Ad-Ready: AI Advertising Image Generator
Generate professional advertising images from product URLs using a 4-phase AI pipeline on ComfyDeploy.
Source: github.com/PauldeLavallaz/ads_SV
Pipeline Architecture
The pipeline runs as a ComfyUI custom node deployed on ComfyDeploy. A single ProductToAds_Manual node executes 4 phases internally:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ProductToAds_Manual Node │
│ │
│ PHASE 1: Product Scraping (Gemini Flash) │
│ ───────────────────────────────────────── │
│ Scrapes product URL → extracts title, description, │
│ features, price, materials, image URLs │
│ Also scrapes HTML for high-res product images (≥1000px) │
│ │
│ PHASE 2: Campaign Brief Generation (Gemini Flash) │
│ ──────────────────────────────────────────────── │
│ Brand Identity + Product Data + References → │
│ 10-point Campaign Brief (creative direction) │
│ │
│ PHASE 3: Blueprint Generation (Gemini Flash) │
│ ────────────────────────────────────────────── │
│ Master Prompt (funnel stage) + Brief + Keywords → │
│ Production-Ready JSON Blueprint │
│ │
│ PHASE 4: Image Generation (Nano Banana Pro / Imagen 3) │
│ ────────────────────────────────────────────────── │
│ Blueprint + all reference images → final ad image │
│ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Phase 2: Campaign Brief (The Creative Brain)
The Brief Generator is the most critical intermediate step. It acts as a "Senior Art Director" that translates raw data into actionable creative direction using a 10-point framework:
- Strategic Objective — Why this campaign exists (awareness/positioning/launch)
- Central Message — One idea perceivable without text
- Visual Tone of Voice — Register: calm/energetic/intimate/monumental
- Product Role — Hero vs co-protagonist vs implicit presence
- Visual Language & Brand Coherence — Non-negotiable brand codes
- Photographer & Equipment — Photography as concept, not execution
- Extended Art Direction — Styling, casting, poses, hair/makeup, layout
- Environment & Context — Where and why (conceptual, never decorative)
- Texture, Material & Product Render — How surfaces are perceived
- Final Image Signature — Finish, grain, temporal positioning
Without the brief, the Master Prompt must guess creative strategy. With it, the Master Prompt only executes.
The brief prompt template is included at {baseDir}/configs/Brief_Generator/brief_prompt.json.
Phase 3: Master Prompts (8 Funnel Stages)
Each funnel stage has a specialized Master Prompt that generates a production-ready JSON Blueprint. All share the same internal simulation:
- ROUND -1: Brand Identity Forensics (stages 03+) — Unified Brand Style Manifest
- ROUND 0: Fidelity Lock — Product geometry & talent identity are IMMUTABLE
- ROUND 1: Stage Strategy — Strategic approach specific to funnel position
- ROUND 2: Graphic Design — UI, typography, CTA engineering
The Blueprint JSON covers: scene production, talent lock, camera perspective, subject action/pose/wardrobe, lighting, product constraints, layout architecture, typography, CTA engineering, and brand asset placement.
Master prompt files are included at {baseDir}/configs/Product_to_Ads/.
Reference Analyzer
When reference images (pose, style, location) are provided, they're analyzed with forensic precision:
- POSE_REF → Body position, limbs, weight, gaze, micro-gestures → replicated EXACTLY
- PHOTO_STYLE_REF → Camera, lens, lighting, grading, grain → derived parameters
- LOCATION_REF → Setting, materials, colors, mood → similar but creatively enhanced
The reference analysis prompt is at {baseDir}/configs/Reference_Analyzer/reference_analysis_prompt.txt.
