Product Introduction
- Definition: Key Visual is an AI-powered creative automation platform (technical category: headless CMS + Figma-integrated design tool) that dynamically generates marketing assets like images and videos.
- Core Value Proposition: It eliminates manual design-dev handoffs by syncing live data from CMS/APIs with Figma design systems, enabling automated, on-brand content creation at scale for marketing teams.
Main Features
- Figma Design System Sync: Directly imports Figma components, variables, colors, and typography. Real-time synchronization ensures brand consistency; changes in Figma auto-update all connected creatives. Uses REST API for bidirectional data flow.
- Headless CMS + API Integration: Connects to external data sources (Notion, Airtable, spreadsheets) via webhooks. Triggers auto-generated content when data changes (e.g., new product launches). Supports cron jobs for scheduled content generation.
- AI-Powered Creative Variations: Generates multiple design variants (layouts, animations) from one template using constrained AI. Trains on brand guidelines to ensure outputs stay on-brand without manual oversight.
- Multi-Format Video Scaling: Auto-resizes videos for vertical, horizontal, and square formats using Figma auto-layout constraints. Renders videos with dynamic text/data overlays in bulk.
- Advertising Platform Integration: One-click publishing to ad platforms with metadata tagging. Unified workflow for creative production and distribution.
Problems Solved
- Pain Point: Slow, error-prone manual content creation causing campaign delays and brand inconsistency.
- Target Audience:
- Marketing Managers scaling personalized campaigns
- Growth Teams running A/B tests on ad creatives
- Product Teams launching localized promotions
- Use Cases:
- Auto-generating social posts when news breaks (e.g., via The Verge RSS → webhook)
- Creating 100+ localized product banners from one Figma file + spreadsheet
- Rendering video ads in 3 aspect ratios for Instagram/Facebook/TikTok
Unique Advantages
- Differentiation: Unlike Celtra/Smartly, Key Visual natively syncs with Figma’s design system (variables, components), while competitors require manual uploads. Outperforms Marpipe in API/webhook flexibility.
- Key Innovation: "Constrained AI" technology uses Figma components as guardrails—AI rearranges elements but can’t invent new designs, ensuring strict brand compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How does Key Visual maintain brand consistency with AI?
It locks AI to approved Figma components/colors/fonts, preventing off-brand outputs. AI only recombines existing elements. - Can Key Visual pull real-time data for creatives?
Yes, via API/webhooks. Example: Display live pricing/inventory in banners by connecting to Shopify or Google Sheets. - Does it require coding skills?
Marketers use no-code editor for templates; developers customize via API/webhooks for advanced automation. - How fast can it generate campaign assets?
Instantly creates 100+ variations after initial setup. Cron jobs auto-generate daily content (e.g., promo videos). - Is Figma mandatory for Key Visual?
Yes—it relies on Figma for design sources. Syncs variables/components for dynamic text/image replacement.
