AutoShort

Product demo and ad shorts from a product page

Give the assistant a public product page. AutoShort reads the page, writes the ad and makes editable scenes. You decide, before any credits are spent, what the ad may say.

Who it is for

  • Shop owners with a public product page who need a short ad for it.
  • Makers of apps and tools who want a quick demo-style short.
  • Anyone who wants to price the ad first and read what it claims before it goes out.

What AutoShort does for this

  • autoshort_generate_product_ad takes a public product page URL, extracts the product details and images, writes the ad and creates editable scenes. It costs at least 40 credits, and the exact quote is checked before the page is fetched.
  • autoshort_estimate_cost quotes it for free. Rendering is asynchronous; the assistant polls autoshort_get_video until it is done.
  • Prefer your own photos and your own script? autoshort_draft_video takes image_url per scene (up to 6 public https pictures), shows them with a slow zoom and keeps your narration verbatim.
  • Making a demo for your own app? The Silent UGC tools make a short, silent promo around your screen recording. An honesty filter drops income promises, testimonial statistics and speed claims the app cannot back up.
  • A ready product-ad template is on the templates page.

Not run: costs credits

A 30-second ad made from your own public product page

Paste this into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Gemini CLI once AutoShort is connected. It is the library prompt Product ad from a product page URL with the bracketed parts filled in.

Use the AutoShort tools to make a product ad from this public product page: [PRODUCT PAGE URL].
First call autoshort_estimate_cost for autoshort_generate_product_ad with url [PRODUCT PAGE URL], duration 30 and language en. Tell me the credits. If the number is an upper bound (it can include a premium voice), say so and also tell me the lowest price the tool description gives. Do not ask for a premium voice. This is the price check: the product page is fetched only after I say yes. Show me the price first and wait for my yes before any paid step.
After my yes call autoshort_generate_product_ad once with the same arguments (give it an idempotencyKey of at least 8 characters, and reuse the same key if you have to retry). Poll autoshort_get_video every 30 seconds until COMPLETED or FAILED.
Then give me the link, the scene list, and tell me anything in the ad that is not on the product page. I will check the claims before I post it.
Tools it triggers

What you get
  • A price quote first, then (after your yes) a finished 9:16 product ad of about 30 seconds. Replace the one remaining bracket with your own public product page.
  • The ad is written from your page by AutoShort. You check each claim against the page yourself.
Test status

What the output looks like

  • Silent UGC v3 (a silent promo for AutoShort itself)

    YouTube Shorts, channel @autoshort-org, 2026-10-27. AI-generated.

    How it was made: Made with our Silent UGC tools, not with autoshort_generate_product_ad: a short silent promo ad for AutoShort with a Vietnamese hook. It shows the ad format, not the product-page tool.

    Result: It had 66 views on YouTube at the 2026-10-28 read, with 87.8 % of viewers swiping away. Our own views are not excluded.

At least 40 credits (about $0.63 on the Starter plan, $0.80 at the $0.02-per-credit list rate). Ask for the price first: autoshort_estimate_cost quotes it for free.

Limits, stated plainly

  • The page must be public; AutoShort fetches it. Private or login-only pages cannot be read.
  • The ad is written by AutoShort from the page. It can say something the page does not support. Check every claim about price, discounts, guarantees, reviews and results, and delete those you cannot back up. Never add testimonials or income claims that are not real.
  • Do not use another brand's name, logo or characters. The content checks refuse copyright and trademark reproduction.
  • Generated or extracted pictures may crop or reinterpret your product. Check that the product on screen is your product.
  • Say the video is AI-generated where the platform asks you to.
  • The price starts at 40 credits and the quote is the amount to trust: ask for it first.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost?

At least 40 credits. autoshort_estimate_cost gives the exact quote before the page is fetched, and nothing is charged until you say yes.

Can I edit the ad before it is final?

The tool creates editable scenes. You can also make an ad by hand: write the script with the assistant, add your pictures through image_url per scene, and render the draft you approved.

Can it use customer reviews or results?

Only what is real and on your page. We would not use invented testimonials, and the Silent UGC honesty filter drops income or results promises and testimonial statistics on purpose.

What if the page is private or cannot be read?

AutoShort fetches the page itself, so it has to be public. The price quote is a separate free step that runs before the page is fetched, so you always see the cost before anything is charged.

Is the ad a real demo of my product?

No. It is AI-generated scenes and pictures built from your page. If you need a real screen recording, the Silent UGC tools can build a short around your own recording of an app.
