§ 01 · The Hook
The bait, then the rug-pull.
When a 60-year-old woman loses her job and her daughter happens to work in AI, the logical next move is to open Claude and ask it one question. What came back was not a build-a-course template — it was a specific, researched plan built around one emerging opportunity almost nobody in her age bracket is touching.
Where the time goes.
00:00 – 01:16
01 · Hook and setup

Word for word.
HOOK opening / re-engagementCTA the pitch metaphor analogy
00:00HOOKWhat if you just ask AI how to make $3,000 a month? That's literally what my mom did. She's in her sixties and she just lost her job about seven months ago.
00:08HOOKSince then, she's trying to find a new job for herself, but she's struggling a little. So what we decide to do is we decide open Claude and ask this one question. What is the fastest and realistic way for her to make $3,000
00:21HOOKa month? We put every single background of what she'd done in the past, her skill set, her experience, and Claude gave us a plan.
00:29HOOKIt's not one of those generic plans. Building a course or build a website, you have to learn different coding skills, none of that. Claude gave us very specific plan for my mom to follow, and Claude also did a research of what are some of the companies that are actually hiring or looking for people in that skill set.
00:47HOOKSo in this video, you're gonna see exactly what Claude suggest to my mom, and you're also gonna see how she's working towards getting that $3,000 a month. I know $3,000
00:57HOOKmay not seem like a lot to you, especially there are so many videos out there saying you can make 10 k or 20 k, 100 k a month using Claude and do this and do that. But honestly, for my mom, we need to be a little bit more realistic and not set the goal too high where she gets frustrated with the whole system. Without further ado, let me explain what Claude suggested.
01:19HOOKSo Claude has given us multiple different things for us to start and try, but one of the thing that really interested both of us is actually AI UGC videos. So UGC videos is user generated content.
01:32HOOKInstead of making a traditional advertisement, you're making more natural content using AI influencer. It sounds odd.
01:40HOOKRight? AI is natural. It doesn't really go along, and I get where you're coming from because I've been there.
01:46HOOKBut if you actually read the trend, there are so many AI influencers or AI UGC creators that are actually on the Internet. I do think it's very important for us to say this is AI influencer whenever they post video.
02:00HOOKSo I get that. But what companies really care at the end of the day is they want attraction. They want that video.
02:07HOOKThey don't want just the views. They want those views to turn into actual sales. So that's the exact step of what we're gonna talk about.
02:15HOOKAnd how do I know this? It's because I get a lot of inbound lead from different companies asking if I can create AI avatar for their company and create different content. They don't actually care if real human's doing it or, like, fake human, which is AI influencer doing it.
02:30HOOKMost of them, what they really care is return on investment, which is, are they getting attraction? Are they attracting the right people so that they can turn into sales? That's what companies really care.
02:40HOOKBut one thing about AI influencer videos in the past, they all looked way too fake. It's funny because some of you guys said, Sandy, are you AI? Do I look AI?
02:55HOOKor AI avatars right now, after the C Dance two point o dropped, it's insane. The video quality, it's insane. I'm excited for Google to step up and get the next VO three point, what, three or 3.4 to come out because that's gonna be a game changer.
03:11HOOKWhether you like it or not, it is happening already where the Internet is full of just AI influencer videos. That's the new trend. That's where it's heading.
03:21HOOKSo in my opinion, we just need to adapt to that. It doesn't mean the human influencer or human creator like myself, we're not gonna go away. We're still gonna be there.
03:30HOOKBut also AI influencer is opening up those people for maybe introvert. Maybe you stutter a little bit, or maybe English is not your native language, but you still wanna be in this creative niche. So it's actually opening the doors for many other people as well.
03:44HOOKSo there's a lot of positivity in this. But here's what I'm gonna tell you. A lot of people right now, they don't know how to make a really good AI.
03:56HOOKMaybe they opened the CDance two point zero from one of those platforms. And when you try it, plug it in, you're like, this looks way too fake or this does not look good. Or maybe you even sent it in outbound, and they said,
04:11HOOKthis looks way too fake. This is not what I was expecting. Obviously, client's not gonna buy this.
04:17HOOKJust screw this. Whatever those creators are talking about, they're all lying. I totally get that.
