  "account": "Marketing teams frequently struggle with the time gap between identifying a need for a new SKU angle and having a ready-to-use creative across platforms like Meta, TikTok, and Product Detail Pages (PDP). The conventional approach involves opening multiple AI tools, generating various outputs, and manually pasting them into Slack and ad accounts, leading to inefficiencies and confusion. RelayMe offers a streamlined solution by keeping the original product photo as the source of truth, connecting image models, and pricing each model in credits before execution. This approach minimizes tool sprawl, offers transparent costs, allows easy rework, and maintains a clear workflow.\n\nThe process begins with uploading a product photo to the RelayMe canvas. Users then generate studio or lifestyle candidates using an image model like Nano Banana Pro or GPT Image variants, comparing each candidate against the original for consistency in details like label spelling, proportions, and packaging color. Subsequently, the approved stills can be upscaled or outpainted for different placements, such as higher-tier resolutions for story formats or specific aspect ratios. Finally, a video node accepts the first frame, allowing users to set duration, resolution, and audio before reviewing the credit estimate.\n\nWith RelayMe, marketing teams can wire these steps once and reuse the canvas for subsequent SKUs, eliminating the need to rebuild the workflow from scratch. While RelayMe enhances efficiency, it has limitations, such as not guaranteeing pixel-perfect packaging or supporting local LoRAs or custom checkpoints. However, it provides a cost-effective, transparent pricing model where users see estimates for models, settings, and output tiers before execution. RelayMe is particularly suited for e-commerce teams managing many SKU variants, performance marketers testing hooks, and agencies needing a reusable workflow. The platform is self-funded and based in Hong Kong, with support available during business hours. For more information, visit relayme.ai or contact support via email.",
