Nothing here is real. And it took me 30 minutes to creates. AMA

Sorry - French client. Here is the script if you were wondering:

If you have stretch marks on your arms, stomach, or any other part of your body, our

Dialuskin anti-stretch mark duo — Black Soap Peeling and Lavender Repair Oil —

exfoliates the skin deeply to help support skin renewal.

This duo targets stretch marks linked to pregnancy, weight changes, or muscle gain

from the gym.

It works on all types of stretch marks: white, red, and purple.

Apply both products morning and night after your shower without rinsing the area for

better results.

And when your skin starts to feel tight, because the peeling will dry out the skin, stop

using the peeling for 48 to 72 hours and apply the oil generously. It will help soothe,

hydrate, and nourish your skin deeply.

Watch your skin renew itself week after week.

Available on dialuskin.com with fast home delivery in just 2 to 3 days.

But it took me 30mn to create:
- Search for a winning competitor ad on meta ads library,
- Analyse script and frame each by each (Claude)
- Generate prompts to produce similar avatar & b-rolls, based on the client's product (Claude)
- Generate assets with several models (depending on which kind of b-roll you have to create) through Hoox MCP. really easy to connect, I can share you a full guide.
- Edit & Upscale in Hoox
- Sound effects in Capcut.

The hardest part of AI UGC nobody talks about: product consistency across scenes. Thoughts? AMA.

Been working on a full AI UGC for a French handbag brand and wanted to share what actually went wrong. Not just the final result.

The concept: a woman showing off the bag in different settings (haul style). Talking head scenes, lifestyle shots, a quick jump cut sequence on her outfit. Classic UGC format.

The final result looks clean. But getting there was painful.

Here's the real problem with AI: the product itself changes between scenes.

When you're doing talking head shots, you need volume. Multiple scenes, different angles, different moments. And every time you generate a new scene, the model can reinterprets the product. Even with reference images.

I was using Nano Banana Pro for the image generation and there were moments where I genuinely wanted to throw my laptop. You feed it the exact reference image of the bag — the shape, the strap, the hardware — and it just... decides to make it slightly different. Wrong proportions. Different buckle. Strap too thin. Sometimes it nails it, sometimes it's way off.

This is probably the biggest unsolved challenge in AI UGC right now. The character consistency problem is mostly solved. But product consistency? Still a nightmare.

What worked for me:

  • Generate more scenes than you need, then cherry-pick the ones where the bag looks right
  • The animation step was actually the easy part. Kling 3 handles that beautifully once you have a clean base image
  • Did everything inside Hoox except one section (the outfit jump cut sequence), which I edited externally and re-imported

Total time: about 2 hours including all the failed generations and editing.

Genuinely curious. Has anyone found reliable techniques to maintain product accuracy across multiple AI-generated scenes? Reference images only get you so far.

Would love to hear what's working for others.

I've been doing a lot of AI video content lately and wanted to push the format further. Not just a talking head reading a script, but actual visual storytelling.

The concept: a girl receives her sofa, unboxes it, and assembles it piece by piece. Her dog is right there the whole time. Jump cuts throughout, very classic UGC energy. The kind of content that feels native on TikTok or Meta feeds.

What I did:

  • Found inspo on Instagram. A real UGC from a furniture brand
  • Recreated a first shot using ChatGPT 2 for the reference image
  • Generated every scene/edits with Nano Banana Pro for consistent character + dog across all shots
  • Animated everything with Kling 3
  • Edited the final video directly inside Hoox (captions, music, pacing)

The hardest part was keeping the character and the dog consistent across all the frames. Once the first image was locked, the rest flowed pretty naturally.

Honestly I think AI UGC is at its best when you treat it like actual filmmaking. For this kind of content: storyboard first, match the beats, make the viewer feel something. The tech is just the tool.

Curious what you guys think. Does the storytelling land? Would love feedback! And happy to answer any questions about the process.

So I've been messing around with AI video tools for ads and I got kinda tired of the whole "talking head reads a script for 15 seconds" thing that everyone's doing right now.

Wanted to see if I could actually build something with a real narrative. Picked Freeletics as a test.

The story: dude in his 30s, 20kg overweight, been letting himself go. Wedding's coming up in 6 months. He snaps out of it, finds the app, gets his shit together.

What I did:

- Found inspo for the character on Pinterest
- Recreated the look with AI image gen
- Wrote a proper script with an actual arc — not just "this app changed my life bro"
- Generated b-rolls that match the story beats (working out, meal prep, wedding suit hanging in the background)
- Edited the whole thing with captions, music, transitions

Took me like 40 min start to finish. No creator, no shoot.

Honestly I think the biggest issue with AI ads right now isn't the tech. It's that people treat it like a shortcut instead of a creative tool. You can't just throw a face on screen with a generic voiceover and expect people to care. The story is what makes someone stop scrolling.

Anyway, curious what you guys think of the result. Is the AI too obvious? Does the narrative land? Would you keep scrolling or actually watch?

Go the exact process in a notion page if anyone wants to try something similar. Or AMA.

I really love to work on these formats. Some clients have incredible conversions rate with it on META ads. And it so fun to create! More organic, with a calm pace. Letting you enrich the message, have it more natural rather than traditional UGC/AI UGC ads.

The stack:
- Pinterest or TT/IG for inspiration
- ChatGPT 2 for reference images (inside Hoox)
- Script (Hoox)
- Automated edit + small edits (logo, zoom in, music & subtitles) : Hoox
- Upscale : Bytedance Video upscaler (1080p to 2K - 60ps)
- Adjustments : color grading in Davinci Resolve

I'm looking for some feedbacks of people actually publishing (or tried to) reels/carrousels through Instagram API. Does it works? Does it affects posts performances? Is there any "account health" prerequisites?

Needed some Pinterest inspirations before all but one you've find out a reference - the rest will follow naturally.
Got a full step-by-step tutorial. DM and I'll send it to you

Hey guys,

I had a question about platform geolocation.

I’m working with a client here in France who wants to distribute content to English-speaking audiences, especially in the US.

The problem is that TikTok and Instagram seem to limit reach based on account/app geolocation, so he’s struggling to break out of his local audience.

I’ve heard different things here and there, like buying a clean phone, using a US SIM card, setting up a VPN before posting anything, etc. But my client has already tried some of that and it doesn’t seem to work reliably.

Do you have any practical tips for this?

At this point, I’m wondering whether it’s even worth trying to “reset” the account setup, or if the better move is simply to work with people based in the US who can handle posting directly from there.

Thanks guys!