04:22HOOKBut, honestly, I think you're just missing one step. So that one step is exactly what we're gonna talk about in this video. So make sure to watch the full video because if you skip one step, you're gonna generate one of those most generic
04:35HOOKAI influencer video that's not gonna stand out. So there's two different tools that we're gonna use for this very specific challenge. The very first tool that we're gonna have is Claude.
04:44HOOKYou don't even need Claude code to begin with. So don't worry about Claude code, just Clot. The free version is good enough for this first section of it.
04:52HOOKAnd the second tool is arcad.ai. I don't know if you heard of arcad.ai. They actually reached out to me a couple months ago to see if I can try their product and see if my audience will like their platform.
05:02And you know me, if it's not the right fit, I usually say no. But after trying Arcade's a little bit, I realized this is actually saving me so much time. Then I'll walk you through exactly how Arcade's work, like some of the features they have and also the pricing, how much it costs, and what features are worth for you to try to begin with and what features are just okay.
05:23So I'm just gonna be really honest with it. Although Arcad is a sponsor of this video, I'm gonna be really honest with you because this is a platform that my mom is learning right now, and she's not technical at all.
05:35So what you have to do first is go to rcats.ai, and you can log in or sign up. In this case, I already have my account.
05:44So I'm going to log in with my account. Now there are a couple different ways that you can do this. Whether you already have a login info or you just signed up, click this plus sign over here,
05:54then you'll create a new folder. And make sure to put the name right away as you're testing, you can just put test. But if you already have a product that you want to promote for your company or for your own product or for your client, then put the product name in here so you don't get mixed up between other projects.
06:10So what you need to do after that is click a plus sign over here, and that's where you could create different projects. So when you're in this page, this might be a little bit confusing.
06:20You're like, alright. How do I start? So that's exactly what I'll be showing you today.
06:24So the very first thing is I created this fake zinc oil product just to demonstrate for this video. And what you can do is you can just click talking
06:34actors over here. And when you click add actors, then you will see a bunch of different people in here.
06:41The reason why I chose ArcifAI for my mom, specifically for this case where she doesn't have any background of creating videos in general, but she does like to watch videos. So that's one of the reasons why AI suggested this is because they already have different influencers in our cats.
06:58So you don't necessarily have to create one for yourself and try it. Because I realized I've done that in the past for myself trying to create this perfect AI influencer for my product.
07:09That took a long time. And not only that, trying to make sure that influencer is saying the right stuff, you know, white with the right tone and just the voice match and all that also took a lot of credits for me even though that route seems like it's less expensive. I rather just have a template where I can plug and play, and that's exactly what this is.
07:29You have so many different AI influencer, and these are the AI influencers that company already tested and making sure they sound natural, they position naturally, and they did study already.
07:41So if you look at these AI influencer, all of them have different strengths. Their positioning is a little bit different.
07:48This guy is in the car, and this guy is in the, like, professional YouTube setting versus, like, there's a dog here, and then I see some of the pregnant lady over there. So they did a research.
07:58The company did research of real influencers to see where they position themselves, how they talk, what do they look like, and how are people attracted to this person. And based on that, they just put every single influencer all put together that you can just plug and play and use.
08:16But now if you want to create your own AI avatar, then you can definitely do that as well. You can use nana, banana pro, or you can use g p d two point zero, whatever you prefer when it comes to image generation,
08:29and then put that image in here for your AI influencer, for your specific company. If not, you can just put a prompt in here directly from Arcats,
08:38and it will generate it for you. So I'm gonna be very simple in here. Obviously, you wanna be a little bit more specific and play around.
08:45Let me show you example. I'm gonna say healthy young woman focusing on health and try to see if I it generate images. Obviously, you want your prompt to be a little bit more solid than this, but for the sake of this video, I would just want to show you what it looks like.
08:59And by the way, every single time when you generate either prompt, image, or video, it costs credit. So my suggestion is whenever you wanna create videos or image or anything like that, go to Claude and work on the prompt there and come back and copy the prompt here so that you're not wasting so much credit because .
09:18Alright. It looks like I got the AI influencer over here. This is what she looks like right here or another one.
