NINJA AI TOOL

🎥 Fast, Custom AI Videos For Your Brand

If you’ve ever wrestled with the cost, time, or awkward logistics of producing user-generated content (UGC) for your brand or product, MakeUGC offers a streamlined, AI-driven shortcut. It lets you generate personalized, avatar-led videos in minutes—no actors, cameras, or editing needed.

Here’s how it works: you write (or use their AI to generate) a short script, choose from 100+ AI avatars, and hit “generate.” MakeUGC produces a talking-head video of your chosen avatar delivering the script—sometimes even holding your product, if you upload an image. These are ideal for marketing-style videos, testimonials, or explainer content.

Key Features:

• 100+ realistic AI avatars (with emotional delivery)

• Product-holding capabilities for showcasing physical items

• Built-in AI tools for writing hooks and ad scripts

• Multilingual support (29 languages)

• 20+ background scenes (e.g. park, podcast, home)

• Full content ownership—no usage fees

• Custom avatars and video hooks

Where it shines:
This tool is tailor-made for digital marketers, DTC brands, app developers, and agencies who need fresh content fast. Think: TikTok ads, product explainers on landing pages, or email embeds. It's particularly helpful when you want UGC-style content without the logistical grind of filming or hiring talent.

Who it’s best for:

• Freelancers crafting quick-turn videos for clients

• E-commerce brands needing scalable ad creatives

• Agencies looking to prototype or test campaigns fast

• Marketers experimenting with A/B tested video hooks

• SaaS teams promoting product features in new markets

One caveat:
While the avatars are impressive, they’re still not indistinguishable from real people—especially for longer videos. If your audience values authenticity over polish, a human touch may still win out.

That said, for speed, scale, and iteration? It’s a seriously useful tool.

If it sounds like a fit for your workflow, you can get started here.
