Getting started
What is Best AI Marketing Software?
Your AI marketing team in one place. Brief the AI director once and it picks the right model across image, video, and lip-sync, dispatches the job, and drops the result back into the canvas — 20+ models across 4 providers (fal, Replicate, Luma, Hedra), one workflow. Beyond making the creative, it also writes UGC ad scripts, schedules and publishes to your socials, builds lead funnels, and tracks what converted.
Do I need any technical skill to use it?
No. Type or paste a brief in plain English ("Hero shot of a ceramic mug, golden hour, 1:1"). The director chooses the model and parameters. Pull the result onto the canvas to compose.
What can I create with it?
Creative: product photography, ad creatives in any aspect ratio, brand-consistent images via your Brand Kit, short cinematic videos, spokesperson lip-sync, and multi-scene storyboards through the Director. Marketing: UGC ad scripts with AI actors, a weekly content calendar published to your socials, lead funnels and landing pages, SEO articles, paid-ad copy, outreach, and analytics tying a post to the lead it produced.
What is Creative Studio?
A Pro-only bonus suite of 19 focused AI tools beyond the core creation canvas — face swap, multi-view, relight, VFX, motion sync, replace character, voice-over, voice cloning, music, sound effects, and more. Use them to enhance, remix, and post-produce your generated content. Find it under "Creative Studio" in the menu once you're on Pro.
UGC ads & AI actors
What is the UGC ad studio?
It writes creator-style ad scripts — the talking-head format that performs on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts — built to be filmed with an AI actor. Find it under "UGC ads" in the menu. You describe the product, or just paste its URL. It produces the script; you then film it in the Creation Studio, which is a separate step (see the Instructions page for the full walkthrough).
Does "paste a product URL" make the video for me?
It makes the script, not the video. Paste a link and it reads the page, pulls out the name, description, benefits, audience, price, and product images, then writes the script around what's actually there — so you don't retype what you're selling. Filming it is the second step: take the script into the Creation Studio and lip-sync it to an actor. Two steps, roughly 16 credits all in.
What are the styles and frameworks?
Six creator formats — Testimonial, Unboxing, Before / After, Demo, Honest review, and Storytelling — crossed with three copywriting frameworks: PAS (problem–agitate–solve), AIDA (attention–interest–desire–action), and Problem → Solution. That's 18 combinations, and the script follows the format you pick beat for beat. Scripts come in 15, 30, 45, or 60 seconds.
What is the AI actor library?
48 photorealistic spokespeople you can browse at "AI actors" in the menu, filterable by gender, age range, and look. "Add to my cast" saves one as a Character, so Character Lock and Hedra lip-sync pick them up like any face you'd upload — no camera, no hiring, no release forms.
What is batch mode / testing angles?
Instead of one script, generate 5 or 10 at once, each attacking a different angle — pain-point, social proof, curiosity, cost-of-inaction. It's 1 credit per variant, and if the model returns fewer than you asked for, the difference is refunded automatically. Film the strongest hooks, post them, and let your analytics show which one won before you spend on scale.
Pricing & credits
How does pricing work?
Three monthly plans — Plus ($29), Pro ($79), Ultra ($199). Each comes with a monthly credit allowance that resets every billing cycle. Credits are consumed per generation: image (2), video (20), lip-sync (14), brief (2).
What happens if a generation fails?
Credits are automatically refunded when the provider returns an error. You only pay for renders that actually start successfully.
Can I bring my own API keys (BYOK)?
Yes. Go to Settings and paste your fal, Hedra, or OpenAI keys. When a personal key is configured, the system uses it instead of ours — useful if you want to track spend directly on a provider account, or to unlock the flagship BYOK engines (Veo 3, Kling Pro, Seedance).
Do credits roll over month to month?
No. Each renewal sets your balance to the plan's monthly allowance. Use them or lose them.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from Settings → Subscription. You'll keep access until the end of the paid period, then downgrade to Free.
How it works
Which models does the AI director use?
Flux for images; Kling, Wan, Hunyuan, and Seedance for video; and Hedra Character-3 for spokesperson lip-sync — all via fal + Replicate. The director scores models on style match, quality, speed, resolution, and cost — then dispatches.
