Shhots AI

Shhots AI builds finished ad creative from a single product photo. Upload the photo, pick a format, and the engine composites an AI actor, scene, voiceover, and captions around the real product. Most generations land in under two minutes.

Paid social runs on creative volume. A media buyer testing properly needs 20 to 40 variants a month, and booking a creator, a studio, and an editor at that rate costs thousands and takes weeks. Shhots produces that volume from a plan that starts at $19 a month. The product stays photographically accurate because every asset is built around your actual photo, not a text description of it.

10,000+ marketers have generated over 1M ads on the platform.

What it makes

UGC video ads. Creator-style clips with an AI actor holding and talking about your product. 12 languages. Seven video types, three aspect ratios, 5, 10, or 15 seconds. Videos render in 1 to 3 minutes.

Cinematic product films. 10 templates for hero shots and brand films where the product is the subject and no actor appears.

Product photoshoots. Studio and lifestyle imagery built around the real product, for PDPs, catalogs, and organic social.

Image ads. 22+ templates covering static ad formats for Meta, display, and LinkedIn.

Auto-captions. Burned-in captions on generated video, the feature most users come back for.

Real Estate Studio. A promptless workflow for listing photos: correction, virtual staging, object removal, and narrated walkthrough video. Ships with an AI Staging disclosure label and an MLS Pack ZIP export for California AB 723 compliance. Available on Pro and Scale plans.

Ads Intelligence. Announced, not yet shipped. The engine reads the Meta Ads Library, identifies what is working in a category, plans ads against that, and generates them.

How it works

1. Upload a product photo. The frame must contain the product only, with no person, hands, or face in it.
2. Pick the output: UGC video, cinematic film, photoshoot, or image ad, then the template, language, length, and aspect ratio.
3. The engine generates the scene around your product and returns the file. Images take seconds. Video takes 1 to 3 minutes.
4. Download and run it. Every plan carries a full commercial license, so the output is usable in paid campaigns with no additional licensing.

Developers on Pro and Scale can skip the interface. The Shhots AI MCP server at mcp.shhots.ai exposes 7 tools, including shhots_create_product_video and shhots_create_product_image, so Claude and other MCP clients generate ads directly. Six installable Claude skills for ad writing, photoshoot direction, campaign planning, and creative refresh are published free at github.com/shhots/shhots-claude-skills.

Who it is for

• Shopify and DTC brand owners who need ad creative weekly and have one product photographer at most. Most paying customers are in the USA and UK.
• Performance marketers and media buyers who burn through creative faster than any freelancer can supply it, and who test in batches rather than one hero asset at a time.
• Agencies producing creative for several accounts against fixed retainers.
• Real estate agents and brokerages using Real Estate Studio for listing photos and walkthrough video.
• Developers and Claude users who want ad generation inside an agent workflow through MCP.

Pricing

Verified August 2026. USD, per month.

Plan	Price	Credits	Roughly	MCP access
Starter	$19	2,000	2 videos or 36 images	No
Pro	$49	6,000	7 videos or 109 images	Yes
Scale	$99	12,000	14 videos or 218 images	Yes

A video costs 826 credits and an image costs 55. That works out to about $6.75 to $7.85 per video and $0.45 to $0.52 per image depending on plan. Full commercial license on all three.

Models under the hood

Veo 3, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0, Nano Banana Pro, and ChatGPT Image 2. Model routing is handled by the platform, so the choice is a format, not a model name.

Where it falls short

Transparent and reflective products are the hard case. Glass bottles and chrome finishes are harder for the engine to isolate cleanly than opaque packaging, and those results need more retries.

Photos with a person, hands, or a face already in frame get rejected. Shoot the product alone.

There is no free tier as of August 2026. The cheapest way in is the $19 Starter plan.

Who built it

Rajat Dangi, a media buyer with 8 years on Meta across 70+ brands, built Shhots after running out of creative on other people's timelines.
