Use case · Collaborative ad creative on a multiplayer canvas
Ad creative is a team sport. The founder owns the brand voice, the designer owns the visual system, and the paid acquisition lead owns what tests well. Most AI ad tools treat creative as a solo console where one person prompts and the rest of the team reviews in Slack. Storyboards is the part of Avocado AI built for the opposite case. It is a multiplayer infinite canvas where the whole team works in the same live session, generates variants together, comments on the canvas, and ships finished ads without leaving the workspace.
The reason ad creative slows down is rarely the model. It is the loop. A designer generates ten variants in one tool. They drop the best three into Figma. Paid acquisition reviews them in Slack the next morning. Comments come back. The designer regenerates. Two days have gone by and the team has shipped one ad. For a DTC brand running a weekly test cadence, that loop is the bottleneck.
Storyboards collapses the loop. Every team member opens the same canvas. Generations land next to the brand brief, next to the reference images, next to the rejected variants from last week, next to the live comments from the founder. Decisions happen on the canvas instead of three tools deep in Slack threads.
The closest analogue is Figma. Designers know what it feels like to drop into a file, see the cursors of the other people in the room, leave a comment on a specific frame, and have someone else iterate next to you. Storyboards does the same thing for ad creative. The canvas is infinite. Cursors are live. Comments anchor to specific generations. The Lini agent sits in the session and holds brand context across hours, so the team is generating off the same brand foundation rather than three different mental models.
None of the standalone AI ad tools we benchmark against ships a multiplayer infinite canvas. Creatify, Krea, Artlist Studio, Arcads, and MakeUGC each lock the creative session to one user at a time. They are useful as solo consoles. They are not where a team aligns on the campaign.
A typical 7-figure DTC skincare team running a weekly test cadence looks like this in a session. The founder opens the canvas, drops in the brand brief, references three competitor ads, and writes a one-line creative direction. The designer joins, pulls in the brand-fine-tuned product model, and starts generating cinematic pack shots in different aspect ratios. The paid acquisition lead joins, comments on which variants look testable, and asks the Lini agent for one more variation with a different background. Everyone sees every change as it happens. The decision to ship a five-variant test set is made on the canvas, not in Slack at 9pm.
The single biggest difference from a Slack and Figma loop is that comments live on the canvas next to the asset they describe. The founder can say "this lighting is wrong" on the exact frame instead of on a screenshot in a thread. The designer can fix it and resolve the comment without context switching. The paid acquisition lead can comment "this is the variant I want to test on TikTok" and that comment travels with the asset into Compose, the built-in editor, when the variant moves to assembly.
Collaboration breaks down when the team has to leave the workspace to finish the ad. Storyboards keeps everything in one session. Voice generation, voice cloning, AI music, the Music Studio, AI UGC creators, Compose for assembly, and platform exports for TikTok, Reels, YouTube, and Shopify all live next to the canvas. The whole team finishes the campaign from the same session, without exporting, re-importing, or paying separate subscriptions for the editor and the voice tool.
The risk with multiple people prompting is that the brand drifts. Different prompters write differently. Different agency partners optimize for different KPIs. Avocado fine-tunes any of nineteen image models on your product line, and the fine-tuned model is the persistent brand identity that every team member references. The Lini agent holds the brand brief, brand voice, and brand visual rules in session memory. When the paid acquisition lead asks for "one more variation," the variation comes back on-brand because the agent is generating against the same foundation the designer used.
Marian (creatingadswithmarian.com) is the case study we point to for this exact pattern. Her client team used Storyboards as the live canvas where the founder, designer, and Marian as paid acquisition lead aligned on the weekly creative drop. The qualitative outcome was that creative shipped faster and converted better at scale. Read the case study at creatingadswithmarian.com for the full account.
We will not claim Storyboards replaces Figma for product design or replaces a full creative briefing tool like Frame.io for video review at studio scale. Figma is still the right place to design a homepage. Frame.io is still the right place to review a feature-length film with timestamped comments. What Storyboards does is take the lane in the middle that those tools were never built for: a live, multiplayer, AI-native canvas where ad creative is generated, reviewed, and finished in the same session. For a DTC team shipping weekly ad tests, the integration is the unlock.
Avocado starts at nineteen euros per month. Pooled credits cover image, video, music, and voice. Commercial rights are included on every paid plan. For a small DTC team running collaborative ad creative on a weekly cadence, the single workspace replaces a Figma seat, a video editor subscription, a voice tool subscription, a music tool subscription, and the AI ad generator the team would otherwise pay for separately.
The founder opens a new canvas, drops in the brand brief, pins three reference ads, and writes a one-line creative direction. The Lini agent reads the brief and is ready to generate against it.
The designer joins the session, pulls in the brand-fine-tuned product model, and generates cinematic pack shots in the aspect ratios the test set needs. Cursors are live so the founder sees each generation appear.
The paid acquisition lead joins, comments on specific frames the team should test, and asks the Lini agent for one more variation with a different background. Comments anchor to the exact generations they describe.
Voice generation produces the voiceover. The Music Studio produces a track that matches the brand energy. AI UGC creators deliver the talking-head clips for the variants that need them. Everything lives next to the cinematic generations on the canvas.
The team moves the approved variants into Compose, finishes the cuts together, and exports platform specs for TikTok, Reels, YouTube, and Shopify in one pass. The weekly test set ships from the same session it was conceived in.
Storyboards is a multiplayer infinite canvas where founder, designer, and paid acquisition lead all work in the same live session. None of the standalone AI ad tools we benchmark against (Creatify, Krea, Artlist Studio, Arcads, MakeUGC) ships a multiplayer canvas. They are solo consoles. Storyboards is where the team aligns on the campaign.
That is the closest analogue. The canvas is infinite, cursors are live, comments anchor to specific generations, and multiple team members iterate next to each other. The difference from Figma is that Storyboards is AI-native. The Lini agent sits in the session, holds brand context, and generates new variations on demand.
For a 7-figure DTC brand on a weekly test cadence, a typical session has the founder writing creative direction, the designer generating cinematic pack shots from the brand-fine-tuned product model, and the paid acquisition lead commenting on which variants look testable. The Lini agent is always in the room.
Comments anchor to the specific generation they describe. The founder leaves feedback on the exact frame, not on a screenshot in Slack. The designer iterates next to the comment and resolves it in place. Comments travel with the asset when it moves into Compose for assembly.
Yes. Avocado fine-tunes any of nineteen image models on your product line, and the fine-tuned model is the persistent brand identity that every team member references. The Lini agent holds the brand brief and brand voice in session memory, so variations stay on-brand regardless of who asked for them.
Yes. AI UGC creators, voice generation, voice cloning, the Music Studio, and Compose for final assembly all live next to the canvas. The team finishes the campaign in one session and exports platform specs for TikTok, Reels, YouTube, and Shopify without leaving the workspace.
Avocado starts at nineteen euros per month with pooled credits across image, video, music, and voice, and commercial rights included on every paid plan. The single workspace replaces a Figma seat, a separate video editor, voice and music subscriptions, and a separate AI ad generator.
