|---|---|---|
| Primary job | Generate product content and reuse it across ads, PDPs, onsite video, email, and shopping experiences. | Automate feed-based creative production and paid-social campaign workflows. |
| Creative inputs | Use catalog data, Brand DNA, references, files, and creative skills. | Use product feeds, Figma or PSD templates, creative rules, dynamic catalog inputs, and campaign data. |
| Variant production | Create images, product video, UGC-style assets, PDP content, and ad variants. | Automate resizing, cropping, backgrounds, colors, localization, and product-feed variants across thousands of products. |
