model testsThe STORM format: eighty people bow, your avatar lights a cigarette — a Seedance prompt that borrows the motion, in two steps
How to make the STORM format with your own avatar. A Seedance prompt for a reference-video shot: Seedance 2.5 takes the movement from the clip, you describe only what is in the frame. Two steps in the OmniAgent chat for 638 credits — or the full prompt and settings for any generator.
ugc replicationAn influencer brief is easy to format and hard to source
Every influencer brief template hands you empty fields. We built one from a real product card on production and timed it: fifteen and a half minutes, fourteen sections, twenty-one compliance lines copied word for word — and eight facts the brand had never supplied, declared instead of invented.
ugc replicationSix columns, and the sixth is the one nobody ships
A shot list template is five columns everyone agrees on and one nobody includes: a reference photograph of the real product. We generated stills for two products without it and the model invented both labels — a nutrition panel with the wrong calories and an ingredient list with a sweetener the product does not contain.
agent orchestrationYour agents are grading their own work: orchestration lessons from 134 bug reports
AI agent orchestration measured in production: 134 bug reports audited, ~24 traced to agents judging their own output, and the two node types — a checker that isn't the writer, a human gate that is a job state — that closed the class without adding a single agent.

model testsSeedance 2 vs Grok, PixVerse, MiniMax: only one held the label
The ai content automation shootout: someone else's viral ad rebuilt with our own presenter and product, then the same scene run through Seedance 2.0, Grok Imagine 1.5, PixVerse V6 and MiniMax H3. Real prices, the exact failure each model has, and the $3.88 part we ship.
ugc replicationThe model has never seen your product — here is what it draws instead
Our first AI product video spelled the brand FITNESSHACK. The cause was not the prompt: the product page served icons instead of photographs. What a reference card is, what goes in it, and why the $0.22 step protects the $3.69 one.
ugc replicationThirty cuts, two clips: what a faceless reel is actually made of
What faceless reels are actually made of: we measured a viral one — 6 seconds, 30 cuts, 0.2s apart — and rebuilt it with a character we own. Thirty cuts are not thirty generations: two clips, a local timeline, assembly at 0 credits.
ai influencersHow to create an AI influencer who is still the same person in video two
How to create an AI influencer, from a recorded session: four free steps of configuration, one identity card for 12 credits (~$0.12), five images back in 4m 30s. The card is the whole trick — without it the second video is a different human.
