Playbooks
How brands and agencies produce creative with AI: practical playbooks on workflows, brand control, quality and scale, drawn from real client work.
Four posts that carry the positions the rest of the Playbooks build on.
TypeSafe's Jev answers questions with numbers and never writes text. In production on InstantClips it judges a video plan for a fiftieth of a cent in half a second, gives nearly the same answer when asked twice, and reports low confidence where it lacks the evidence. That is what makes consistent brand checks and automatic quality assessment on every asset affordable.
The price per image is the wrong number to compare. We tested OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst against GPT Image 2 and Nano 2 in ToolKit on the two things that decide what a finished image costs: whether the first attempt is usable, and whether an edit changes only what was asked.
A working structure for the pitch: open on the client's own numbers, bring a concept set built in their brand before they pay, answer compliance in the room, and scope one market at a fixed price.
Platforms have automated targeting, bidding and placement, so creative is the input an advertiser still supplies. What Meta's and TikTok's own fatigue guidance implies about how quickly creative demand compounds for a multi-market brand, and why the production line rarely keeps up.
What an AI creative studio changes about a traditional photo shoot: what still needs a camera, what stops needing a shoot day, and how to brief a shoot so its output feeds a production workflow.
Small brands win with fast, iterative product video. Here is how enterprise teams can match their cadence without sacrificing brand control.
How to keep human sign-off in an AI creative production line at volume: brand and compliance rules enforced before generation, legal review on the workflow itself, and gates that survive hundreds of assets a week.
How Instant Studio Campaigns turns audience participation into personalised creative, earned distribution and first-party data, with brand control built in.
InstantClips takes the product-video end of our enterprise production line and makes it self-serve. Paste a product link and get vertical video ads for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Meta and Amazon in minutes.
New image models land every few weeks. Here's how we test each one the week it ships, what the latest releases changed, and why routing your brief to the right engine beats betting on any single model.
Billy Hwang is on our team. On his own time, he used our platform to turn a song into an AI film, and the work behind it is what Creative Workflows do: holding one character, one palette and one kind of movement steady across shots that are each generated on their own.
A month of football, and four ways to show up while the whole world is watching the same thing: a hijacked viral format, a fan activation that captures the crowd, a meme shipped at the peak, and a workflow that never missed a match night.
Translation isn't localisation. Here's the workflow global brands use to adapt one campaign across markets — local talent, settings and copy included — without booking a single new shoot.
Paid social eats creative. Here's how a variant matrix, an AI production workflow and human QA turn a single campaign brief into fifty on-brand ad variants ready to test.
Turn catalogue images into creator-style product video for TikTok Shop, Reels and Douyin: the AI production workflow, and how to keep it on brand at volume.
Automate bulk product image editing: size-labelled SKU variants, watermarks, web optimisation, file naming and alt text. Here's the AI workflow that turns 500 raw photos into 3,000 web-ready product images without a team losing a month to it.
Instant Studio has been accepted into NVIDIA Inception, NVIDIA's global programme for AI companies. The resources are useful; the signal matters more. In a market full of tools that vanish, this is what staying power looks like.
