Creatify Starts from a Blank Prompt.
Heista Starts from a Proven Formula.

Creatify is a powerful URL-to-video platform — paste a product URL, get a video ad with AI talking heads. But the script it generates is surface-level, built from your product data, not from a decoded winning formula. The fastest-scaling D2C brands decode the winner first, generate scripts at volume from the proven formula, test with AI talking heads, find the winner, then brief real creators. Heista's Ad Decoder extracts the complete 7-beat structure, buyer tensions, and psychological mechanisms from any winning ad — so every script starts from proof, not guesswork.

Key Takeaways

  • Creatify generates AI talking head videos from product URLs — but starts from scratch with surface-level scripts and no decoded formula.
  • Heista gives you the proven formula and winning scripts BEFORE you generate video — decoded from real winning ads, loaded with your brand intelligence.
  • The smartest workflow: decode winner with Heista, generate scripts at volume, test with AI talking heads, find the winner, THEN brief real creators.
  • Stop guessing what script to give creators or feed into video tools. Start with formulas that are already proven to convert.
