AI UGC video ads for tech gadgets
Gadget buyers do not believe a spec sheet, they believe someone holding the thing and showing it works. Sepia turns one product photo and a short brief into a batch of 9:16 UGC-style video ads, each opening on a different hook, so you can test demo angles, problem-solution stories, and unboxing energy without booking a single creator. AI footage, AI voice, burned-in captions, and music, ready to push to TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
Real examples
Show the gadget in use
The fastest scroll-stopper for hardware is the device actually doing its job in someone's hands. Sepia generates clips that open on the demo moment, the charge that lasts, the noise that disappears, the mess it cleans, so the value is obvious in the first second.
Problem first, product second
Tangled cables, dead batteries, weak signal, cheap knockoffs that broke. Each hook variant leads with a real frustration your buyer already lives with, then reveals your gadget as the fix, which is what makes paid UGC convert better than a clean studio shot.
Test 8 hooks per launch
New gadgets live or die in the first week of paid spend. Instead of one hero video, you get a batch where every clip starts differently, so you can find the winning hook fast and pour budget into it before the trend cools.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to ship you a physical unit?
No. You upload one clear product photo and a short brief. Sepia builds the UGC footage, voice, captions, and music around that image, so you can start advertising a gadget that is still in pre-order or only exists as a render.
Can the ads show specific features and specs?
Yes. Your brief drives what each hook highlights, whether that is battery life, waterproofing, app pairing, or noise cancellation. Captions reinforce the claim on screen, which matters because most gadget ads are watched on mute.
How many ad variations do I get and what does it cost?
Each run produces a batch of 9:16 videos, every one opening on a different hook for clean creative testing. It is pay-as-you-go with credits and no subscription, so you only pay for the videos you actually generate.