09:24They all kinda look similar, but they're a different AI influencer, by the way. Let's just say I want her, then I would download her into different image. And then you can create your own avatar from image selection here
09:38and put that image in here. So health fitness coach
09:44turn into talking actor. I confirm. And this is saying that you are the owner of this image, in which, in this case, yes, I am the owner of this image because I created this.
09:55Now if you're getting the image from, like, Google and you want, I don't know, like, one of those actresses, like Emma Watson wanting to do this, then that's a violation. My suggestion is not doing that because those are, like, a deep fake videos. I actually personally don't like those.
10:12So yeah. You can actually make a connection with RCAD and eleven Labs, so you can do multiple different ways.
10:19Just choose a voice to RCAD's offer over here or make a connection to Levin Labs, which they have way more voice options. Now if you're doing this for yourself or for your client and they just said, you know what?
10:30Even though we're using AI avatar, I want to use my own voice to sound more natural. Then in 11 laps, they have an option where you can record your own voice and make a connection of your own voice to the AI influencer as well. So there are multiple different options to make it sound real, but let's take a look at Hey, you.
10:48Welcome to our pads. I'm one of the natural So I'm just gonna choose this voice. This is actually a super fun part because you get to use your creativity, and I I just love that.
10:57So let's just wait over here and see. It says it's gonna take five to ten minutes. Yeah.
11:01That's gonna take a little bit of time. Let's go back here and choose other actors other than your own actors. What you can do is just kinda look at one or the other, or you can choose an option.
11:11Do I want female? Do I want male? My suggestion is depending what your brand is, make sure that it matches with your brand.
11:20As an example, if you're selling, like, women's bra, Diane, you don't want men to talk about women's bra. Right? Generally speaking, a lot of women might resonate with another woman talking about it.
11:30Same thing with men. If your audience is focused towards men, like a men's barbershop as an example, then you want men to talk about men's barbershop and the gears instead of women talking about it. This is pretty common sense and logical, but I thought to just go over that with you.
11:44In this case, I'm gonna go with the female. I'm going to go with adult, or you can do young adults or seniors.
11:51Whatever your audience would resonate, then you can choose that. My mom's a senior, so she actually chose her, Nora.
12:00And just to let you know, some of them are pro option. Only pro users are able to use it, which is more expensive. But there are multiple different AI influencers that sound just as natural, and you don't have to have a pro plan to use it.
12:13And you can have different situations. But if you want that person to talk with coffee, yes, then this person's holding coffee or or, like, get ready with me theme.
12:24There's a lot. Not only that, you can also have emotions, whether you want this person to be, like, happy in general or more of a calm.
12:33The other thing that you can do is you don't really know what AI avatar might sound better, then you can choose couple different options. Like, I'm going to choose these three people and then click add actors. Then what you can do is let's just say I add the script over here.
12:48Okay. Now you have three different actresses over here, and this one is just a talking AI avatar. So there's they're not necessarily talking about your product holding it, showing it.
12:58That's a different tool that we're gonna talk about. But for this very specific thing, what we're gonna talk about is just them talking to you, like, as if I'm talking to you right now. What do you write in the script?
13:09This is the part that most people get stuck. This is where you can't open Clot. Now
13:15if you click see more over here and then type prompt, then Arcus AI also have prompt builder. So if you use prompt builder over here, then you ask specifically,
13:28give me a specific situation. What can my AI influencer say? They were, like, their scenes, character, mood, then you can ask them about that too.
13:37So as an example, let me show you. I have a senior AI influencer talking about
13:44healthy oil. But one of the thing that I wanted to mention is do you see this? It takes eight credit for the prompt builder.
13:51Now if you're one of those that I don't really like to use multiple different tools, Sandy. I just wanna be in one platform, then use this. Definitely.
13:59This is actually a really good prompt. It gives you different style. It gives you the camera setting, lighting, and the dialogue, especially what they're gonna say.
14:08This is not bad at all. I will say this prompt is actually really useful if you were to create a video directly. So that's another feature that they have, which is, like, a CDance two point zero.
14:20You're starting from scratch and then creating video. But my suggestion for our CADs, that's probably not one of the best ways to use your credit because in my opinion, the one of the benefit of Arcad is having a template that you can easily plug and play. So let's go back here.
