I don't usually do this, but my good friend @jonmacdonald and his team at The Good are launching their new tool on Product Hunt today and it's worth your time, especially if you work in marketing or run customer research programs. Here's the TL;DR... Clipses.ai is an AI-powered customer research tool that lets you quickly analyze hundreds of customer interviews and extract the most important insights into shareable clips and commentary. If you've ever led a customer research effort, you know how time consuming it can be. Recruiting, vetting, (re)scheduling, and interviewing are hard enough...and then you still need to spend literal weeks of your life rewatching recordings or analyzing transcripts just to earn your right to present your findings to the leadership team. Clipses removes all of that administrative overhead and allows you to focus on what you're uniquely qualified to do. And it's built by a team that has been running research projects for 7-9 figure companies for over a decade. A lot of AI tools are just smoke and mirrors. Things that you could build yourself in an afternoon with a little patience, a few APIs, and a custom Claude skill. This isn't that. This is an example of AI done right. They've used their tens of thousands of hours of hands-on experience actually running research programs to build a highly specialized product that's excellent at one specific type of work. You won't get the same type of results running some kind of "DIY" process in Claude. I promise. So, if you know you should be doing more customer research (tip: you should) but the time investment has been the primary factor holding you back, you definitely need to check out Clipses. And if that's not you, I'd still be forever grateful if you could spare 60 seconds and toss them and upvote and a comment on Product Hunt. Check it out here: producthunt.com/products/clips…

@veedstudio Fabric

🚨 VEED Fabric 1.0 API The world's longest talking video model. Ship 5-minute long ads, demos, explainers, & more. Starting from just $0.08/sec. Comment “Fabric” & we’ll DM you access link.

@Vinrob +1 Would probably pay for this as well I don't think it's unique to SaaS either. Could use the same for an ecommerce client too.

Great productized service idea here Content creator as a service for SaaS - casual video feature walkthroughs, product announcements, blog posts, emails, etc Charge $1.5k to $3k/mo depending on volume Doesn't need to be super polished, just consistent

@rom1trs VOX

I built a Claude skill that makes Vox-style ads > writes the voice-over > breaks the ad into clips with timestamps. > Recreates the video with Arcads MCP in Claude Comment "VOX" and I'll send you the skill

Why doesn't a true mid-size truck exist? I love driving a truck, but I don't need a quadruple turbo-charged fuel injected V8. I haul lumber and mulch from Home Depot to my house. Full-size trucks are overkill. I either have to pay $60-80k to get the trimmings I like (along with a bunch of capability I don't need) or pay something more reasonable for cloth seats, 2WD, and manual windows. "Mid-size" trucks like Tacomas and Rangers can barely fit a car seat, let alone a teenager or a couple of adult friends going on a road trip. All I want is something that has: • Four wheel drive • A decent-sized bed • The ability to tow a small trailer if needed • A crew cab that doesn't feel like a sardine can • Mid-level finishes (ex: leather, GPS, back-up cam) • Priced under $50k Seems like such an obvious win for an automaker to create something that fits this model. A pick-up made for a family man rather than a single dude or a construction foreman.

@alexgoughcooper I'm down to try it if you think it would work for SaaS! Only reason I haven't tried Parker is concern about the ad account getting locked. Currently doing everything manually with Claude Code desktop + Meta Ads MCP.

Today we’re releasing to the most complete ad creative brain on the internet. Drop it into Claude Code, connect the Parker MCP and you've got a living, self-improving brain tailored for your brand. It includes: - 170+ docs of real creative strategy - API access to the Meta ad account, organic TikTok, customer reviews and ad comments - API access to public ad libraries Meta ad library with AI tagging and sort by impressions - An idea bank that refreshes weekly - And it self-improves every time your team uses ChatGPT/Claude Only available with the Parker MCP. We’re offering a free month trial of Parker for anyone to give this a try this risk-free. Who’s interested?

@ericosiu Interesting! Yo @RiversidedotFM. What's the ETA on rolling this out to everyone? I have a client (and active Riverside customer) who wants to start experimenting with it ASAP. Would love to get access if you're open to it.

@jamesrsowers It may not be public yet!

@ericosiu – Heard your recent podcast episode referencing the Riverside MCP, but I can't find it anywhere. Tried chatting with AI tools, Google search, help docs, pricing page, etc. Sorry to be dense, but is that a native option or something you built using the Riverside API?

@peterczepiga Dumb question from an ads N00b. Is this an official Meta property or something internal to Flighted?

