Intention
Launch a simple AI tool and have fun exploring new tech and ways of open async collaboration.
Problem
For a Product Marketer who wants to test different value propositions using Facebook ads, additional effort is needed to write ad copy and create ad images for their Facebook campaign.
Solution
Provide different ad versions to the User automatically, after they input:
Product name and description Value propositions to test
Focus on Facebook ads format, where each ad has a Headline, Main Text, Description (often not shown), CTA text (chosen from a set of defaults), and an image.
We can use ChatGPT and DALL·E to generate different ad versions.

Execution
User Flow (updated Nov 3)
Visit the website and see a simple landing page, pitching the app/solution for generating Facebook ad ideas, with input fields displayed immediately on the page Enter information to give context for generating ads. Input fields: Product name: (e.g. Fooddoggo) Describe your product. (Mention unique selling points, e.g. Organic, nutrient-dense god food, sourced from local ingredients.) Describe the customer you’re targeting (Mention details, e.g. Sustainability and health conscious dog owners in Austin, Texas.) Value proposition (What might customers want to achieve with your product? e.g. Keep their dog healthy and brag to their friends.) View the generated ad(s), 1-3 by default Click “Refresh / Generate more” to generate new ideas
Thoughts / Suggestions:
Reduce critical path: Assume user KNOWS the value proposition they want to target. (If they need suggestions, we can enable later as an add-on feature.) Reduce API load: Assume the user has images of their product already. (IF they also want an image generated, ad as an add-on feature later - potentially behind a paywall)
User Persona
Product Marketer: Need to write ad copy and create ad images for their Facebook campaign to test value propositions and effectively promote and sell their products.

Decisions
What is the scope of design? → Focus on very simple page first, that works, and looks alright. Shall we propose value propositions? (WINNER) User KNOWS value propositions they want to test User doesn’t know about the value propositions they want to test, so they need suggestions How will we protect ourselves from scammers? (TBD) TODO
Optimize prompts until we’re happy with the outputs Tweak prompts and test results Add “main text” to ad results Add description to ad results Research best practices (also find examples) and test results Add structure for to follow the critical path Add copy to the page to explain what the tool is doing (later) Display multiple versions of images/copy Design the 1-page app based on the current prototype

Thoughts:
Reduce critical path: User should input ONE value proposition. Reduce API load: Output without images (add behind paywall?)
