Start with your own hook
Turn your ad hook into short, scroll-friendly scenes
Start from a rough idea, a written ad or a full script. Each beat of the ad becomes a scene.
Rough Idea
Just a quick one-line ad idea
Describe the ad in a sentence. The AI writes a short script with a first-second hook, one clear message and a closing line, which you can review and edit before animating.
A sleepy cartoon coffee cup wakes up, stretches and bounces across the desk shouting "Monday needs me!"
Most Popular
Your own written short ad copy
Paste the ad copy you have written. Each line becomes scenes in your order, with a voice for each character, so the ad says what you approved in the tone of your brand.
"Tired already?" said Cup, yawning. "Give me five minutes!" He did a flip, landed in a mug and grinned at the camera.
Full Script
A full written ad script
Paste your ad script with scene headings, character names and lines. Atlabs follows every scene and line closely, so the finished ad stays true to your approved copy.
SCENE 1: DESK, MORNING. CUP (yawning): "Monday needs me!" He bounces across the keyboard.

How It Works
From hook to finished cartoon ad in 4 steps
Paste your idea, story, or script
Add your ad idea or script, describe your characters and your product or message, and say what you want to end on.
STEP 1
Choose a style & aspect ratio
Pick a bold look that suits your brand, then choose 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Stories or 16:9 for feeds and websites. Both work from one script.
STEP 2
Lock characters, worlds, & props
Create your characters once, with their look, colours and voice, then reuse them in every ad you make, in every format.
STEP 3
Generate, refine, and publish
Generate the cartoon, watch it through, change any scene or line, then download the finished video to share anywhere.
