I’ve been testing a build that combines Airtable + n8n to create a full engine for generating AI-driven product images and videos.
Here’s the process:
- A user uploads a quick photo of their product.
- They add instructions + choose how many variations they want.
- In a few minutes, the engine outputs polished visuals: product flyers, ad-style images, and short animated videos.
Behind the scenes:
- Airtable is the frontend for submissions.
- n8n runs the automation.
- The generation uses GPT Image 1 (OpenAI) and Veo3 / Veo3-fast (via KIE AI’s API).
- The costs are minimal: $50 for 10,000 credits (e.g., an image costs 6–8 credits, an 8s video costs 80–400 credits). Airtable + n8n = ~$48/month total.
💡 The OpportunityImagine offering this as a service:
- If you price images at just $2 each, the same $50 in credits (10,000) would generate ~$2,500 in revenue.
- If you price short videos at $20–$50 each, you can 10x the margin (since one 8s Veo3-fast video costs only 80 credits = ~$0.40).
That means with less than $100/month in running costs, this system could generate thousands in revenue if packaged as a creative service for marketers, e-commerce sellers, or startups needing fast content.
