From one Research Pack to ready-to-run creative
Every ad starts from research, not from what looks good.
Every ad traces back to research
Each finding is labeled verified, stated or inferred, so you know what’s solid before you spend on it.
- Verified
Four independent, unprompted reviews converging on the same guilt/relief language: “I don’t feel guilty about drinking it,” “a recovering soda addict,” “these have replaced sodas and I’m so thankful.”
A flavor-ranking review and retailer reviews - Stated
One sourced quote: “Root beer and grape soda selling quickly in our house.”
Slickdeals, a single source - Inferred
Pain level is moderate, not acute: a recurring low-grade “did I earn this” audit, not a crisis.
The run’s own reading, no source
What a run hands over
Prompts for your Statics, timed prompts for your videos, and Shopify theme files.
An image prompt for every Static
Each concept comes with its headline, the buyer it’s for and a prompt to paste into your image tool.
Before and after: “Cleaned every week. Grew anyway.”
A timed prompt for every video
The script, then a prompt for your video model with every line timed to the voiceover.
Script 1: “I clean this every single week.”
Theme files you drop into Shopify
Sections, templates and blocks for your own theme, with the steps to add them and the switches you can turn off.
A whole product page, built from Dawn’s own sections
The research step one-click tools skip
Product, competitors, customers and their own words. You approve each stage.

| Shopify page files | Sections and product pages | Code you write or adapt | Not documented |
| Images and video | Prompts to paste, or Generate on your Kie AI key (paid) | Your own image or video model | Made in the tool, on its plan's credits or quota |

Questions before you start
What does a run show?
The research it did, with each finding labeled verified, stated or inferred. Then the ads, each with the buyer it’s for and what it tests. Every pipeline and tool is in the trial, the Research Pack included.
Why do I need my own Anthropic key?
Every pipeline runs on Claude through your key. Anthropic bills you directly at their price, and Otto Lab adds nothing. Your key is stored encrypted on Otto Lab's server, and only its last 3 characters are ever shown.
What will the AI cost me?
That depends on how much you run, and Anthropic sets the price. You buy credit in your Anthropic account, and runs stop when it runs out. Generating Statics and videos takes the monthly plan or trial and your own Kie AI key, and Kie AI bills you for them.
Is the trial really free?
For 3 days, yes. Whop asks for a card, and you pay nothing until day 3 ends. Cancel before then and you are never charged. You still pay Anthropic for the AI on your own key. Every pipeline and tool is in the trial.
Why does a run take minutes?
It reads the market before it writes, and it stops after each stage so you can approve it. Runs keep going if you leave, so you can come back to a decision.
Will it make my ads perform better?
Otto Lab doesn't promise sales or ad results. Results depend on your product, offer and market. It gives you research with sources and drafts written from it. You check the drafts and decide what goes live.
Can I trust what it writes?
Treat every output as a draft. Every finding is labeled verified, stated or inferred, and it lists what it couldn't confirm. Check claims before you publish, especially in supplements, health, finance or products for children.
Do I need Shopify?
Only for the Shopify Builders, which produce drop-in theme files. The research, copy, scripts and Static concepts aren't tied to a platform.
Who owns what I make? Who sees it?
You own everything you create, including during the trial. Otto Lab doesn't train on your work or sell your data. Only you, your team and anyone you send a review link can see it. To make your work, it goes to Anthropic and, when you press Generate, to your media service.
How do I cancel? Can I get a refund?
Cancel the monthly plan any time on your Whop billing page. No email and no reason needed, and you keep access to the end of the paid month. Payments aren't refunded, so cancel before your 3-day trial ends if it isn't for you.
