How it works
From a brief to a finished commercial in five steps
Our first showreel is in production. Every example we publish will be a real commercial made with customcommercials.ai, shown with the brief and storyboard it came from. Until then, here is how one gets made. Nothing that costs money is made until you approve the storyboard.
Tell us about your product
Write a short brief: what you sell, who it is for, how long the ad should run, the feel you want, and the call to action, which is what you ask people to do at the end. Pick up to 2 AI spokespeople, realistic presenters who say your lines on camera, and their voices. Add a photo or clip of your product if you have one (uploading your own media needs a paid plan). There is nothing to film.
Get a free storyboard
The storyboard is a shot-by-shot plan: who says what, the B-roll (the footage that plays while someone talks), your product shot, and the end card, the last screen with your web address. Most shots come with a preview still, one picture of what the shot will look like, up to 12 preview stills per commercial. Change any line, move shots, or ask for a fresh storyboard. This part costs nothing.
Approve and pay
The storyboard shows the exact price for its finished length. Approve it and pay once at checkout, or use commercial time you already have. No plan, no subscription.
We make every shot
Spokespeople say their lines. Each B-roll clip starts from the still you approved, so the ad looks like the storyboard. A shot that fails is tried again and never counted. If a shot cannot be made after a few tries, we stop and your money goes back to your balance.
Watch it, fix what you want, download
The ad is cut together with the voice, music and your end card, in wide, vertical and square. Do not like a shot? Reshoot it with new words or a new description; about 1 reshoot per shot is included. Trim it, retitle it or swap the music in the editor and download every shape. Edits and re-renders are free, within the AI writing, voice and render time included with each commercial (shown on its page).
Formats
Pick the kind of ad you need
Seven kinds of ad, one way of working. Each page shows what we build, beat by beat, so you know what to ask for in the brief.
AI commercials
What an AI commercial is, how one is made shot by shot, and how it compares with a filmed shoot.
Video ads
Social ads for Meta, TikTok and YouTube that work with the sound off, delivered in vertical, square and wide.
Shorts
Vertical videos for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts: a hook (the first two seconds that make people stay), fast cuts and a short "Link in bio" at the end.
TV commercials
A 30 or 60 second spot for local TV and streaming, in wide 16:9, without the shoot.
Product videos
Product spots that show the thing big and close, with your own product photo as the hero shot.
UGC-style ads
Ads that look like a customer talking to their phone: one AI presenter, plain lines and handheld shots.
Launch videos
The video for launch day: the old way, the reveal, up to three features and where to get it.
What you get
What every commercial comes with
A finished ad, not a pile of clips. Every commercial mixes the kinds of shot that suit your story and arrives ready to run.
AI spokespeople
Up to 2 realistic AI presenters who say your lines on camera, in the voices you choose, picked from the presenter library.
Cinematic B-roll
B-roll is the footage that plays while someone talks. Ours is made by Kling 3 Pro or Veo 3.1 Fast, and each clip starts from the preview still you approved, so the ad looks like the storyboard.
Your product on screen
Pick one photo or clip of your product from your media library in the brief, and it becomes the product shot (uploading your own media needs a paid plan). No photo? A generated product shot follows your description.
A voice and music
An AI voice from ElevenLabs, cleared for commercial use, and a music bed under it. On a paid plan, your own cloned voice (with your recorded consent) or your own music track.
Three shapes, 1080p
Wide 16:9 for TV and YouTube, vertical 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, square 1:1 for feeds. All from one approval, never watermarked.
Reshoots included
A reshoot makes one shot again with new words or a new description. Reshoots are included up to an allowance shown on the commercial's page; past it, a reshoot shows its price before it runs. Shots that fail are tried again and never counted.
Free edits and re-renders
Trim it, retitle it or swap the music in the editor, then download every shape. Edits and re-renders after delivery cost nothing, within the AI writing, voice and render time included with each commercial (shown on its page).
YouTube, dubbing and an API
Upload straight to YouTube from the app on a plan that includes integrations. Dub the finished ad into another language, paid in credits after it renders. Order and approve commercials through the API.
Pricing
Pay once for the finished ad. The storyboard is free.

Who it's for
Made for startups, stores, apps and local businesses
The brief asks what you sell, who buys it and what you want them to do. The storyboard plans the shots around that.
SaaS
Show the problem, the product on screen and the result, then ask for the sign-up.
E-commerce
Hero shots, the product in use, an offer and a buy-now end card.
Apps
The moment the app helps, your real screens, and a download ask.
Restaurants
The food up close, the room, the welcome and where to find you.
Real estate
A spokesperson who says it plainly, the neighborhood, and a clear next step.
Fitness
Energy in the first seconds, the result people want, and an offer.
Local services
The problem, the fix, your name and number. No film crew.
Agencies
Make them for your clients
Each client gets a workspace with its own media. Share pages carry your name or theirs, on your own domain, and the ad never carries ours. Order and approve through the API.
Thinking about a film crew instead?
A production company brings real people, real places and a crew day. An AI commercial brings a storyboard you approve before you spend anything, a set price for the finished length and three shapes from one approval. We lay out what you keep and what you give up.

Questions
What is an AI commercial?
A finished ad whose people, places and shots are made by AI models from a storyboard you approve, instead of filmed. Ours uses AI spokespeople (realistic presenters who say your lines on camera), cinematic B-roll (the footage between the talking), an AI voice and music, delivered in wide, vertical and square.
How much does an AI commercial cost?
Here, a commercial is priced by its format and finished length, from 6 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds. The storyboard is free and shows the exact price before anyone pays. Commercials are not taking new orders yet; email support@customcommercials.ai to hear when they open.
Is the storyboard really free?
Yes. The storyboard, its preview stills and a set number of rewrites cost nothing, and nothing that costs money is made until you approve it. You see the exact price for the finished length before you approve.
What do I need to give you?
A short brief: what your product is, who it is for, how long the commercial should be, the tone, and the call to action and web address to end on. You pick the AI spokespeople and their voices, and you can add your own product photo or clip. There is nothing to film.
Can I run it as a paid ad on TV, YouTube or Meta?
Yes. The finished commercial is your content under our Terms of Service, so download it and run it where you choose. Check each platform's or station's own rules, make sure you have the rights to anything you add, such as logos, and read the AI-written script before you publish.
Do you make how-to or training videos?
No. Our sister product howtovideos.ai makes how-to videos, written guides and help centers. We make ads.
