  1. Starts when someone submits a prompt through a form
  2. Sends the prompt to the video generation API
  3. Checks back periodically until the video is ready
  4. Uploads the finished video to Google Drive and sets sharing permissions
  5. Emails you a link to the video, or an error notice if something went wrong
What you get

Ad concepts you never had a budget to film

You describe an ad idea and get back a finished CGI-style video saved to your Google Drive with a link emailed to you.

What you get

A finished CGI video saved in Google Drive, with an email link to view it.

What you need

A Sora 2 API key and a Google Drive account.

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.
