Seedand

AI ad generator for SaaS and B2B software

Software has no product shot. There is nothing to unbox, no material to show, and the thing you sell is a workflow that only makes sense in motion. That is why most SaaS ads default to a stock photo of a laptop and a claim nobody believes. Seedand builds from what software actually has: the interface, the problem, and the person who felt it.

Why SaaS creative is harder than it looks

The product is abstract. A physical product ad can show the object and let it do the persuading; software has to demonstrate a change in someone's working day. That is a narrative problem, not a photography problem, and it is why generic stock imagery performs so badly for B2B.

The buying committee is not one person. The user who feels the pain, the manager who approves the tool, and the finance lead who signs it respond to entirely different arguments. One creative cannot address all three, which means variant testing is not a nice-to-have here; it is how you find out who you are actually talking to.

Sales cycles are long enough that most ads are not closing anything. They are creating awareness that a category exists, which is a different creative job from a direct-response product ad, and it is regularly measured as though it were the same thing.

The formats this covers

LinkedIn Feed

1:1 · cut to 30s

Where B2B intent concentrates. Autoplays muted, so captions matter. LinkedIn accepts up to 30 minutes, but we cut to thirty seconds because attention runs out long before the limit.

Meta Feed

1:1 · cut to 60s

Cheaper reach than LinkedIn and still effective for product-led tools, particularly ones an individual can adopt without approval.

YouTube In-stream

16:9 · cut to 30s

The one placement where a screen recording reads naturally at full width. Five seconds before the skip decides everything.

How it works

  1. 01

    Describe the product and the problem

    The product, who it is for, and the one outcome that matters. A screen recording can be uploaded as the source footage if you have one.

  2. 02

    Pick the treatment

    Screen recording with callouts, founder-style UGC, motion graphics, or spokesperson. Set tone once and every variant inherits it.

  3. 03

    Export per placement

    LinkedIn, Meta and YouTube come back as separate cuts at their own ratio and duration, with captions burned in for muted autoplay.

Screen recordings that survive a muted feed

A product demo is the most honest SaaS ad there is, and the most commonly wasted. A raw screen capture at sixteen by nine, dropped into a square feed placement, renders the interface too small to read on the device most people will see it on.

The fix is not a bigger cursor. It is composing the capture for the placement: cropping to the part of the screen that carries the argument, adding callouts that are readable at phone size, and writing the hook so the value is legible before anyone parses the UI.

Seedand generates that treatment from a recording you already have, or from a description if you do not. The result is a demo cut per placement rather than one capture pushed everywhere and shrunk to fit.

Founder-style UGC for B2B

The highest-performing B2B social creative of the last few years has been a person talking to camera about a problem they had. It works because software buyers are suspicious of polish and responsive to specificity, and because a named human making a claim carries more weight than a brand making the same claim.

Most teams cannot produce that weekly. The founder has a calendar, filming takes an afternoon, and the result is one asset rather than the five angles you needed to learn anything.

Generated UGC covers the testing layer: five arguments, delivered to camera, across the placements you run. When an angle proves itself, that is the one worth putting your actual founder in front of a camera for. Using AI delivery to find the message and a real person to carry it is a more honest division of labour than pretending either does both jobs.

Writing for a buying committee

The user cares about the annoyance that ruins their Tuesday. The manager cares about the team shipping faster. Finance cares about consolidating three tools into one line item. Those are three different ads, and running one and calling it a test is how B2B creative budgets get spent without learning anything.

Every generated concept returns labelled with the argument it is making, so the test is legible before the spend. Problem-first tends to reach users, outcome-first reaches managers, and proof-first does the work when the category is crowded enough that trust is the blocker.

That labelling also makes the finding portable. If problem-first consistently outperforms, that is a positioning insight for your homepage and your sales deck, not merely a setting in your ad account.

Feature launches and category education

SaaS marketing runs on a release cycle. Every meaningful feature wants creative, and most ship without any because the design queue is full of something else. The feature announcement then lives entirely in a changelog nobody outside the product reads.

Generating a short set per release changes that calculation. It is no longer a question of whether a feature justifies a designer's week, because it costs a brief.

Category education has the same shape. If you are selling something buyers do not yet know exists, the first job of the ad is naming the problem, and that takes repetition across many variants rather than one polished explainer.

Who runs SaaS ads this way

Product-led tools testing top-of-funnel angles weekly. Seed and Series A teams with no in-house designer, where the founder is also the marketer. Agencies running several B2B accounts that each need creative refreshed faster than a studio delivers.

The constraint is nearly always the same: media budget exists, creative capacity does not. If your ads are not running because nobody had time to make them, that is the problem this solves. If you have a brand team producing considered work on a quarterly cycle and it is performing, keep doing that.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make a video ad for software?
Start from the interface and the problem rather than a product shot. Seedand generates screen-recording cuts with callouts, founder-style UGC, and motion graphics from a description or a recording you upload.
Can I use a screen recording I already have?
Yes. Upload it and it is recut, recaptioned and reframed for each placement, which keeps the real interface while producing a native cut for LinkedIn, Meta and YouTube.
What works best for B2B SaaS ads?
Founder-style UGC and demo cuts consistently outperform polished brand film for software. Buyers respond to specificity and are suspicious of gloss, which inverts the usual production instinct.
Which placements matter for SaaS?
LinkedIn Feed for B2B intent, Meta Feed for cheaper reach on product-led tools, and YouTube In-stream where a screen recording reads naturally at full width.
How many variants should I test?
Enough to cover genuinely different arguments rather than rewordings. Five angles across three placements is fifteen concepts from one brief, which is usually enough to learn who you are actually reaching.
Is there a free tier for early-stage teams?
Yes. Twenty-five generations a month with no card. One generation covers every placement you select, which suits a small team testing weekly.
