Use case · Dropshipping ad creator
Dropshipping is a testing game: most products fail, so each test has to be cheap and fast. We ran the loop for generating a scroll-stopping product-test ad without a shoot.

What we ran
A punchy direct-response product ad with the saved character and the referenced product rendered at 2 credits, fast enough to test many products in a day.
We generated a bright, high-energy ad of Nova pointing at the product, the kind of frame a dropshipper uses to test demand. At 2 credits a test, the math works for trying many products before committing spend.

01
Dropshipping economics only work if a failed product costs you almost nothing to test. A studio shoot per product breaks that. A 2-credit generation does not.
Generate one strong ad per candidate product and let the market decide before you invest further.
02
Pass the product photo as a reference and prompt for a high-energy direct-response frame: the creator pointing at the product, bold lighting, clean background.
We generated exactly that for 2 credits in a single call.
03
Batch a frame for each product you are testing. Push the ads, watch which earn clicks, and only build out the winners with more creative.
Keep the same character across tests so your store has one recognizable face even as products rotate.
04
When a product proves out, generate a short video ad from the same character and product to push the winner harder. The still test and the video scale share one creator.