The Meta Creator Marketplace keeps getting better and better. You can now select a Custom or Lookalike audience and see a list of creators with similar audience profiles. This is publicly accessible via the Creator Marketplace API. This means 10 minutes in Claude Code can build a dashboard that constantly uncovers new creators with audience profiles statistically similar to your brand. We used to DREAM OF STUFF LIKE THIS in 2019.

@alexgoughcooper Claude Code desktop app with Meta Ads and Higgsfield connectors plus API access to ChatGPT and Gemini image generation tools for better control. Still trying to crack the code on AI video that doesn't suck.

If you make ads, where do you spend the most time in Claude?

@iwo_cybulski merchynt.com/paige

leave your brand website link below & i'll make you a static ad for free ⚡

Yo @OpenAI! I accepted an invite to become an admin on an OpenAI Ads account and ran into a Google OAuth error that I can't get around. Went through support channels and got paired with "Kimberly," who turned out to be an AI agent that has been stuck in a recurring loop for days. Have repeatedly asked to be escalated to a real human with no luck. Appreciate any support you can offer here. Literally trying to give you thousands of dollars, but I can't because I've been locked out of my account for at least 72 hours. Sorry for airing it out in public like this, but there aren't any obvious pathways to self-serve or get some assistance from an actual human, so... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Don't believe the "one shotters" telling you the the new Meta + Higgsfield MCP connectors for Claude are going to revolutionize your ad creative production process. I've already spent 20% of the monthly credit allowance on my brand new Higgsfield account and these are the two "best" clips I've created so far...and they're awful. Not to mention the ~15 failed runs I had that weren't even remotely close to being production ready or the fact that these all still need to be stitched together in a cohesive narrative to be viable as a 60-second ad. I imagine it would take me a good four hours of vibe marketing to get a single video ad I'd be comfortable publishing, and I'd probably burn through my $150/mo plan to get there. I'm sure it's powerful in the hands of an expert. But if you're a beginner or intermediate user, you should expect to burn a bunch of time and tokens trying to figure it out.

@andrewjenningsx @jigsaw___studio Jigsaw

50 static ads. 5 minutes. One brief. This is the tool we use internally to pump 1000s+ ads/week for our brands and clients -> @jigsaw___studio Opening it up soon. Comment "Jigsaw" and I'll DM you a 50-credit VIP code when we open up. P.S. 1 credit = 1 ad. 50 credits = 50 ads ;)

@codyplof I've played around with it a lot, but I'm not an expert. One thing I've noticed is the images are significantly worse when I use Claude to generate through the Gemini API versus manually running them in AI Studio. No clue why.

Who has gone deep on static ad generation with AI? Shifting my sights to it and willing to pay $$ to someone who has to save me time. I'm building a Claude skill/workflow that builds JSON prompts that pings Open at/ Gemini API that way it can use all of our Claude infrastructure and data. Just want to chat with someone who is a master at gen image prompting.

Does it still create a new Claude Chat for pretty much every request? When I tested it a while back it generated like 25 new chats on my Claude Desktop app. Considering they have zero options for categorizing and organizing chats, this created a ton of clutter that made it hard to find my daily driver chats when I got back to my laptop. I know they have favorites/pinned chats, but a folder structure would be greeeeeat.

Remote control is a hell of an invention. And it actually works now. Like a charm. Like the new ux on mobile Claude code. Coding while my daughter is sleeping in the Whole Foods parking lot. Remote control on wispr flow is my favorite way to build Shopify features. Helps to optimize for mobile.

Sad to see Anthropic make the same decisions as potato chips and breakfast cereal... "We're going to give them 70% as much product at a 30% higher cost."

Going to do my own research, but do you know anyone who has shared the start to finish process of making one of these? Concept Storyboard Prompt Source Images Animation Stack Voiceover Final Edit I think I have a general understanding of what's required, but would be able to move a lot faster if someone (maybe you?) already covered the playbook.

More AI animation ads. I check hundreds of ad accounts weekly and every time I look, I find more examples of these winning. If you already make them, make them in more styles: - Pixar - Cartoon - Zachdfilms - Flat 2D animation - Claymation 3 angles for every style = 15 ads. Make a suno song out of each script and you double it to 30 ads. There's no way you don't find a winner if executed properly. More more more

@JMatthewMcGarry - Was just catching up on the podcast where you talk about Stardew Valley and indie games. You guys should definitely do a breakdown of Schedule 1! Lots of people considered that the game of the year for 2025 and for a long time it was entirely made by one guy who was super active in engaging with players on Reddit.
