Real scenarios where marketing and product teams produce, manage, and distribute video content through AI-powered Shotstack automation.
A sales team wants to send personalized video messages to 200 prospects. A rep tells the AI Agent the template name and a list of prospect names and company logos. The agent submits 200 render jobs to Shotstack, each with customized text overlays and branded visuals. Hosted download links arrive as renders complete. The team sends personalized outreach without touching a video editor.
A social media manager needs five 15-second ad variations with different headlines for A/B testing. The manager describes the changes to the AI Agent, which updates the Shotstack template with each headline, renders all five versions in parallel, and delivers hosted URLs. The manager uploads them directly to ad platforms. Creative iteration shrinks from days to minutes.
After a product update, the marketing team needs a refreshed demo video. The AI Agent ingests new screenshots and screen recordings into Shotstack, inspects each file for resolution and duration, assembles a timeline using an existing template, and triggers the render. The finished video is hosted and ready to embed on the product page within the hour.
