What if your AI workflow is the reason your brand still looks generic?
Q2 forced me to reset how I build everything creatively and honestly… I simplified it way down.
Right now my process is just two tools, but waaay more intention behind them.
I’m using Claude to actually think with me. I feed it strategy, references, and the full brand world, and it translates that into really detailed prompts. When you pair that with Nano Banana 2, you finally start seeing visuals that actually feel like your brand.
I stopped expecting AI to figure it out and started directing it like a creative partner.
That’s also why I moved away from MidJourney. The second you need anything brand-specific like real text, packaging, or logos, it starts to fall apart. It’s great for vibes, not for building real brand systems.
This workflow forces more clarity upfront, and the output is 10x more intentional.
Curious how everyone else is using AI right now… are you directing it, or letting it lead?
*Concept only. Not an official collaboration.
Well said, like i do say Ai doesn't have emotions but human does so which means it pours out whatever you gave to it. The right intentions to whatever you do bring tractions.
good talk
You are right
Also switched to Claude recently 10/10! 🙌
Fantastic one
nice product ever
awesome video Sabrina
This is the 'Shift' most teams miss. In data, we see the same pattern: people ask AI for 'insights' (vibes) rather than feeding it the structural logic of the business.
The output is only as intentional as the architecture behind it. Whether it's a brand visual in Nano Banana 2...
Wow, this is really nice
You explained this in a way that’s both practical and easy to follow.
Love to see AI used in a more collaborative way! This emerging technology has a lot of potential, if we can augment human talent instead of automating it out of the process. Did you see some of the legislation around using non-potable water and closed loop systems for cooling in...

My Creative AI Video Workflow:
Claude for creative ideation, Google Whisk for visual references, Flora for motion prototyping, then Runway or Veo 3 for final footage generation.
Each tool handles a specific stage of the pipeline, prototype cheap, generate strategically, then bring it all together in After Effects. The real skill isn't using AI for everything, it's knowing when traditional methods still win.
great flow! i haven't tried google whisk yet but looks promising!
Can you believe I built an AI agent that turns client emails into a structured creative brief automatically? 📮✉️
Client briefs are one of the most chaotic parts of the job. Vague emails, missing deadlines, no clear direction. I used to pull all of that out manually before I could even start thinking creatively.
So I automated it.
The agent scans my inbox, extracts everything that matters, and hands me a clean brief before I even open my inbox.
Full instruction prompt in the comments.
Grab it and try it yourself ⬇️😉
What if you could turn a simple product into a cinematic ad?
Creating high-end product commercials usually requires a full team, expensive equipment, and complex editing.
So I built Cinematic Product Reveal: AURA — a simple AI workflow that transforms any product into a cinematic advertisement.
Starting from a basic product image, the system generates a structured visual story:
Atmosphere (void & tension)
Energy build
Product reveal
Final cinematic impact
No actors. No studio. Just a clean, repeatable system.
In this demo, I used a simple perfume image and turned it into a sci-fi luxury commercial.
The best part?
This workflow can be reused for any product — fashion, tech, sneakers, and more.
🎬 Watch the workflow in action above.
This is really well done.
What I like most is that it doesn’t just look cinematic , it also feels like a workflow someone could actually build on and reuse. That makes it much more valuable than a one-off result.
