FAQs

Can AI UGC replace real creators?

AI UGC is best for fast creative testing, early campaign drafts, hook exploration, and low-cost content volume. Real creators still matter for influencer distribution, creator trust, and testimonial rights.

Does AI UGC work for Indian audiences?

It can work well when the prompt includes Indian personas, local language, realistic home settings, product-in-hand moments, and duration-safe dialogue instead of generic global stock-style scenes.

What assets do I need to start?

A product name, a short product brief, and ideally one clean product image are enough to generate the first AI UGC video or product visual.
