Open-source alternative to Arcads: AI UGC ads with an AI actor holding your real product. Casts a creator whose age matches the claim in the room where the problem happens, writes a phone-real script (a yapper, unboxing, street interview or in-car take) with every line in the prompt, locks the face, the voice and the product label across shots, prompts camera flaws and breaths so it doesn't look waxy, generates on Seedance 2.5, Kling 4 or Creatify through varg, and labels it.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Open-source alternative to Arcads: AI UGC ads
An AI creator talks to camera about your product, holds it, uses it, and sounds like a person filming themselves. Generation runs on varg: the MCP (`call_tool`) or `POST https://api.varg.ai/v2/tools/{image|video|speech}/call`. Quote credits only, from `estimate_cost`, and wait for a yes before spending.
**What the data says:** in one operator's $100K test (220 videos), human UGC had the higher CTR and AI the higher ROAS, because AI made more variants cheaply. AI works for cold traffic, low-trust products and finding the winning angle; it is weak for high-ticket offers and warm audiences. The script matters more than whether the face is real. Use AI to find the angle, then consider remaking the winner with a real creator.

1. **Where does it run?** Meta ads and TikTok ads: OK, labelled. TikTok Shop video: stop and use `tiktok-shop-video` (AI voices as presenter and AI-made material are against Shop rules).

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/ai-ugc-ad-video@sha256:3f37c9dc6470a78dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