14:37Generating video from scratch or prompt generation, they're good features. They work. If you don't wanna go with the multiple platform, you can definitely use it here.
14:47However, one of my suggestion here is go with Claude, and I specifically built a skill set for you. And this skill set is specifically for AI UGC videos.
14:57So what this is doing is instead of going into multiple different ways and randomly suggesting one script for you, it's actually doing the research. So one of my big belief is you wanna be authentic, obviously, but you don't necessarily have to be original. Getting a reference from other competitor or different creators,
15:16that's one of the ways that you should do it. Honestly, a lot of people who are successful, they're actually doing that. They copy from each other and make it their own.
15:24That's the important part. They tweak it and make it their own. So this skill specifically does the research for you.
15:30They go to Reddit. They go to Facebook ad. They go to TikTok ad, Instagram,
15:34YouTube Shorts, whatever they can find and grab those script that's working currently and used by other people. So this is what I said. I put the image of this oil, and then I talk about, hey.
15:45What are some of the things that my AI influencer can talk about? And it's given me three different scripts. Script number one, two, three.
15:53And for this specific one, I like to use the first script over here. For those of you who's already in my private community, I'll put the skills under resources and just click class skills by Sandy, and it should be in here.
16:04But for those of you who only wanna check out the skills, then email me directly, and I'll send that to you. Now let's go back here, and I'm going to copy and paste what the script has talked about. And I'm going to click this add emotions button over here.
16:17So this is one of my favorite part, adding emotion. You can add manually as well, or you can have AI just add it for you. So as an example, okay.
16:27I've tried, like, three different zinc supplement. It can be happy too. Right?
16:31Okay. I tried this, like, three different zinc supplement, but in this specific case, we're gonna talk about, like, ugh.
16:38That was disgusting type of thing. So this is disgusted and scratchy face, off wall face,
16:44excited face. So it's adding the emotion into it so that it sounds it looks more realistic. That's the whole point of view.
16:51And instead of generating right now, it says verify audio. What that means is let's go click the gear setting gear button over here. Then what you're gonna do is you're gonna listen to Nora,
17:04and you can just kinda play the speed a little bit after listening to for a while, style exaggeration, and just listen. Okay.
17:13So I've tried three different zinc supplements, and they all taste like metal,
17:20just awful. This one, it's in coconut oil. It actually tastes good.
17:26Alright. If you like the speed of it and stability, similarity,
17:30this is the part that you can play around a little bit and see, alright. This AI influencer actually sounds good. Alright.
17:36Listen listen to two other influencers too, and I'm only gonna pick one of them because if I were to pick all three, then it's gonna cost 2,400 credits.
17:46Okay. So I've tried three different zinc supplements, and they all taste like
17:52metal, just awful. This one is incoh What I can tell you is they all sound pretty real.
17:59Like, they sound really realistic, but I like Nora the best. So I'm just gonna choose Nora in this case. And they have couple different options for different models.
18:08RCATS one point zero or audio driven or OmniHuman.
18:12So let's do RCATS one point zero first and see what it sounds like. While we're waiting, we're also gonna use this OmniHuman 1.5
18:20and see what the difference is. So you get to see both.
18:25Okay. It looks like this is done, so let's check this out. This is the RCAZ one point zero option one.
18:30Okay. So I've tried three different zinc supplements,
18:36and they all taste like metal, just awful.
18:41This one, it's in coconut oil. It actually tastes good.
18:46You put a few drops under your tongue, that's it. No preservatives, no weird aftertaste,
18:51and it absorbs way better than pills. I actually look forward to taking it now, which has never happened with supplements before. The way that she talks, she just looks like one of those neighbor that I have.
19:03So I'm talking about, like, compare to remember the Will Smith eating spaghetti scene that was, like, really bad back in the day? And this in 2026, it's only gonna get better, guys.
19:15But I really like our CAS one point o option. And the other thing you can do, let's just say you want her to say more things, then you can actually extract frame here so that it's exact same setting. That's the beauty of this.
