Why it works

Parody is funny and shareable, and the obvious style makes people watch an ad on purpose.

How it plays

  1. problem (about 6 s): An exaggerated black-and-white problem scene.
  2. reveal (about 5 s): The product reveal.
  3. demos (about 15 s): Three silly demos of real benefits.
  4. cta (about 5 s): Announcer-style CTA.

The hook: 'Are you tired of…?'

AI footage. Made with GPT Image 2, Veo 3.1 Lite, ElevenLabs v4, Lyria 3. It suits consumer apps, food, ecommerce, services businesses. The writer takes every fact from your website, so prices, products and reviews are yours, and you approve the script before anything is made.

Questions

How much does the retro commercial template cost to make?

Each one costs about $5.50 in AI credits, paid at cost with your own key. OpenPromo adds no markup. Writing the script is a few cents, and you see it before anything is made.

Rendering again after an edit only pays for the scenes you changed.

Do I have to write the script?

No. Add your website and OpenPromo reads it: what you sell, your prices, your reviews, your colours and fonts. The writer fills the template from that, and you can edit every scene, or give it an angle such as a product or an offer.

Which AI models make it?

GPT Image 2, Veo 3.1 Lite, ElevenLabs v4, Lyria 3. They were picked in a side-by-side test of the image, video and voice models available, on quality for the price.
