Full index: https://varg.ai/how-to/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add `.md` to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the how-to page. From a terminal: `curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh` installs the vargai CLI (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli.md): `vargai search` and `vargai install ` with no key, every varg model after `vargai login`. A 1–3 minute scripted scene with a conflict and recurring faces; the product arrives late, as the answer to the argument. - **Slug:** `want-ai-micro-drama-ad` - **Status:** wanted - **Publisher:** frankyecom (community) - **Source:** https://x.com/frankyecom/status/2098795041187615050 - **Cost:** ~500–1,500 credits / 30 s (estimate) — Video at API list price (research of 2026-10-29): 30 s ≈ $4.71 on Kling 4.0 720p or ≈ $14.19 on Seedance 2.5 720p, before re-rolls; a 2-minute drama is about four times that. ## What it does A short drama shot like a vertical series: conflict in the first line, one or two locations, three recurring faces, burned-in dialogue captions, and more than half the runtime as story before any product appears. The product comes in as the resolution ('what is it?'), then a short product-alone end card with one call to action. It was the fastest-rising AI ad format on X this autumn; makers say drama converts colder traffic than song or testimonial ads. An agent writes the scene and shot list, locks the faces with reference stills, generates 4–8 shots with native dialogue and cuts them with captions and an end card.

Make it with the skills on the use-case pages below, or with varg directly. Example: https://x.com/frankyecom/status/2098795041187615050 How an agent would make it: Claude writes the scene (conflict line, turn, the product as the answer) and a shot list → character stills locked with nano_banana_2_1 or gpt_image_2_5 → 4–8 shots on seedance_2_5 (up to 15 s each, native dialogue) or kling_v4 (cheaper, 30 s in one pass) → burned-in captions and a product end card in the render tool → 9:16 **Models it drives:** seedance_2_5, kling_v4, nano_banana_2_1, render ## Example output https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/2098794818365493248/vid/avc1/1080x1920/eGeCwh1PpcMYUz--.mp4 — An argument at a licensing-office counter: the clerk says the customer looks too young for her ID photo; the product arrives as the answer, 1:45 in (credit: @frankyecom, https://x.com/frankyecom/status/2098795041187615050) ## More ads & UGC skills - [Ecommerce video ad skills for Claude Code and AI agents](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/ecommerce-video-ads.md): Product videos that sell on TikTok, TikTok Shop, Reels and Meta: angle, hook, format, script, rules, variants. - [Turn a product into scroll-stopping video hooks](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/product-video-hooks.md): The first 3 seconds of a product video: frame, line and text that agree, from a 70-line hook bank. - [Open-source alternative to Arcads: AI UGC ads](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/ai-ugc-ad-video.md): AI UGC ads with an AI actor holding your real product: face, voice and label locked, labelled. - [Turn one winning ad into a creative testing plan](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/ad-creative-testing.md): How many ads to test, what to change, when to judge, kill or scale — concepts Meta sees as different. - [Turn a product into a dropshipping guide reel](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/varg-dropship-reel.md): The faceless "comment GUIDE" reel: product hook, a marker pointing at cost and price on a laptop, a skyline ending. - [Turn product photos into a viral product hook](https://varg.ai/how-to/skills/varg-product-hook.md): Find a hook that already sells, then remake it with your product as phone or security-cam footage on Seedance 2.5. ## Run the generation on varg varg is one API key for the models these skills drive — Seedance 2.5, Kling 4, Veo 3.1, Wan 3, Nano Banana 2.1, GPT Image 2.5, ElevenLabs v4 and 200+ more — billed in credits, with a cost estimate before anything runs. - Any agent with a terminal: `curl -fsSL https://varg.ai/install | sh` (Windows: `irm https://varg.ai/install.ps1 | iex`), then `vargai login` and every model is a command — `vargai generate_video …`, `vargai estimate_cost …` (https://varg.ai/how-to/cli/) - Claude Code: `claude plugin marketplace add vargHQ/skills && claude plugin install varg@varg` (skill + hosted MCP) - Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw: `npx skills add vargHQ/skills --skill varg-ai -a -y` - Grok and any agent that reads SKILL.md: `npx skills add vargHQ/skills --skill varg-ai`, or point it at the skill's SKILL.md - Claude.ai, ChatGPT, any MCP client: connect `https://mcp.varg.ai/mcp` - API key: https://varg.ai/dashboard/api · Model specs: https://varg.ai/models/llms.txt
