- description
- Turn a product description (free-form text — no URL needed) into a punchy 15–30 second AI-generated ad with hooks, CTA, and visuals. Use when the user pastes copy or specs but doesn't have a live page to scrape.

Product description → AI ad
Take a paragraph (or bullet list) describing a product and produce a polished short-form ad. The ad-generator workflow writes the hook + body + CTA itself based on the description.
When to use this skill
- The user pastes a product description, spec sheet, or feature list — *not* a
URL.
- They want hook → benefit → CTA structure (a *commercial*).
- They have no avatar / talking-head requirement (use
revid-blog-to-avatar-video for that).
- For a live URL, use
Inputs
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
prompt | yes | The product description (the AI uses it as the brief) |
stylePrompt | no | Optional brand voice notes (e.g. *"Apple-like, calm, premium"*) |
aspectRatio | no | Default 9:16 |
targetDuration | no | Default 22 (s) |
mediaItems | no | If you have product images, pass them in media.provided |
Step-by-step
- Validate
prompthas at least ~30 words (otherwise the ad is too thin). - Build the payload below; if product images were provided, slot them into
media.provided and set media.useOnlyProvided: false (mix with stock).
- POST
/render. - Poll
/status. - Return
videoUrl.

}ad-generator defaults to higher visual quality than article-to-video because ads compete on the first second. If credits are tight drop quality to pro.
Examples
examples/aeropods-ad.json— payload with brand
notes.
examples/run.sh— accepts description as a file or
positional arg.
Failure modes
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| Hook is generic | Make prompt specific. "Wireless earbuds" → meh. "Wireless earbuds with adaptive ANC and 38h battery for $179" → strong. |
| Ad reads like a feature list, not a hook | Add stylePrompt: "Lead with a question or emotional hook. Save specs for the middle. End with the price + a single CTA." |
| Visuals don't match the product | Pass real product images via media.provided: [{ url, type: "image" }]. The AI will weave them in. |
| Voice rushes | Lower voice.speed to 0.95. |
| Too many on-screen stickers | options.addStickers: false. |
