Most AI image/video tools are terrible for creators who actually want to grow on social media.
Not because the models are bad, they’re insanely powerful.
But because they dump all the work on you.
You open the tool and suddenly you have to:
come up with the idea
write the prompt
pick the style
iterate 10 times
figure out if it will even work on social
By the time you’re done… the trend you wanted to ride is already dead.
The real problem: Most AI tools are model-first, not creator-first. They give you the engine but expect you to build the car.
What we’re trying instead: A tool called Glam AI that flips the workflow: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/glam-ai
Instead of starting with prompts, you start with trends that are already working.
2000+ ready-to-use trend templates
updated daily based on social trends
upload a person or product photo
generate images/videos in minutes
No prompts. No complex setup.
Basically: pick a trend → add your photo → generate content.
I’m curious what people here think though. Is prompt-based creation actually overrated for social media creators? Or do you prefer full control with prompts instead of trend-based templates?
People are so allergic to AI content as well. I think we appreciate human-made things. Like chess, no one wants to watch stockfish vs stockfish but we'll watch high-level humans do it because they're human, we can relate. Even if AI is better.
I actually agree with this a lot — especially the part about tools being model-first instead of creator-first.
I ran into a similar issue, but more on the publishing side. Even after you create the content, you still have to upload it to multiple platforms, format it, schedule it, and repeat everything manually.
That’s where I think a lot of time is still being lost right now.
I ended up building something called VidShare to solve that part — basically upload once and distribute across platforms without the manual work.
Feels like the real opportunity is connecting what you’re doing (trend-based creation) with seamless distribution.
Curious how you see this evolving — do you think creation tools + distribution tools will merge into one workflow?
The gap is not capability, it is context. Creators need fewer decisions, not more power. Starting from what works beats staring at a blank prompt every time.
Totally agree. The real problem is that most AI tools optimize for "wow" demos instead of actual workflow fit. The ones that stick are the ones that remove a step you already do — not add a new one. The trend-template approach you describe is interesting precisely because it starts from what's already working, not from what the model can generate. That's a fundamentally different philosophy and probably why it feels less exhausting to use.
Totally agree with the blank canvas problem. We found this same issue with creators who have WordPress sites — they want to improve their actual website, not just make more content.
Most AI tools give you another thing to manage, but what creators really need is something that works with what they already have. That's why we built Kintsu.ai to work with existing WordPress sites through natural language chat. You tell it what you want ("make the homepage more engaging" or "add a pricing section"), and it handles the technical execution.
No prompts, no complex setup, just vibe coding with your existing site. We found creators care more about results than learning another tool.
The "blank canvas" problem is massively underrated. Giving someone a powerful model without context is like handing a chef a Michelin-star kitchen but no menu, no customers, and no idea what city they're in.
I really resonate with the idea of starting from trends instead of from the model. Focusing on ‘what’s already working on social’ first, then letting AI handle the execution, feels like a much better fit for creators who care about growth more than prompts.
Wow, you are bold enough to fight with biggest AI tools. Cool!
Congrats on the launch! 🎉
The “no prompt” angle is refreshing. Feels like you're abstracting away the hardest part of AI tools.
