TL;DR

Creative testing is often bottlenecked by real-world production constraints.

Generative AI eliminates that bottleneck, letting you quickly and cheaply test many directions—so you can see what’s worth real investment in shoots and post.

But AI isn’t a magic bullet: outputs are probabilistic, so errors are common.

The key is composition—chaining tools so results are deterministic when you need precision, and probabilistic when you want variety.

GrowthAssistant can embed a Creative GA to build this pipeline and unblock your creative testing within weeks.

🧑‍🔬 Your creative testing is bottlenecked by… CREATIVE 😩

Historically, getting creative assets into the market has been beholden to real‑world constraints:

• In‑person shoots, location bookings, moving lights around, …
• Casting talent, negotiating rates, aligning schedules, …
• Transferring gigabytes of files, keeping track of which versions are approved, …
• Specialists with experience using Figma, Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, After Effects, …
• Endless revision cycles with internal and client feedback until the project’s original purpose is lost

❌ RESULT: slow iteration cycles, expensive experiments, and a narrow range of ideas in-market.

But now, with generative AI, ANYONE can cook 🍳

(without waiting on all of those bottlenecks)

Within seconds, anyone can generate and tweak an image or video—no Photoshop skills required. You can validate what to make before you invest in how to make it.

… At least that’s what we’re told 💭

AI is powerful, but using it effectively still requires skill, experience, and intuition. It’s easy to go off the rails.
