About My Ai Video Project

Hey Indie Hackers,

I’m building SeedAds, an AI tool that turns a product or website URL into a short video ad for TikTok, Meta, YouTube, or launch campaigns.

The idea came from a problem I kept seeing:

A lot of solo founders, Shopify sellers, and small SaaS teams can build products quickly, but making decent video ads is still painful.

You either:

- hire an editor,

- spend hours in CapCut,

- use a generic AI video tool and gamble with random outputs,

- or just avoid video entirely.

I wanted to make the workflow much simpler:

Paste a URL → extract the product info → generate hooks and selling points → pick a style → render a short ad.

Right now, SeedAds can:

- crawl a product or landing page URL

- extract product details, images, pricing, and key claims

- generate a creative brief with hooks and ad angles

- create short video ads in different styles

- output videos for TikTok / Meta-style campaigns

- support e-commerce, dropshipping, and SaaS landing pages

The positioning I’m testing is:

“Video ads for founders and sellers who don’t have a creative team.”

I’m still trying to validate a few things:

1. Is “paste a URL, get a video ad” clear enough as a value prop?

2. Should I focus first on Shopify/dropshipping sellers, SaaS founders, or agencies?

3. Do founders actually want ready-to-post ads, or do they prefer more control over scripts/storyboards?

4. What would make you trust an AI-generated ad enough to publish it?

The current site is here:

I’d love honest feedback from other builders:

- Is the landing page clear?

- Which audience does this feel strongest for?

- What part sounds useful vs. too hype-y?

- If you were launching a small product, would you try something like this?

Happy to share what I learn as I keep building and testing the positioning.
