• Automation enthusiasts building no-code AI video generation systems
• Marketing teams testing multiple product angles and styles efficiently

⚙️ How It Works

1. Manual Trigger
   Run the workflow manually to start video generation for one product entry at a time.
2. 📄 Google Sheets Integration
   The workflow reads product info (Name, Prompt, Image Link, Processed Status) and fetches one unprocessed row.
3. 🤖 AI Prompt Engineering (via OpenAI)
   The AI Agent uses a custom system message to act as a video prompt engineer, designing rich cinematic or UGC-style prompts for Sora 2.
   • It researches trends and related product insights through Tavily
   • Describes detailed scene, tone, lighting, camera motion , and emotion
   • Adapts to either cinematic or handheld influencer style automatically
4. 🎬 Sora 2 Video Generation (Kie.ai API)
   The refined video prompt and product image are sent to Kie.ai Sora 2 to create a 10-second portrait video.
5. ⏳ Progress Monitoring
   A Wait node (15 s) plus a Switch node checks the generation status:
   • ✅ Success → Save video link
   • ⚠️ 500 Error → Log error message
   • 🔁 Pending → Loop back to wait and recheck
6. 🗂️ Save to Google Sheets
   Once successful, the workflow updates your CRM sheet with:
   • Video Link (no watermark)
   • Processed = “Yes”
