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 revid-shopify-product-promo.

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 prompt has 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`.
