AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge

Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One fixed output format and licensed asset set; final brand and likeness checks remain editorial. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.

What your team sees

Primary screens: Creative brief and references, Editable production preview, Client proof and delivery. Use a thumbnail gallery for projects, a large central editing canvas, and a right-hand panel for references, constraints and comments. Let users compare versions side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a client preview link with comments anchored to the relevant asset. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed, brand-approved visual assets visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.

Accounts and administration

Project ownership, asset versions, client comments, approval states, usage allowances, revision limits, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.

Integrations and data access

Brand asset libraries, social publishing destinations and cloud storage. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.

We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

1. 1

   Scoping call

   Day 1

   Thirty minutes on your process, your data and how you want to run it: for your own team, or for your clients. You get a fixed scope and price for the MVP.

2. 2

   MVP

   6 days

   One buyer segment, one recurring use case; first modules: swap faces in photos and videos; animate static photos into singing or dancing clips. Manual review in the loop. Built by our AI software factory.

3. 3

   Paid pilot

   7 days

   Accounts, roles, review states, audit trail and the first integration, hardened for two to three paying pilot customers.

4. 4

   Full product

   3 weeks

   Self-serve onboarding, billing, monitoring and the wider integration set.

5. 5

   Run and improve

   Monthly

   We host, monitor and improve it for a fixed monthly fee, or hand it over to your team. How the retainer works.

Why we start with an MVP

An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.

1. Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will creative teams and small studios producing social and campaign visuals use it to solve "creative teams rent several separate AI editing subscriptions and still cannot combine face swap, animation, restyle and retouching in one reviewed workflow"?
2. Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
3. Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Approved assets per creative hour and corrections after client review.
4. Measure, then decide. Track approved assets per creative hour and corrections after client review; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.

MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One fixed output format and licensed asset set; final brand and likeness checks remain editorial. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: swap faces in photos and videos; animate static photos into singing or dancing clips. Support the third module with operator review: restyle videos as cartoons or other visual styles. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.

After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around reviewed, brand-approved visual assets. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One fixed output format and licensed asset set; final brand and likeness checks remain editorial.

What the build depends on. Asset upload and preview, asynchronous generation jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity production requires specialist creative QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One fixed output format and licensed asset set; final brand and likeness checks remain editorial.

A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.

Running costs per month

Your brand, or this one

Run it under your own brand, or start from this concept style.

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook

Pricing to test

Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined asset package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex video, 3D or specialist design separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewed, brand-approved visual assets. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.

Message to test

Reduce tool switching and review cycles while keeping creative control. Demonstrate a concrete reviewed, brand-approved visual assets using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.

Where to find buyers

Creative teams and small studios producing social and campaign visuals professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.

Lead magnet

A reviewed sample reviewed, brand-approved visual assets from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of approved assets per creative hour and corrections after client review and no promised savings.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: interview five creative teams and small studios producing social and campaign visuals and inspect a recent example of creative teams rent several separate AI editing subscriptions and still cannot combine face swap, animation, restyle and retouching in one reviewed workflow.
2. Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
3. Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
4. Week 4: measure approved assets per creative hour and corrections after client review, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.

Paid pilot

Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Approved assets per creative hour and corrections after client review. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.

Success metrics

Approved assets per creative hour and corrections after client review; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.

Retention and expansion

Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs reviewed, brand-approved visual assets. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.

Why clients would pick it

A reusable library of approved styles, brand constraints and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow creative niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for creative teams and small studios producing social and campaign visuals. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.

Alternatives and positioning

Unboring.ai, Videoleap and Picsart. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on approved assets per creative hour and corrections after client review. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.

Main delivery costs

Generation attempts, video or image processing, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source assets. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of reviewed, brand-approved visual assets. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.

Preserve likeness consent, source attribution, brand accuracy and usage permissions. Named owners approve substantive changes and publication scope. One fixed output format and licensed asset set; final brand and likeness checks remain editorial. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
