## How do I launch a product ad set?

Start with brand identity, run a Campaign to generate variants, polish winners in Studio, resize for every placement, then schedule and measure.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Onboard or refresh brand identity">
    Upload your logo, color palette, and brand fonts under **Brands**. If the brand already exists, confirm assets are current before the campaign run.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run a Campaign">
    Choose **AI-only** for fully generated variants or **with-assets** to anchor on uploaded product images. Set your brief and let Creative Studio produce the initial set.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit winners in Studio">
    Open top-performing variants in Studio. Swap copy, adjust layers, or add motion. Keep the originals as references so you can A/B compare.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Brand-pack all sizes">
    Use **Brand Pack** to resize your hero creative into every placement — Instagram feed, story, 300×250 display, and more — in one go.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Schedule organic teasers">
    Queue teaser posts through Scheduler before launch day. After the campaign goes live, pull Insights data to inform paid boost decisions.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How do I turn a URL into a product video?

URL to Video scrapes a product page, builds a script and voiceover, and renders a ready-to-post video in minutes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open URL to Video">
    Navigate to **URL to Video** in Creative Studio and paste the product page URL.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm media, script, and voice">
    Review the auto-extracted product images, edit the generated script if needed, and pick a voice from the available text-to-speech options.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Render and download">
    Click **Render**. Once complete, download the video or send it directly to Scheduler.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optional: schedule or score">
    Queue it in **Scheduler**, or run `score_creative` via MCP to get a predictive ad-performance score before boosting spend.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How do I maintain an always-on social presence?

Connect social accounts once, produce creatives in Studio or Campaigns, add captions, and keep the Scheduler calendar filled two weeks ahead.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your social accounts">
    Go to **Scheduler → Connect accounts** and authenticate each platform (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Produce stills in Studio or Campaigns">
    Use Studio for single, high-polish assets or Campaigns for batch variant generation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate captions">
    For each creative, click **Generate caption** and choose the target platform. Captions are tailored to platform tone and character limits.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill the calendar two weeks ahead">
    Drag assets into the Scheduler calendar. Aim for at least two weeks of scheduled posts to maintain consistent cadence without manual daily effort.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How do I run creative production from an AI agent?

Use a brand-bound API key and the ElarisLabs MCP server to drive the full creative pipeline — from image generation to caption writing to post scheduling — directly from Cursor, Claude, or any MCP client.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an MCP key for the brand">
    Open [your profile](https://studio.elarislabs.ai/en/profile) under **API keys / MCP**. Pick the brand, set an expiry and a spend cap, and copy the key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your agent">
    Add the key to your MCP client config. See the [MCP setup guide](/docs/connect/setup) for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other clients.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the production chain">
    From your agent, prompt the full pipeline in plain language:

    ```text theme={"dark"}
    List available image models → generate_image → generate_caption → schedule_post
    ```

    Or explicitly:

    ```text theme={"dark"}
    Call list_models, then generate_image with flux-2-flash for a neon city skyline,
    then generate_caption for Instagram, then schedule_post for tomorrow at 9 AM.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Monitor spend">
    Call `get_credits` at any time to check the brand's remaining balance and per-key spend against the cap you set.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Give each client (Claude, Cursor, CI pipeline) its own brand-bound API key with a low spend cap. If one key is compromised or overruns, the others are unaffected.