What is a Brand Kit?
A set of brand assets (logo, primary/secondary color, voice tone, character reference photo) that get injected into every generation prompt. Set one up in Settings → Brand Kit. The director references it on every render so visuals stay on-brand.
Why doesn't my render appear immediately?
Provider render times vary: image ≈ 8–15s, video ≈ 30–120s, lip-sync ≈ 60–90s. The canvas chat shows a live progress card per active job; the video drops in inline when the provider finishes.
Privacy & safety
What data do you store?
Your account profile (from Clerk), encrypted BYOK API keys (AES-256-GCM, per-user IV), saved canvas snapshots, brand kits, and generation history for credit auditing. Generated outputs are stored on Vercel Blob under your user-scoped prefix.
Are my prompts used to train models?
No prompts are used to train Best AI Marketing Software's systems. Provider terms vary — fal, Replicate, and Hedra each publish their own data-use policies. BYOK gives you the strongest control: the prompt goes directly to your account.
How do you defend against prompt injection?
Every user-authored prompt is sanitized to strip invisible Unicode (tag block, zero-width, bidi overrides) before it reaches the LLM. Brand Kit free-text is sanitized at write and read time.
Account & billing
How do I change my plan?
Go to Settings → Subscription → Manage. You'll be sent to the Stripe Customer Portal where you can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel.
I was charged but my plan didn't upgrade
Sometimes Stripe webhook events take a minute to process. Refresh after ~60s. If it persists, contact support with your Stripe receipt and we'll reconcile manually.
Do you offer refunds?
We honor refunds for full-month windows where no renders were performed. Contact support within 7 days of the charge.
Social publishing & autopilot
How does the weekly autopilot work?
A CMO agent reads your Brand Kit and drafts a week of strategy, the Writer turns that into posts in your brand voice, and a cron job publishes them across the week. You can edit any post before it goes live.
Which platforms are supported?
LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, YouTube, and TikTok. The weekly autopilot posts to LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, and Bluesky; YouTube and TikTok are on-demand video publishing from a finished Director film.
Can I edit or stop a post before it publishes?
Yes. Posts stay scheduled until their publish time — edit or delete them in the calendar, and toggle the autopilot off anytime.
I manage several Facebook Pages — which one posts?
You pick the Page via the "Posting to" dropdown in Settings → Social connections. Switching Pages needs no reconnect.
What if a post fails?
It's marked failed with the error shown. Fix the connection and retry.
Growth tools
What is the outreach finder?
Give it your niche (e.g. "AI marketing tools for indie founders") and it scours the web for relevant venues — newsletters, blogs, podcasts, communities — scores them for fit, and drafts a pitch for each into a review queue. Nothing is ever sent automatically: you read, edit, and decide. It's under Outreach in the menu.
What does the paid-ads composer do?
Describe the offer, pick a platform, and it writes a platform-ready ad package — headlines, primary text, and variants shaped to that platform's rules. Find it under Paid ads. Use it to draft the copy; you still place the buy on the ad network yourself.
What's on the Ideas page?
A ranked answer to "what should I make next?" — content ideas grounded in your Brand Kit, your strategy, and which of your posts actually performed. Each idea comes with a why-now so you're not guessing at timing. Hit generate for a fresh batch.
What does Analytics show me?
The loop closing: which posts went out, what they did, and — via UTM attribution — which ones produced leads. That's what feeds the Ideas page and the A/B winners, so the system gets better at your audience rather than at audiences in general.
What is Studio Long-Form?
A made-to-order, feature-length AI film, quoted per project rather than paid in credits — it's a different scale from a 60-second ad. There's a details page linked from Pricing; you apply and we scope it with you.
Leads & engagement
What is a landing page / lead funnel?
An AI-generated page served at a public /p/{slug} link with an email capture form. Leads collected there appear in your list, and you can attach an optional lead magnet.
How does the engagement agent work?
It drafts replies to real mentions — it works best on X. Every reply requires your approval; nothing sends automatically. The feature is opt-in and rate-limited.
