Inspiration
I’ve always been passionate about creative advertising and wanted to make ads that truly engage and connect with audiences. Inspired by platforms like Smule, I saw an opportunity to build a platform where users can collaborate to create ads together—making the process more fun, interactive, and memorable. This collaborative approach not only sparks creativity but also helps brands retain their identity and connect with their audience in new ways.
What it does
Quipcast is an AI-powered ad platform that enables users to collaborate on creating, managing, and launching engaging ad campaigns. With user-friendly interfaces, dynamic content generation, and analytics, it makes it easy for anyone—from brands to creators—to produce creative and effective ads that stand out. Users must authenticate to access the platform, and campaign creation is protected by a paywall to ensure only subscribed users can manage campaigns.
How we built it
We built Quipcast using Bolt.ai for AI-driven script generation, Supabase as our database and for authentication, and a modern tech stack for the front and backend. The platform is designed for quick development and easy iteration, focusing on delivering a robust MVP.
Challenges we ran into
Challenges We Ran Into Prompting Bolt.ai effectively Figuring out how to phrase requests so the AI would generate creative, relevant, and brand-aligned content required a lot of experimentation.
Token consumption We realized tokens are used up very quickly, which forced us to become much more efficient in our prompting and discussions with the AI.
Video ad support Video ad support was missing in early versions, so we had to brainstorm solutions to integrate this essential feature.
AI hallucinations The AI sometimes produced unexpected or off-brand output, prompting us to debug and refine our approach.
Implementing Supabase policies
Accomplishments that we're proud of Created the first MVP of Quipcast Ads We turned our vision into a real, working product—bringing together creative ad generation, collaboration, and a user-friendly experience.
-Proved the concept with a functional demo
- What we learned Bolt.ai prowess and possibilities We learned firsthand what Bolt.ai is capable of—how it can generate compelling content, spark new ideas, and help us quickly prototype creative concepts.
The power of rapid iteration Using Bolt.ai and Supabase together showed us how fast we can build, test, and refine new features.
- What's next for Quipcast Ads AI-Powered Video Ad Generation We’re working on enabling the AI to transform scripts and creative concepts directly into video ad drafts—making it easier and faster to bring ideas to life.
User-Driven Video Editing and Iteration Users will be able to edit, refine, and iterate on the AI-generated video ads, collaborating in real time to perfect the final product.
Authentication for campaigns Implementing secure user authentication will ensure only authorized users can create and manage campaigns, adding a layer of professionalism and security.
More creative tools and analytics We’ll keep expanding our toolkit, giving users more ways to collaborate, analyze campaign performance, and bring their creative visions to life.