19:29So if you were to add a frame, then you can add a frame to this and just make this video longer so that she can talk about more things too. So that's one of my favorite feature as well. Or if you want this video to upscale and then make sure the quality is pretty good.
19:43And the other thing that I didn't mention is, let's just say you have this influencer over here, then you can click this little button and click audio. So instead of text to speech, you can do speech to speech, which means you're gonna talk, and you're going to have this AI influencer just kinda mimic your tone and
20:02excitement. So if you were to say, I never tried this oil before, and then influencer's gonna say in a similar tone.
20:09Or if you were to say, you know what? I hate zinc oil in general. Like, if you're soft, then this AI influencer will mimic your tone and the sound of your voice.
20:19So this sounds way more realistic. So let's look at this Omnihuman one point five option and see if this is better than the RCAT one point zero.
20:30Oh, okay. So I tried, like, three different zinc supplements, and they all taste like metal,
20:38just awful. That's how I feel about them. This one,
20:42it's in coconut oil. It actually tastes good. You put a few drops under your tongue.
20:48That's it. No preservatives, no weird aftertaste,
20:51and it absorbs way better than pills. I actually look forward to taking it now, which has never happened with supplements before. I think you might have a same opinion as I am, but it is Omnihuman 1.5 option right here.
21:06This looks way too fake to me, honestly. I don't really like this. I'm gonna be really honest with you, but I will go with the rCast one point zero if you were to use this feature.
21:14So as I mentioned, there are multiple, multiple different features. And I think one of the things that you can use to generate money is these tool preset feature. One of them is product showcase.
21:28So pretty much if this AI influencer were to sell this jar, whatever, like, whatever's in there, like peanut butter jar, then you can use this product and then replace your product in here. Let's use this as an example. I'm going to use this girl over here, remix, and I'll be putting my fake product and say,
21:49recommend this product. And if you go over here, click, then you can click ratio.
21:56Nine sixteen, that's for sure. So if you were to do 16 by nine, then that's a long horizontal just like YouTube videos. So in this case, I'm not gonna do that nine by six, but I'm gonna use this as an example to see what it looks like.
22:10But while we wait, let's go with another preset that I think it's gonna be really valuable is there's so many different ecommerce website that sells hats, that sells clothes,
22:20or anything like the gears. So you can actually select a template over here. Let's just say, as an example, we wanna look for somebody that's a little bit more
22:30realistic. Obviously, you can use your own AI avatar as well, but let's just say we're gonna use this girl and click remix. I'm going to put the clothes over here
22:40and click the button. Then this girl will change her clothes and use that.
22:46The reason why I'm even showing you this is because when I was looking for different jobs on Upwork, there were posts from fashion companies. They were looking for some images and videos they could use for their advertisement advertisement on Facebook. So this is exactly what you can do.
22:59You can say, just send me the high quality photos, and you will literally do this. You'll pick the avatar, AI avatar,
23:07and you will put their photo, their close photo, and boom. You generate the videos, and you can just sell that to those companies.
23:15Then that's the opportunity that most people in the world don't really know. And it can seem like everybody knows that because you're watching all these videos and people are all creating this, but only few people know this. Most companies and most people in general in the world, they don't know how to use AI, at least in 2026
23:35right now that we're talking. So this is one of the two ways that you can definitely use for Arcad. Alright.
23:41It looks like the video is done. Let's take a look at this. The first one was her holding the product.
23:46Let's see. I've been using this every day, and I honestly recommend it so much. It's become a total staple for me.
23:51It's easy to use, feels great, and just fits perfectly into my routine. So you've been on the fence, this is definitely one to try. Alright.
23:59Does this one the voice, I can tell it was AI, but what I was really impressed is actually, like, showing in detail of this product. This is not super perfect, obviously.
24:11The higher quality you have for these images, the better it is. And I can definitely work on the voice a little bit, but I really like the cuts showing different images and products. Just for one simple
24:22prompt, this is good enough for now. Imagine if I put much more time into it, it's gonna get even better.
24:29So let's take a look at this as well.
24:33Alright. The fashion. Did you notice that the AI influencers
24:37face has changed? Because I put Korean traditional clothes over here, so it kinda changed the Korean faces. It's kinda interesting.
