Hey AI Break fam 👋 Luis & Rui here.

UGC ads convert like crazy. But hiring creators? Expensive. Waiting for deliverables? Painful.

Today we’re showing you how to generate scroll-stopping UGC-style videos using just ChatGPT and Sora 2.

No actors. No filming. No editing skills required.

Let’s build your first AI-generated UGC video in under 10 minutes. (here is one example at first attempt)

Step 1: Prepare your product image

Before anything else, you need a clean product image.

What works best:

Product on a plain or simple background
Good lighting, no blur
Multiple angles if you have them (we’ll use these later)

Pro tip: If you have 3-5 images of your product from different angles, save them all. Sora performs better when it “understands” what your product looks like from multiple perspectives.

Step 2: Get a detailed product description from ChatGPT

Open ChatGPT (or Claude, or Gemini) and upload your product image.

Use this prompt:

Prompt 1: Product Analysis

I'm attaching an image of my product.

Product name: [YOUR PRODUCT NAME]
Product type: [CATEGORY - e.g., skincare, tech gadget, fitness equipment, food item]
Target audience: [WHO BUYS THIS - e.g., busy moms, fitness enthusiasts, remote workers]

Analyze this product image and give me:

1. A detailed visual description (colors, textures, size, packaging, key features visible)
2. The main benefit this product delivers
3. The emotional appeal (what feeling does owning/using this create?)
4. 3 scenarios where someone would use this product
5. 5 short, punchy phrases a real customer might say about this product (casual, authentic language - not marketing speak)

Be specific and detailed. I'll use this to generate UGC-style video content with dialogue.

ChatGPT will now give you a rich breakdown of your product.

Important: Keep this chat open. You’ll continue in the same conversation for the next steps.

Step 3: Generate UGC video concepts

Now we need creative directions for our video ads. Different angles work for different audiences.

Use this prompt in the SAME chat:

Prompt 2: UGC Video Concepts Generator

Based on the product analysis you just gave me, generate 5 UGC-style video ad concepts.

For each concept include:
- Video angle (testimonial, unboxing, day-in-the-life, problem/solution, tutorial)
- Scene description (where, who, what's happening)
- The "hook" moment (first 2 seconds that stops the scroll)
- The product reveal moment
- Suggested duration (5-10 seconds)
- What the person SAYS (1-3 short, natural sentences in casual UGC tone - like they're talking to a friend, not reading a script)

The dialogue should feel authentic and unscripted. Use filler words like "honestly," "literally," "okay so," "wait," etc. when appropriate.

Make each concept distinct. I want variety I can test.

Target customer: [YOUR IDEAL CUSTOMER]
The main problem my product solves: [THE PAIN POINT]

You’ll get 5 different creative directions. Pick the one that resonates most, or test all of them.

Step 4: Create your Sora 2 video prompt

Now we turn your chosen concept into a Sora-ready prompt with audio.
