An AI UGC generator built for volume and authenticity

Winning on social means shipping a lot of native-looking video and testing fast. CraftStory, built by the team behind OpenCV, lets you turn one photo — or pick from 100+ AI creators — into talking UGC clips with accurate lip-sync and natural gestures, then regenerate new hooks in minutes instead of scheduling reshoots. Want your own face? Build a reusable talking avatar from a ~15-second video. Everything ships in 30+ languages, and a built-in Video Agent can script, add b-roll and subtitles, and cast a creator end-to-end. Start on the free plan, no card required.

How to make UGC ads with AI in 5 steps

One product photo or one AI creator, a batch of hooks, and an afternoon. Here is the whole workflow.

1. Write the hooks first

The first two seconds decide everything. Write 5–10 hooks per product and attach the same body script to each: the hook is the variable you test, the rest is the constant.

2. Pick the presenter

Choose one of 100+ AI creators that matches your audience, turn a product or founder photo into a talking presenter, or use an avatar of yourself. One presenter across all variants keeps the test clean.

3. Generate the voice

Paste the script and pick a voice in 30+ languages, or clone your own. Keep it conversational: short sentences, contractions, no announcer energy. That is what makes it read as UGC.

4. Generate vertical video

Portrait 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. CraftStory animates the presenter with natural gestures and lip-sync from your script, up to 30 minutes long.

5. Test at volume, scale the winner

Launch every hook with a small budget, drop the losers in 48–72 hours, put the money behind the hook that holds attention, and generate the next batch around it.

Hook formulas, a 30-second script template and the mistakes to avoid are in the guide: how to make UGC ads with AI.

Make UGC with AI: from one product photo to a batch of ad variants

Most UGC ads stall in production, not in the ad manager: finding creators, shipping product, waiting weeks for one usable take. An AI UGC ads workflow flips that. Write 5–10 hooks, pick a creator — or make a talking photo from a single image — and batch-generate every variant the same afternoon. Launch the batch, keep the hooks that convert, and regenerate fresh angles the moment creative fatigue sets in. That is what a UGC ads generator is for: creative testing at the speed your ad account actually needs, without talent fees or usage-rights negotiations.

Step-by-step guide: How to make UGC ads with AI — hooks, scripts and batch-generation workflow. Running it from your own ad pipeline? The same generation is available over the CraftStory API.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI create UGC content?
Yes — AI can now produce UGC-style videos that look like a real creator filmed them on a phone. Tools like CraftStory turn one photo and a script into talking creator videos with lip-sync and gestures, so brands generate authentic-feeling content without filming anything.
Is AI UGC legal?
Yes, creating and running AI UGC is legal. Use AI creators you have rights to (CraftStory's 100+ actors are licensed for commercial use), never clone a real person's face or voice without consent, and follow platform rules — TikTok and Meta ask you to label AI-generated content.
Which AI is best for UGC videos?
It depends on length and realism. Short 15-second hook ads work in most ad tools; CraftStory stands out when you need hyper-realistic creators, your own custom avatar, videos beyond a minute (up to 30 minutes), and a free plan to test hooks before paying.
How to make AI UGC for free?
Sign up for CraftStory's free plan (no card required), pick one of 100+ AI creators or upload a photo, paste your hook and script, and generate. The free credits cover your first videos — enough to test several hooks before spending anything.
