I just submitted my first commercial ever — made entirely with AI in 24 hours.
"The Snake in the Garden" — a 60-second IMAX-style spec ad for the Runway Big Ad Contest 2026. Generated with Veo 3.1 and Gen-4.5 on Runway.
It's not perfect. But 24 hours ago it only existed in my head.
Now I'd love your honest feedback:
What stands out — good or bad?
What would you do differently?
And: which AI video tools are you using right now?
AI video tools are moving at warp speed. Veo 3.1, Gen-4.5, Kling, Sora — every week a new model outperforms the last. I'm curious where you stand and what your experience has been.
I'm still learning. All feedback welcome. 👇

A client brought me a challenge: an AI video of a roofer that doesn't look or sound like AI.
Most AI videos give themselves away in the first second. The voice sounds like it was recorded in a studio, and the background is a flat, frozen image.
So I focused on exactly those two things. I made his voice sound like he's really standing outside, and I built a living background with real movement behind him, so the scene feels like an actual street.
It was one of those projects where the small details do all the work.
No crew, no camera, no location. Just a believable video that does its job.

I'd pick Violet Desk. Blue is what every SaaS uses, violet stands out and still says AI, and the orange sticky notes pop more against it. Does the hero chip row under the headline work on mobile?
