# AI video generation for short ads: a practical workflow

Many sellers learn AI video generation for short ads: a practical workflow the hard way. The sections below summarize what tends to go wrong and what to do instead, in plain language.

# Start with the bottleneck

Choose AI tools by the task that costs your team the most time: translation, image editing, customer replies, or reporting. Trying ten tools at once wastes money. Pick one bottleneck, test two tools for a week, and keep the one that saves measurable hours.

# Train bots on your real policies

A customer service bot is only as good as the answers you give it. Feed it your shipping, return, and sizing information, set clear hand-off rules to a human, and review transcripts weekly to fix wrong answers.

# Track cost per seat

AI subscriptions add up quickly. Keep a list of tools, owners, monthly cost, and renewal dates. Cancel anything nobody opened last month. Many tools change free tiers often, so check pricing each quarter.

# Use a curated directory

New AI tools appear every week. A maintained directory that groups tools by task—translation, design, video, analytics—helps you compare options quickly instead of following random social posts.

# Respect image rules

Marketplaces require main images that show the real product. AI tools are useful for backgrounds, lifestyle scenes, and resizing, but should not change the product itself. Keep the original photos so you can prove what you sell.

# Protect data

Do not paste customer personal data or account credentials into AI tools that do not offer clear data handling terms. Use business plans with data controls for anything sensitive.

# A simple weekly routine

Spend thirty minutes every Monday on housekeeping: check account health dashboards, review rejected ads or listings, confirm that payment methods are valid, and remove access nobody needs. Write three lines in a shared log: what changed, what broke, and what you will test next. The routine is boring, which is exactly why it works.

# How to measure progress

Pick two or three numbers that reflect real health rather than vanity: approval rate of ads or listings, cost per order after refunds, and the share of customer tickets resolved on first reply. Compare them month over month. If a change does not move at least one of them, drop it and try something else.
