Hey IndieHackers đź‘‹
After our last post about how MinionArts was born from a pivot of MinionMinds (our earlier AI ops tool for ecommerce), I wanted to share what’s happened since — especially how users are now creating real product ads with just a few clicks.
We knew creators and marketers were spending hours jumping between Canva, Midjourney, CapCut, and ChatGPT to create just one visual or ad reel. It felt broken. So we built MinionArts to fix that.
🔧 Here’s how it works:
You enter a line like:
“Create a luxury ad image of a pastel-colored serum bottle with water droplets, for Instagram.”
Our backend figures out:
The best visual model (e.g., OpenAI, Ideogram v2, Recraft, etc.)
Whether it needs to be a still or a video (if it's a reel, we use Kling 2.0, Veo 2, etc.)
And we generate polished visuals—ready for your ad or client campaign.
🎬 What users are creating:
Before → After posts for D2C brands
Pixar-style product carousels
Handheld UGC mockups turned into cinematic reels
Branded poster ads for skincare, fashion, and even cafes
All in under 10 minutes.
We're seeing early users—small agencies, solo designers, even nano creators—get ads out daily without creative burnout.
If you're stuck between tools, or just tired of wasting time polishing visuals manually, give MinionArts a spin.
You can try all image + video models for free (3 creations) — and if you want to go further, use EARLY30 for 30% off the starter plan.

Would love feedback on what kind of ad formats or use cases you'd want us to support next!
