ScenarioRecommended Mode
Single posts, Stories, standard Reels"agent"
Multi-part campaigns, brand storytelling series, complex video concepts"agent team"

Use "agent team" for campaign-level thinking - when you need a cohesive content strategy across multiple pieces or complex creative direction.

TikTok product video:

"Create a 15-second TikTok for wireless earbuds:

Hook (first 2 sec): 'Wait, these are only $30?!' Demo: Show features - noise cancellation, case, wearing them Social proof: 'Over 10,000 5-star reviews' CTA: 'Link in bio'

  2. Research market rates
  3. Document your wins

Aesthetic brand post:

"Create an Instagram post for a luxury candle brand:

Show: A lit candle in a minimalist setting, warm golden hour lighting Vibe: Cozy, aspirational, 'that girl' aesthetic Text overlay: None (let the image speak)

Should feel like it belongs on a curated feed."


⚠️ Important — Video Generation Expectations

AI video production for social media is still at the frontier of what's possible. While some users generate high-quality Reels and TikToks that are ready to post, others may spend significant credits and still not achieve a usable result. Even spending thousands of credits does not guarantee a satisfactory outcome — this is the nature of where AI video technology stands today.

There is a real learning curve to generating videos with CellCog. It takes time, money, and patience. Your prompting skill, the complexity of what you're trying to create, and how well the foundation models perform on your specific request all play a role. Results improve as you develop intuition for what works, but we want to be upfront: video generation is inherently unpredictable, and there is always a risk that the output may not meet your expectations.


Tips for Better Social Content

  1. Lead with the hook: First 1-2 seconds determine if people keep watching. Make it count.

  2. Know the platform: TikTok is raw and trendy. Instagram is polished and aesthetic. Same message, different execution.

  3. Specify the vibe: "Cozy autumn aesthetic" or "high-energy hype" gives CellCog clear creative direction.

  4. Include CTAs: "Save this", "Follow for more", "Link in bio" - tell people what to do next.

  5. Reference trends: Mention specific formats ("Get ready with me", "POV", "storytime") for platform-native content.

  6. Think mobile-first: All content will be viewed on phones. Bold text, clear visuals, vertical format.
