Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You copy and paste the prompts on this page into ChatGPT or Claude, and the AI does the building. When it asks you something, you answer in your own words.
What does it cost?
The quick version, the app pack and the step-by-step instructions are for members: you pay the membership price, not a price per app (see the plans). Building the full app uses your own ChatGPT or Claude subscription. Putting it online is often cheap or no cost at the start, and your AI tells you before anything costs money.
How long does it take?
The quick version: about two minutes. The real app: an afternoon for a first version you can use, longer if you want every feature.
Can I change it to fit my business?
Yes. Tell your AI what to change in plain words, like “add a column for the price” or “use our logo and colours”. Or have Nexibeo build and customise it for you.
More detailsHow the AI works, safeguards and what to build first
Reduce thumbnail production time while keeping brand, face and title consistency across every video. For video creators and marketing teams producing regular YouTube, Instagram and TikTok content, convert video files, channel branding, face references, title drafts and platform specs into reviewed, platform-ready thumbnail sets linked to each video. The benefit is a testable hypothesis, measured through accepted thumbnails per production hour and click-through change against a documented baseline; do not assume that AI output alone produces business value.
Confirm the buyer's problem and scope, collect video files, channel branding, face references, title drafts and platform specs, then follow this sequence: 1. Generate thumbnails from prompts or video content. 2. Apply channel templates and brand styles. 3. Edit thumbnails with drag-and-drop layers. 4. Add and style text, images and design elements. 5. Export in YouTube, Instagram and TikTok dimensions. Resolve uncertain cases with qualified reviewers, approve reviewed, platform-ready thumbnail sets linked to each video, and measure accepted thumbnails per production hour and click-through change against a documented baseline.
How the AI works
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate thumbnails, titles and design elements for the stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One approved brand kit and licensed asset set; final brand, face and title checks remain editorial. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to publish.
Safeguards
Preserve brand voice, source attribution, face likeness rights and usage permissions. Channel owners approve substantive changes and publishing scope. One approved brand kit and licensed asset set; final brand, face and title checks remain editorial. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
What to build first
Pilot scope: One approved brand kit and licensed asset set; final brand, face and title checks remain editorial. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: generate thumbnails from prompts or video content; apply channel templates and brand styles. Support the remaining modules with operator review: edit thumbnails with drag-and-drop layers; add and style text, images and design elements; export in YouTube, Instagram and TikTok dimensions. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
What it can connect to
Creator-owned video files, channel branding and permitted reference images. Cloud asset storage, design-file import/export and video-platform destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.
The screens in detail
Primary screens: Brand and channel setup, Generation and editing workspace, Review and export. Use a thumbnail gallery for videos, a large central editing canvas with drag-and-drop layers, and a right-hand panel for prompts, styles, face references and platform sizes. Let users compare A/B variants side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a client preview link showing how each thumbnail appears on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed, platform-ready thumbnail sets linked to each video visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
