When you create an asset in Aytada, your product description passes through a sequence of specialised AI models. Each stage has a distinct role: strategy sets the creative direction, scripting writes the copy, scene breakdown translates copy into visual direction, and rendering turns those directions into actual video clips, images, or audio. This page explains what happens at each stage and which models are involved.Documentation Index

Strategy, ideation, and scene generation are free. Aytada only deducts credits when a model renders a final asset — a video clip, voiceover, banner, or jingle.
The production pipeline
Strategy and ideation (free)
Every asset begins with strategy. You provide:
- Product name and description — what you are advertising
- Business type — Physical Product, SaaS, Service, E-commerce Brand, and seven others
- Industry context — Beauty & Skincare, Fitness, Tech/SaaS, and five others
- Creative style — Direct Response, UGC Style, Cinematic, Storytelling, and six others
- Target avatar — a specific person defined by their current struggle and desired identity
- Persuasion trigger — one of Cialdini’s six principles (Reciprocity, Social Proof, Authority, etc.)
- Awareness stage — where your audience sits on the 5 Stages of Customer Awareness
Script generation
After you select a concept, Aytada generates a full ad script. Scripts are structured in four sections:
The model receives your business type, industry pain points, target avatar description, persuasion trigger rules, and awareness stage narrative strategy as context. This means a Direct Response script for a fitness supplement at the Most Aware stage will read very differently from a Storytelling script for a SaaS product at the Unaware stage — because the prompts are fundamentally different.
- Hook — the opening line or visual that stops the scroll
- Problem — agitation of the pain point your audience recognises
- Solution — introduction of your product as the answer
- CTA — a clear call to action matched to the awareness stage
| Tier | Model | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | GPT-5.5 | 2 credits |
| Premium | Claude Opus 4.7 | 5 credits |
Scene breakdown (free)
The script is automatically broken down into individual visual scenes — one per act, scaled to the ad length you chose (3, 5, or 7 scenes). Each scene includes:
- Narration text — the voiceover line for that scene
- Visual direction — subject, action, and setting
- Camera notes — angle, movement, and lens cues
- Lighting and atmosphere — time of day, mood, colour temperature
You can edit scene descriptions before rendering. If the AI chose an exterior shot but your product works better in a studio, update the description and render with your revised direction.
Asset rendering
This is where credits are consumed. Aytada uses different model pipelines depending on the asset type:
If you uploaded a product image, the hook scene is generated using Image-to-Video mode, which uses your photo as the starting frame. All other scenes use Text-to-Video mode.Scenes generate concurrently (up to three at once), so total render time is roughly the duration of a single scene generation rather than the sum of all scenes.
Jingles cost 5 credits and produce a 15–60 second audio asset.
Video ads
Video scenes are rendered in parallel using fal.ai’s multi-model architecture. The model is selected automatically based on the quality tier you chose:| Tier | Primary model | Fallback model | Resolution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Wan 2.7 | Kling V3 Standard | 720p |
| Pro | Kling V3 Pro | Seedance 2.0 | 1080p |
Ad banners and social flyers
Static assets use a typography-first pipeline because readable text inside an image is notoriously difficult for most AI models:- GPT Image 2 generates the base composition with headlines, body copy, and layout
- Bria Product Shot composites your product image into the generated scene
- Topaz Upscaler refines the output for high-DPI displays
Brand jingles
Jingle generation maps your ad tone and brand personality to a music description, then routes to the appropriate model tier:| Tier | Model | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | ACE-Step or CassetteAI | Background loops, fast instrumentals |
| Premium | MiniMax Music 2.0 | Lyric-driven jingles with structural tags |
| Elite | ElevenLabs Music | Section-level composition and lyric control |
Voiceover generation
After video scenes are rendered, Aytada generates a voiceover from your script using ElevenLabs v3 via fal.ai (5 credits). The voice is chosen based on your persuasion trigger:
- Authority → confident, clear male voice
- Liking → casual, empathetic female voice
- Scarcity → urgent, fast-paced delivery
- Reciprocity → warm, instructional tone
[excited] on the hook line) to produce more expressive delivery rather than flat narration.If ElevenLabs is unavailable or times out, Aytada automatically falls back to Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS at no extra cost and with no interruption to your workflow.Final assembly
The last step stitches your rendered scene clips and voiceover into a single MP4 file. Aytada submits the assets to Shotstack Edit API (5 credits), which:
- Sequences scene clips in order on the video track
- Overlays the voiceover on the audio track at 30% video volume
- Mixes in background music if you generated a background track
- Renders and returns a final downloadable MP4
Multi-model architecture
Aytada uses primary and fallback models for every generation step. If the primary model is slow, returns an error, or times out, the request automatically retries against the fallback model. From your perspective, generation either succeeds or fails with a clear error message — you will never see a mid-pipeline failure that silently produces a broken asset.| Step | Primary | Fallback |
|---|---|---|
| Ideas and scenes | DeepSeek V4 Flash | — |
| Standard script | GPT-5.5 | — |
| Premium script | Claude Opus 4.7 | — |
| Video (Standard) | Wan 2.7 | Kling V3 Standard |
| Video (Pro) | Kling V3 Pro | Seedance 2.0 |
| Voiceover | ElevenLabs v3 | Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS |
| Banners/Flyers | GPT Image 2 | Bria pipeline |
Creative Intelligence
Every generation step is shaped by your campaign’s creative context. Aytada injects the following into each AI prompt:- Business type determines the visual approach — product-centric for physical goods, outcome-centric for SaaS, transformation-centric for services
- Industry context provides relevant pain points, aspirations, and hook angles specific to your market
- Creative style sets the narrative approach — a UGC Style script reads like a casual testimonial, while a Cinematic script uses sparse copy and visual spectacle
- Awareness stage governs what the script is allowed to say — an Unaware audience never hears the product name in the first scene; a Most Aware audience gets urgency and a direct offer
- Persuasion trigger shapes voice tone, narrative arc, and the specific emotional lever the script pulls
Want to target different audience segments from the same product? Create separate campaigns — one per awareness stage or audience segment. Each campaign maintains its own strategy, scripts, and assets independently.
