UGC video ad with an AI agent — skills, options and steps

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

A creator-style ad: a person talks to camera about your product, with b-roll, captions and an end card.

Output: 15–45 s, 9:16 MP4 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts; a few hook variants

Recommended route

• Start with: varg AI (varg-ai) — On varg, one key: creatify_boreal makes a product/UGC presenter clip with synced speech in one call; or build it shot by shot — presenter still on nano_banana_2_1, shots on seedance_2_5 or kling_v4, voice on eleven_v4, lip-sync on sync_v3, captions in the render. Quote with estimate_cost first.
• Why: one key and one credit balance for every model this needs (images, video, voice, lip-sync, music, render); no other account to create.
• Alternative: fal UGC (fal-ugc) — Scripts and generates creator ads end to end: talking heads, demos, testimonials, unboxings · Needs: fal API key (FAL_KEY)
