Ninja AI Tool

🥷 Turns One Prompt Into a Finished Video Ad

Producing short, polished product videos usually means juggling scripts, editing tools, voice talent, and a lot of time. For small teams and solo creators, that overhead often kills momentum.

Affogato aims to shrink that process down to a single chat prompt. It is an AI ad agent that turns your idea into a multi scene, studio quality product video in minutes. You describe what you want, and it generates the scenes, visuals, voiceover, music, and captions. You can then refine the result through simple chat commands or tweak the timeline in its built in editor.

Key features:

• Custom AI avatars that are consistent, realistic, and fully brandable

• Seamless product integration for demos, promos, and ecommerce use cases

• 100 plus voices across 25 plus languages with natural lip sync

• AI generated background music tailored to your video style

• Auto captions generated instantly and styled to match your brand

• An AI first video editor for scene level control, pacing adjustments, and quick clip swaps

• Straightforward, flexible pricing with plans you can upgrade or downgrade anytime

In practice, that means you can spin up TikTok ads, Reels, or landing page videos without booking talent or opening complex editing software.

Who it’s best for: ecommerce founders, performance marketers, indie hackers, agencies testing creatives, and freelancers who need fast iteration.

If you want to see how far a single prompt can go, start with a quick test project and compare the result to your usual workflow. One focused experiment is enough to tell you whether it deserves a place in your stack.

AI Tutorial

How to Build and Publish an Android App Using ChatGPT and Manus AI

My friend Awa K Penn recently posted a YouTube tutorial showing how to turn a simple app idea into a real Android app and publish it to the Google Play Store without writing code. Below is the exact process he walks through.

1. Open ChatGPT and enter this prompt: “I want to build a very simple Android mobile app. The app is called Daily Affirm. Its features include displaying one positive affirmation on the screen, a button to generate a new affirmation, a clean minimal design, and no login ads or user accounts. The app should have one main screen, large readable text, and a single button at the bottom. Please structure this app clearly so it can be built using a no code AI app builder. Do not add extra features and keep it simple. Give me a prompt to build this app.”

2. Review the generated structure, confirm it matches your requirements with no extra features, and copy the final app description.

3. Open Manus AI, go to the Develop App section, paste the description, specify that the app is for the Google Play Store, confirm the name is Daily Affirm, and click Generate.

4. Test the app inside Manus by tapping the button to ensure affirmations refresh correctly and the layout looks clean. Request layout fixes in plain language if needed, for example “center the button vertically.”

5. Create a Google Play Developer account with the one time $25 fee at Google Play Console if you do not already have one.

6. In Manus, go to Publish, switch to the Android tab, click Build APK, and download the generated APK file.

7. Open Google Play Console, select your app, go to Testing then Internal testing, and click Create new release.

8. Upload the APK file, add a release name such as “Daily Affirm test,” proceed through the steps, and click Publish.

9. Add your email address under Testers in the Internal testing section and click Save.

10. Copy the generated opt in link from Google Play Console.

11. Open the opt in link on your Android phone, tap Accept invite, then tap Install to download the app from the Play Store environment.

Your Daily Affirm app is now live in Google Play Internal Testing and installed on your phone.
