Generate UGC Video Ad Prompts

AI-Powered UGC Ads Generator

This workflow creates User Generated Content (UGC) style video ad prompts designed for short-form platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. It analyzes a product image, takes in your campaign details, and produces vivid, diverse video prompt scripts that capture authentic, casual conversations about your product.

What It Does

1. Starts manually — A manual trigger kicks off the workflow.
2. Configures campaign inputs — A code node sets up all the key parameters: product name, description, reference image URL, target audience, dialogue script, number of videos, and special scene/actor requests.
3. Analyzes the product image — An AI agent uses a web browsing tool to view the product image and extract design elements like colors, branding, typography, and packaging style.
4. Generates UGC video prompts — A second AI agent creates multiple unique, detailed video prompts based on the campaign inputs and image analysis. Each prompt describes a scene with a specific actor, setting, lighting, camera angle, and the exact dialogue.
5. Formats the prompts — A code node structures each prompt with the target model and aspect ratio for downstream use.
6. Reviews prompt quality — An AI agent scores and optimizes each prompt in parallel, checking for visual detail, natural UGC feel, and brand consistency.
7. Submits to video API — An HTTP request sends each finalized prompt to a video generation endpoint.
8. Extracts task IDs — A code node parses the API responses into structured results with status and video URLs.
9. Aggregates results — A final code node compiles a summary of submitted and failed tasks.
10. Sends email notification — A Gmail node sends an HTML email with the campaign results, video URLs, and success/failure summary.

What You Need

• A Needle platform account with access to AI nodes
• Access to the Needle Browse Web tool (used for product image analysis)
• A publicly accessible product image URL
• Your campaign details ready (product name, description, target audience, dialogue, ad length, special requests)
• A Gmail connection configured in Needle (for the email notification step)
• Optionally, a real video generation API endpoint to replace the placeholder

Workflow Steps

Output

At the end of the workflow, you receive:

• A structured list of quality-reviewed UGC video prompts, each tailored with a unique actor, scene, and setting
• API submission results with task IDs and statuses
• An email summary with video URLs and success/failure counts

The prompts are ready to feed into any compatible AI video generation tool for producing authentic short-form ad videos.

Notes

• The workflow expects a downloadable product image URL. Make sure your image link is publicly accessible.
• Be specific with your dialogue script and special requests (actor age, gender diversity, scene types) for the best results.
• Prompts are generated for vertical video (9:16 aspect ratio), standard for TikTok and Instagram Reels.
• You can adjust the number of videos by changing the how_many_videos parameter in the campaign config node.
• The HTTP request step currently uses a placeholder API URL. Replace it with your actual video generation API endpoint and credentials for production use.
• Update the Gmail recipient address to your own before running the workflow.