⚠️ CRITICAL: Required Inputs Checklist
Before running ANY ad generation, ensure ALL of these are provided:
| Input | Required? | How to Get It |
|---|---|---|
--product-url |
✅ ALWAYS | User provides the product page URL |
--product-image |
✅ ALWAYS | Download from the product page, or user provides |
--logo |
✅ ALWAYS | Download from brand website or search online. MUST be an image file |
--reference |
✅ RECOMMENDED | An existing ad whose style we want to clone. Search online or use previously generated images |
--brand-profile |
✅ NEVER EMPTY | Pick from catalog or run brand-analyzer first. NEVER leave as "No Brand" if a brand is known |
--prompt-profile |
✅ ALWAYS | Choose based on campaign objective |
--aspect-ratio |
Default: 4:5 | Change if needed for platform |
--model |
✅ RECOMMENDED | Model/talent face. Ads with talent perform much better |
🚨 NEVER Skip These Steps:
- Product image — Download the main product photo from the product URL. The scraper is fragile; always provide a product image explicitly.
- Brand logo — Download the logo from the brand's official website or search for "{brand name} logo" online. Must be a clean logo image (PNG preferred).
- Brand profile — If the brand doesn't exist in the catalog, run
brand-analyzerskill FIRST to generate one. Never submit with "No Brand" when a brand is known. - Reference image — Search for an existing ad or visual with a style that matches what we're generating. This dramatically improves output quality.
Auto-Preparation Workflow
When the user asks to generate an ad:
1. User provides: product URL + brand name + objective
2. CHECK brand profile exists:
→ ls ~/clawd/ad-ready/configs/Brands/ | grep -i "{brand}"
→ If not found: run brand-analyzer skill first
3. DOWNLOAD product image:
→ Visit the product URL or fetch the page
→ Find and download the main product image
→ Save to /tmp/ad-ready-product.jpg
4. DOWNLOAD brand logo:
→ Search "{brand name} logo PNG" or fetch from brand website
→ Download clean logo image
→ Save to /tmp/ad-ready-logo.png
5. FIND reference image:
→ Search for "{brand name} advertisement" or similar
→ Or use a previously generated ad that has the right style
→ Save to /tmp/ad-ready-reference.jpg
6. SELECT prompt profile based on objective:
→ Awareness: brand discovery, first impressions
→ Interest: engagement, curiosity
→ Consideration: comparison, features
→ Evaluation: deep dive, trust, proof
→ Conversion: purchase intent, CTAs (most common)
→ Retention: post-purchase confidence
→ Loyalty: emotional bond, lifestyle
→ Advocacy: social amplification, community
7. RUN the generation with ALL inputs filled

Funnel Stages — Strategic Detail
01 — Awareness
Goal: Scroll-stop, curiosity, brand introduction Reject: Generic "product on table" concepts Strategy: Dynamic camera angles, world-building environments, high-concept creativity CTA: Soft or optional Visual Hierarchy: Talent → Product → Optional CTA
02 — Interest
Goal: Sustained attention, introduce value proposition Reject: Abstract visuals that hide the product Strategy: One clear visual idea, believable micro-world hinting at use-case CTA: Learn More, Discover, See Details Visual Hierarchy: Talent → Product → Headline → CTA
03 — Consideration
Goal: Informed evaluation, reduce uncertainty Reject: Pure mood storytelling, vague emotional content Strategy: Communicate WHAT product does, ONE primary differentiator, ONE proof cue CTA: Compare, See Details, Explore Visual Hierarchy: Talent → Product → Key Benefit → Proof Cue → CTA New: Adds Brand Identity Manifest to Blueprint JSON
04 — Evaluation
Goal: Validate purchase decision, proof & trust Reject: Pure mood, unsupportable claims, visual clutter Strategy: One trust anchor (quality/legitimacy/authority), one proof cue (reviews/certification) CTA: See Reviews, Verified Quality, Learn More Visual Hierarchy: Trust Anchor → Proof Cue → Product → Talent → CTA
05 — Conversion
Goal: Trigger decisive action, remove friction Reject: New hesitation-inducing info, complex compositions Strategy: One hero (product), one action, optional micro-reassurance CTA: Buy Now, Get Yours, Complete Order (PRIMARY visual element) Visual Hierarchy: Product → CTA → Optional Reassurance → Brand → Talent
