How to Make AI UGC Ads for Your Business (Step by Step)

How to make AI UGC ads for your business, step by step. In this video I take one product photo (a kitchen knife) and turn it into two 15-second vertical video ads with AI: a polished product ad and a UGC-style ad where a person shows the product like a real customer would. Then I upscale the video so it looks even sharper. UGC ads (user-generated content) are short, phone-style videos that feel like a real person talking about a product. They're among the most common ad formats on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. With AI you can make them without hiring creators, shipping products or filming anything, and test lots of different hooks and angles for the same product. Make sure it's clear the video is made with AI, and only use claims that are true for your product. I use Krater in this video, the all-in-one AI workspace for businesses. It has 500+ AI models in one place: text models like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to write the script and the second-by-second prompt, video models like Seedance, Veo and Kling to make the ad, and an upscaler to sharpen the final video. You don't need a separate UGC tool or a subscription for each model. Try Krater: https://krater.ai/?utm_source=youtube...
