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 approved brand asset set and licensed model list; final brand and rights 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 reviewer-approved visual assets linked to campaign briefs 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-owned asset libraries, authorized references and permitted model providers. Cloud asset storage, design-file import/export and publishing destinations. 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.
How we build it
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.

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.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will creative teams and studios producing campaign and product visuals use it to solve "visual production is split across several rented AI tools, so assets, styles and approvals live in different places"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Approved visual assets per production hour and corrections after creative approval.
- Measure, then decide. Track approved visual assets per production hour and corrections after creative approval; 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 approved brand asset set and licensed model list; final brand and rights checks remain editorial. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: generate images from text or image inputs; generate video from prompts or image inputs. Support the remaining modules with operator review: produce variations, remove backgrounds, upscale, inpaint and outpaint, manipulate objects, apply styles, edit by text or voice, train custom models, route across models, render live, generate vectors, browse libraries, use templates, process audio, work in Figma and brush-edit. 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 reviewer-approved visual assets linked to campaign briefs. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One approved brand asset set and licensed model list; final brand and rights 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 approved brand asset set and licensed model list; final brand and rights checks remain editorial.

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 reviewer-approved visual assets linked to campaign briefs. 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 sprawl and review cycles while keeping one approved visual library. Demonstrate a concrete reviewer-approved visual assets linked to campaign briefs using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Creative teams and studios producing campaign and product visuals professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample reviewer-approved visual assets linked to campaign briefs from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of approved visual assets per production hour and corrections after creative approval and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five creative teams and studios producing campaign and product visuals and inspect a recent example of visual production split across several rented AI tools, so assets, styles and approvals live in different places.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure approved visual assets per production hour and corrections after creative approval, 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 visual assets per production hour and corrections after creative approval. 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 visual assets per production hour and corrections after creative approval; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.
Retention and expansion
Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs reviewer-approved visual assets linked to campaign briefs. 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, production 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 studios producing campaign and product visuals. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
KREA, Kittl, Impossible Images, Phedra AI, Fal.ai, ExtendImageAI, Hippo AI, MagicQuill, Astria and Stable Diffusion Reimagine. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on approved visual assets per production hour and corrections after creative approval. 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 reviewer-approved visual assets linked to campaign briefs. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve brand voice, source attribution, asset accuracy and usage permissions. Brand owners approve substantive changes and publication scope. One approved brand asset set and licensed model list; final brand and rights checks remain editorial. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