24:44Wow. Yeah. Just to let you know, whenever you're choosing AI influencer, the setting is similar.
24:49Right? The vibe is similar, but the AI influencer's face could change for this fashion and also product demo. So it's doing this,
25:00yeah, just like what the other AI influencer did, just circling around and then looking at the view. That's good enough. So if somebody were to buy this, then they can tell, okay.
25:08This looks pretty good, and I can tell the front and back. So this is perfect for fashion, anybody who's into fashion. I'm also gonna talk about one other feature that you need to know for Arcad.
25:20That's gonna be a game changer for you and and super helpful to actually get some attractions. Because once you have ROI, return on investment for your product or for your client's product, they're gonna come back to you, and they will keep wanting you to generate more videos because you just help them to sell their product.
25:39So that's what we're gonna talk about next. The other feature is called hook repurposer. So if you go over here and just type hook,
25:47then you'll see this one, hook repurposer, and click that. What this means is you're literally getting the winning video
25:56and the format that they use, and you're recreating your video after following their format. Literally, everybody on Instagram or TikTok is doing this.
26:05You know, like, one of those viral dances and everybody's dancing the same thing? It's kinda similar concept. Or the hook.
26:13Everybody's talking about the same hook, whether they're cutting the apples and everybody all of a sudden is cutting the apples, and I've tried that for myself too is you're just getting the reference from other people to see what's working. The reason why I really like this is because you're not creating a thing from scratch.
26:29And if you're trying to be original and trying to create everything from scratch, it takes forever. And and remember, you're doing this for your client, which means they want to see the result right away. In order for them to see the result, you have to go off the reference.
26:43So one of the references that you can get, which is free. Right? There are multiple other platform that you can use
26:50for paid version, but I don't want you to spend any extra money. So this is what I would do. Their first option is you can literally go with Instagram or TikTok,
26:59whatever is performing well. You can see the performance on the in here. Let's say I want this specific style.
27:04Then what you can do is you can download this video, and ready to go is this website, snaptech.app. It's free, and literally just paste the TikTok link over here.
27:15Just don't click anything random in here, and then download it. That's it. So you can either do that or you can go to ads.tiptop.com,
27:23and this is where you can see all the winning ad. And for this very specific video, we're creating AI UGC ad.
27:31So what you can do is you can customize as much as possible. In this case, I did just The United States just to see if I can target this audience who's in The United States. You can do the past seven days, thirty days, or a hundred eighty days.
27:45But let's just say I want this winning ad over here. And what you need to do, just click it and save
27:54video as, and just save this video. So once you save the video, what you need to do next is
28:01get the video, put it in here, upload the video, and you're going to upload the image of your product in here, so the product image.
28:09And this is just one of the examples of HelloFresh. So I put the website in here. It's like, how would you describe your product?
28:15I just put the HelloFresh website in here to give you an example. But whatever you're doing for your client, if you have any,
28:23then put a very specific website of your clients, obviously. But as a practice, you can also do this. Or if you were to outbound,
28:31you can create the video before you send the email to them and then just say, this is what I created for you. Check it out. If you like it, let's work together.
28:39So this is what I put, and the things that I'm going to say is describe my product and
28:46promote it. And once you click this, then it's going to be 800 credits per video. And I actually already created this for you to see.
28:55So let's actually take a look at what this original video looks like first, and then I'll show you what this looks like next. I have extremely exciting news to share. If you've been following me, you know I have been waiting for this.
29:08HelloFresh finally brought back to HelloFresh honey chicken. I'm actually actually not.
29:13Okay. So I have Alright.
29:16As you can tell, she's using the exact same format. Right? So I'm gonna compare side by side.
29:22And this is a different AI influencer, obviously. Let's try to play it together and see if it's pretty similar.
29:30K? And just to let you know, if the hook is similar, that's the most important part.
29:35And you can obviously extend this video and then make it longer. You can create your own as well. Yeah.
29:40Do whatever you feel like it's the right thing to do, but at least towards the beginning, the hook. If it's similar, then it's working. So let's take a look.
29:48I have extremely exciting news to share. If you've been following me I have extremely exciting news to share.
29:56If you've been following me, you No. I have been waiting for this.
