I built a 9-agent creative operating system on Melius that turns one KURA brand brief, product image, and problem image into a complete ecommerce campaign funnel.
The canvas runs a market researcher, creative strategist, funnel strategist, copywriter, art director, ad creative suite, landing page visual agent, creative QA agent, and video director, all orchestrated by Mel.
Input: One strategic brand brief for KURA, a premium stainless steel cutting board brand.
Output: Funnel map, ad copy, static ads for each funnel stage, PDP hero images, a QA-reviewed creative report, and a Seedance 2.0 motion video.
All in one afternoon.
This is the creative stack a solo founder wishes existed. Now it does.
Process Steps
1. Wrote the KURA master brief covering the product, customer psychology, brand voice, and funnel goal.
2. Briefed Mel to orchestrate a 9-node agentic workflow on the canvas:
- Agent 1: Market Research - mapped pain points, desires, objections, and awareness stages.
- Agent 2: Creative Strategist - built 3 campaign angles with hooks and emotional direction.
- Agent 3: Funnel Strategist - mapped creatives to funnel stages, audiences, and sequences.
- Agent 4: Copywriter - wrote headlines, body copy, CTAs, and text overlays.
- Agent 5: Art Director - created visual direction and GPT Image 2 prompts.
- Agent 6: Ad Creative Suite - generated cold, warm, and hot static ads.
- Agent 7: Landing Page Visual Agent - generated the 4-image PDP visual suite.
- Agent 8: Creative QA - reviewed assets for brand voice, visual consistency, conversion potential, and funnel fit.
- Agent 9: Video Director - produced a cinematic brand video via Seedance 2.0.
3. Refined each node by editing prompts directly in the canvas until the outputs matched the campaign direction.
Feedback on Melius
Melius made the creative process feel surprisingly connected. Instead of moving research, strategy, copy, visuals, video, and QA across different tools, I could build and understand the whole system on one canvas.
The node-based flow was the most intuitive part. It made it easy to see how one agent’s output shaped the next, so the process felt less like prompting one AI model and more like directing a small creative team.
One improvement I’d love to see is stronger history management. As the canvas became more complex, I wanted a clearer undo/redo flow or a way to revisit previous versions of a node. Version history would make experimentation safer and help users compare different creative directions.
I’d also love more canvas organization controls. For larger workflows, it would be helpful to hide nodes, collapse related nodes into one unified group, and copy/paste full groups across the canvas. That would make it easier to keep complex systems clean and reuse useful agent structures.
Overall, Melius felt strongest as an orchestration layer. The real value is not just generating one asset, but connecting multiple creative decisions into a repeatable workflow.

Project NOVA is a retro-futurist mobility brand reimagining motherhood through cinematic design, luxury innovation, and emotionally driven stroller concepts inspired by vintage visions of the future.
I really enjoyed using Melius throughout this project, especially how quickly the platform was able to generate outputs once I prompted the agent. What impressed me most was how much it could create from a single idea — it helped generate an entire brand world including branding, advertisements, visuals, and videos in a very short amount of time. As someone who used to spend hours creating decks and creative presentations manually, I immediately saw how much time a tool like this could save during the ideation and creative development process.
This was also my first time using a platform like Melius to build a concept from scratch. I still struggle at times with prompt writing, but I appreciated how Melius helped translate ideas into more complete prompts and visual directions, which made the process feel much more approachable and collaborative creatively.
One area I think could improve is onboarding and tool education. I would have loved more information or tutorials explaining the available tools, node types, and ways to organize workflows on the canvas. I occasionally felt a little lost while trying to structure and manage my workspace. I also wasn’t initially aware of how the credit system worked, so I ended up using a large portion of my credits during an experimentation phase while learning the platform and exploring different creative directions.
Overall, I found Melius to be an incredibly inspiring creative tool that made the process of world building, concept development, and visual storytelling feel much faster and more accessible.
My process
Began with the idea of designing a futuristic stroller concept that solved real frustrations modern mothers experience in everyday life, including navigating stairs, weather protection, storage limitations, and mobility.
Explored multiple futuristic mobility concepts before narrowing the direction into a retro-futurist stroller brand inspired by vintage visions of the future, cinematic editorial campaigns, and luxury industrial design.
Used Melius agents and multiple workflow nodes to experiment with visual styles, prompt refinement, atmosphere direction, and feature ideation while developing the overall world and identity of Project NOVA.
Iterated through different stroller forms, materials, silhouettes, and environments to balance futuristic innovation with emotional warmth, functionality, and stylish motherhood aesthetics.
Developed multiple concept models within the Project NOVA universe, including stair-climbing mobility, hover functionality, weather-adaptive shielding, and self-driving companion stroller systems.
Refined the final visuals and branding direction around retro futurism, blending 1950s-inspired optimism, cinematic storytelling, luxury mobility design, and modern motherhood.
Nice work!
So only one entry allowed but I did worked on a second flow to get my wits about me. This one was for a cream that would have a SPF and healing properties for different skin conditions all in one cream.
Forgot to mention in my initial post that I liked the agent drawing and adjusting the whole board when prompted with certain overall brand changes. The was very apparent and more consistent in this flow, and I felt it kept things pretty cohesive with generation.
Looks like nice work.
