πŸ“ Description

πŸ€– What this workflow does

This workflow turns Reddit pain points into emotionally-driven comic-style ads using AI.
It takes in a product description, scrapes Reddit for real user pain points, filters
relevant posts using AI, generates ad angles, rewrites them into 4-panel comic prompts,
and finally uses Dumpling AI to generate comic-style images. All final creatives
are uploaded to Google Drive.
