Introducing Scout AI
Automotive brands are looking for a cost-efficient way to help them scale up the volume and variety of promotional images they can produce. However, there are a number of common challenges they face:
> Expensive 3D backgrounds and backplates are currently the only way to create the variety of content required.
> Sourcing and setting up backgrounds is a complex and time-consuming process that requires expert artists.
> Existing AI-based solutions are not viable for enterprise use as they do not use product-correct 3D models.
> Production can require high-end workstations and expertise in digital twins and 3D software to get started.
Scout AI, ZeroLight’s new creative tool, lets users overcome these challenges by blending Gen AI backgrounds with approved 3D models to create stunning static creatives.
Using text prompts, Scout AI users can generate custom static backgrounds for their configurable, product-correct 3D models to sit seamlessly within.
This empowers brands to generate high quality product images in minutes, while manually produced creatives could take days to achieve an equivalent result.
Generated backgrounds can then be saved as templates, allowing users to automatically swap in any product in any configuration, enabling myriad use cases to delight end customers at scale.
Scout AI has multiple creative applications throughout the customer buying journey. These include dynamic display advertising campaigns, personalized product brochures, and website or social media content that reflects the user’s local market or geography.
The addition of Scout AI to SpotLight Suite™, ZeroLight’s content creation platform, brings speed, quality, and ultimate creative freedom to the content production process.