30:01Chipotle finally brought back have been waiting for this. HelloFresh finally brought that to HelloFresh living chicken.
30:09I'm actually not okay. Honey chicken.
30:13But I'm actually not okay. I at this point, what is AI?
30:17What is not AI? It's crazy. But this is my suggestion to you.
30:23Alright. I know what you're thinking. You might think, Sandy, is that exactly copying the same thing?
30:28Again, you can customize this as much as possible and do it. But just to let you know, lot of businesses, a lot of other creators, they get references. And this is one of the template and reference that you can use.
30:38And my suggestion is using this only for the hook. So you're grabbing people's hook. And for the body part, yes, you can customize as much as possible.
30:47One of the ways you can do that is click extend over here. Extend. And just describe how you want wish to continue over here.
30:57So that's what I was specifically used. The very last feature I wanna share is the API, which means you can connect arcas.ai
31:05with ClotCode and generate everything from ClotCode. Just talk to them and you can automatically set this whole thing up.
31:12So one of the ways that you can do is just click your logo in here, then click the setting button. You can go to public API and you'll get the client ID and the client secret. So you'll copy and paste this and then feed it to ClotCode and you'll have everything connected.
31:27So what that means is when you're typing and ClotCode will know exactly what you're wanting to do. But instead of going here and creating things manually, ClotCode can have a system
31:39to set everything up automatically. We can talk a little bit more about that in the next video, but I thought it's very important for us to talk about the basic features and the features that I'm actually using and teaching my mom to use to get her first client. Now I promise we're gonna talk about the pricing as well.
31:55So the starter for arcas.ai is a 100 to $10 a month, and that, more or less, you can generate, like, about 10 videos per month. And the Creator one is $220
32:06per month, and you can get the custom one. This is where you will have access to your API key, which is connecting to Cloud Code and have everything set up there. Now if you are a beginner like my mom, I would say starter is a perfect plan.
32:20The reason why starter is good is because you wanna get the feel of how this whole UGC world actually works. If you are UGC creator, if you already know how advertisement work, then go with the creator plan because you can actually work on it. But if you are like, I need to save time, Sandy.
32:37I don't have time to learn all of this. I know how it works. Then go with the custom plan and just use the API key so that Cloud Code can work for you.
32:46One of the reasons why I decided to work with Aircraft is because they had multiple different AI actors, actresses, and just a system and template already all in here.
32:57That's one of my favorite features of this. I hope this video was helpful. This is literally what me and my mom talked about in the past couple of weeks and try to learn this and make this work, and we're hoping to get her first client soon.
33:09CTASo we'll see how that goes. If you don't have any testimonials, one of the best way to find your first client is go to Upwork,
33:15CTAand you can find your first client there. Or you can even try the email marketing, but email marketing also have a learning curve, so I would wait on that. Going to Upwork is the very first thing that you can do to get your client fast.
33:29CTAHowever, one of the best way to get the client, in my opinion, is getting the inbound lead, which means people coming to you. How do we do that is I would suggest creating your own AI content system for yourself. And if you're curious how to set that up for yourself so you can save time creating content, make sure to check out this video.

§ 05 · For Joe
The one step most AI UGC creators skip.
WHAT TO LEARN
A generic AI avatar talking about your product will get ignored — the difference is leading with a hook format already proven to stop the scroll.
- Before building any AI UGC video, find a currently-performing ad in your product category and use its hook structure as the template — not the words, the format.
- Companies paying for UGC care about conversion, not whether the talent is human; frame every pitch around ROI and you remove the main objection before it is raised.
- Draft and iterate all scripts in Claude before pasting them into a paid video platform — every generation costs real money, so pre-refine in the free tool.
- Match your AI avatar's gender, age group, and setting to the product's target buyer; the wrong demographic avatar is a filter-loss before a single word is heard.
- For a first client with no portfolio, build one speculative video for a brand you want to pitch and lead with it in the outreach email — you have already solved their hesitation.
- The API connection between Arcads and Claude Code lets you automate the full pipeline — script research, emotion markup, and video generation — without switching tabs manually.
- Upwork is the fastest path to a first paying client; inbound content compounds over time but takes longer to convert.
