Building an AI Video Startup

I work at a video startup based out of Bengaluru. Our Video Tool allows you to create ugc type ads , cinematic product ads and even micro-drama-style content that is pre-scored and optimised to perform.

We are currently giving away one free video to each new sign-up. If you are a product/services based provider looking at AI Videos, do try it out. DM me for the URL and access.

Currently being used by Physicswallah, Liquid Death, Melooha, and Funda App through our agency model.

SuperMaya.AI: the fastest and cheapest way to make cinematic ad videos right now

If you're still paying for shoots, actors, or agency retainers to get cinematic-quality ad videos, there's a faster and far cheaper way to do it now.

SuperMaya.AI generates studio-quality cinematic ads from a single product brief. No camera, no crew, no weeks of back and forth with an editor.

Here's why it's hard to beat on both speed and price:

Cheapest in the game. Polished cinematic videos start around $80 each. Compare that to a traditional shoot, which can run into thousands of dollars per video before you've even tested if the ad works.

Insanely fast. Up to 100 videos generated per hour. What used to take a production house weeks now takes an afternoon.

Built for volume, not just one hero video. Run up to 1,000-1,200 ad variants in a single campaign, so you're not betting your entire budget on a single creative direction.

Know what'll work before you spend. Every video gets a pre-launch performance score, so you can kill weak creative before it burns ad spend, not after.

Actually licensed. Training data is licensed and traceable, so you're not risking a copyright strike or a platform takedown down the line.

Built by people who know ads. The team is IIT and BITS alumni plus veterans from the ad-tech space, and brands like Belkin, Amazon Now, Liquid Death, Gameloft, and Corona are already using it.

Built an AI tool that generates 100 polished product video ads per hour, curious what dropshippers think

Quick disclosure upfront: I work on this, so take it as self-promo, not an unbiased review. But I've been lurking here for a while and this community's constant complaints about video ad costs are basically why we built it, so I figured I'd share and get honest feedback.

If you're running a dropshipping store, you already know the drill. Every winning product needs video creative, and one video almost never wins. You need 10, 20, 50 variants to find the hook and angle that actually converts, and a normal shoot or freelance editor can't keep up with that kind of testing volume without burning your margins.

What we built (SuperMaya.AI) generates video ads from a single product brief, no camera, no actors, no studio. A few things that seem to matter most for stores like the ones in this sub:

Speed. Up to 100 videos an hour. You can test a product's creative angles same day instead of waiting a week on an editor.

Volume for actual testing. Campaigns can run up to 1,000 to 1,200 ad variants at once, which matters a lot when you're trying to find the one hook that beats your control.

Pre-launch scoring. Every video gets scored for predicted performance before you spend a rupee or dollar on media, so you're not blind-testing everything.

Format variety. UGC-style, story ads, cinematic product ads, all from the same brief, so you can match the format to the platform (Reels vs Stories vs TikTok feed etc.)

Pricing. Works out to around $80 per polished video, which is a fraction of what a freelance editor or agency charges per video, especially once you're testing dozens of variants per product.

Happy to answer questions on how it actually works under the hood, or drop a portfolio link in the comments if anyone wants to see sample output before asking. Not trying to oversell it, genuinely curious if this solves a real problem for people running lean here or if I'm missing something dropshippers actually need more.

What we've learned scoring 1000s of video ads before they go live (not a pitch, just sharing)

I lead GTM at SuperMaya.ai, so full disclosure up front, this isn't a promo post; I just wanted to share something that might be useful to founders here who run their own paid creative.

We've generated and performance-scored a large volume of video ad creative across D2C, apps and a few other categories, and the pattern that keeps showing up is: most teams don't have a volume problem, they have a testing problem. Everyone can produce 3-5 ad variants for a campaign. Almost nobody tests 30-40 before picking a winner, because the cost and turnaround of production makes that impractical. The accounts that consistently bring CAC down are usually the ones testing far more variants, not the ones with the single 'best' video.

Curious how other founders here are handling creative testing at seed/Series A budgets - are you batching shoots, using AI Video creators, doing it in-house? Genuinely trying to understand what's working for people outside of what we're building.

I'm happy to share our work and portfolio of ads we have optimised.