06 — Retention
Goal: Post-purchase confidence, reduce churn Reject: Hard-sell, urgency, price talk Strategy: "You made the right choice" + "Here is the next step" CTA: Start, Set Up, Learn, Track (guidance, not purchase) Visual Hierarchy: Confirmation → Next Step → Product → Talent
07 — Loyalty
Goal: Strengthen emotional bond over time Reject: Sales layouts, instructional tone, aggressive CTAs Strategy: "This brand is part of who you are" — habitual engagement CTA: Optional: Explore, Be Part Of, Continue Visual Hierarchy: Brand World/Mood → Talent (identity mirror) → Product → Brand
08 — Advocacy
Goal: Turn customers into voluntary brand ambassadors Reject: Sales language, instructional tone, forced testimonials Strategy: Signal belonging, create share-worthy imagery, enable organic sharing CTA: Optional or absent: Join the Movement, Part of Us Visual Hierarchy: Mood → Talent (identity proxy) → Product (symbol) → Brand
Creating New Ad Types
To create a new funnel stage or specialized ad type:
- Copy the closest existing Master Prompt from
{baseDir}/configs/Product_to_Ads/ - Redefine ROUND 1 with the new strategic objective
- Adjust ROUND 2 UI hierarchy accordingly
- Shift talent/product narrative roles
- Modify CTA philosophy and copy voice
- Keep the JSON output structure identical for pipeline compatibility
- Maintain the Fidelity Lock (ROUND 0) — product and talent are always immutable
- Save as
Master_prompt_XX_NewStage.json— the node auto-discovers new profiles
Key Evolution Pattern Across Stages:
| Aspect | Early (01-02) | Mid (03-05) | Late (06-08) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent role | Attention anchor | Credibility anchor | Identity mirror |
| Product role | Secondary hero | Evaluation hero | Familiar symbol |
| CTA | Soft/exploratory | Proof-led → Decisive | Guidance → Optional |
| Copy voice | Intriguing | Clarity, proof, action | Supportive → Proud |
| Visual density | High-concept | Structured, scannable | Editorial, spacious |
| Environment | World-building | Context-rich | Lifestyle, intimate |
Image Input Types
Binding Images (strict fidelity — immutable)
- talent: Face/body locked, no deviation in facial structure, ethnicity, proportions
- product_1-4: Shape, label text, material, proportions preserved 1:1
- brand_logo: UI/button style derived from logo geometry
Soft References (creative guidance)
- pose_ref: Body position replicated EXACTLY (spine, limbs, weight, gaze, micro-gestures)
- photo_style_ref: Camera/lighting/grading/grain derived (can be too literal)
- location_ref: Environment inspired but creatively enhanced
In the live deployment, the same reference image feeds both pose_ref and location_ref.
Brand Profiles
Catalog (70+ brands):
ls ~/clawd/ad-ready/configs/Brands/*.json | sed 's/.*\///' | sed 's/\.json//'
Creating new brand profiles:
Use the brand-analyzer skill:
GEMINI_API_KEY="$KEY" uv run ~/.clawdbot/skills/brand-analyzer/scripts/analyze.py \
--brand "Brand Name" --auto-save
The Brand Analyzer uses a 3-phase methodology:
- Phase 1: Official research via Google Search (canonical data: name, founding, positioning, vision, mission, tagline)
- Phase 1.1: Independent campaign research (10+ distinct campaigns via Google Images/Pinterest)
- Phase 2-3: Visual analysis → JSON profile following the standard template
Output covers: brand_info, brand_values, target_audience, tone_of_voice, visual_identity, photography, campaign_guidelines, brand_behavior, channel_expression, compliance.

These configs are the canonical reference for the pipeline's behavior. The actual live configs are stored in the ComfyUI deployment at ads_SV/configs/.
Known Limitations
- Product image scraping is fragile — always provide product images manually
- photo_style_ref can be too literal — style reference may be replicated too closely
- Some websites block scraping — provide product data manually when scraping fails
- Single reference = pose + location — live deployment uses one image for both
- Gemini hallucinations — occasional issues in complex reasoning steps
- No brief editing — brief is generated automatically; manual override not yet supported
