Real case: why sellers like Ignacio waste hours with generic AI instead of automating content

Many ecommerce owners try generating images and videos with generic AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini or standalone apps. The problem: they end up spending hours, get frustrated, and the results are inconsistent.

This is the real case of Ignacio — a seller who wanted to automate his content creation but got stuck in a slow, manual workflow… until he tried TiendaPop.

1. The real issue: generic AI isn’t built for ecommerce

Ignacio had a Google Drive folder with product photos organized by SKU. His goal was to build a “little robot” that would:

• Grab a product photo
• Create a lifestyle image
• Generate a video with a simple pan movement
• Add music automatically
• Repeat this for 100–200 products

It sounded good… until reality hit:

• ChatGPT and Gemini can’t read folders
• Each image must be uploaded manually
• The AI does not preserve scale, shape or real colors
• No tool can produce images + videos in a consistent batch
• Results vary wildly product by product

And even though you could technically build something using n8n, APIs and multiple IAs… it becomes expensive and requires a developer.

2. What Ignacio actually wanted (and what every seller wants)

This is what Ignacio explained in his audios:

“I wanted a robot that takes each photo from a folder and automatically generates all the images and videos per SKU.”

Which is exactly what every ecommerce seller dreams of:

• Upload one product photo — AI does the rest
• Batch generation
• No repetitive manual steps
• No prompts or technical knowledge required

The problem? Outside specialized ecommerce AI… that workflow simply doesn’t exist.

3. How TiendaPop solves this exact bottleneck

TiendaPop is built precisely for the workflow Ignacio needed — but without technical complexity:

• Automatically imports all products from Tiendanube
• No manual image uploads
• AI preserves the real scale, shape and colors of the product
• Generates consistent lifestyle images
• Creates ready-to-use ad videos
• Allows generating multiple variants with one click

Before/After comparison

In seconds, the product goes from “acceptable” to professional and ready to sell.

4. Videos: where sellers lose even more time

Ignacio tried generating videos with AI… but couldn’t. Generic tools:

• Don’t allow consistent styling
• Don’t preserve the real product
• Don’t allow local accents
• Are not designed for ecommerce needs

Videos generated with TiendaPop

5. The real impact: from hours per product to seconds

Ignacio went from:

• Trying 3–4 different AI tools
• Uploading product images manually
• Attempting a folder automation workflow
• Getting inconsistent results

To simply:

• Selecting a product
• Choosing image or video style
• Clicking once

And done. Content ready to publish.

6. The real problem isn't “knowing how to use AI”, it's using the right AI

Ignacio didn’t have a technical issue. He had a tooling issue.

General-purpose AIs can do a lot… except ecommerce content at scale. TiendaPop is built specifically for that.
