FAQ
Questions, answered.
What Cutboard does, what it touches, and how it turns the clips you already have into ads. The short version is below.
What is Cutboard?
Cutboard is an AI agent that turns the video footage already sitting in your Google Drive into paid ads. Connect your Drive, chat with the agent, and it pulls the exact clips and writes editor-ready briefs — copy, hooks, on-screen text, the precise 7-second cut. It's watched your footage and it knows your brand, so what comes out is yours, not a stock template.
Do I have to upload my footage anywhere?
No. You connect your Google Drive — read-only — and Cutboard transcodes and indexes everything in place. Your files never move, never get re-organized, and never live somewhere else. It works against the folder you already have.
Is my footage safe? What access do you need?
Cutboard requests a read-only Google Drive scope. It can read and index your clips; it can never edit, move, or delete anything. We adhere to Google's Limited Use policy — your footage is used to power Cutboard for you and nothing else. No training on your library, no sharing.
What kind of footage works?
Any video. Product shots, behind-the-scenes, UGC, demos, event coverage, raw b-roll — if it's in your Drive, Cutboard indexes it scene-by-scene. The messier and more scattered your library, the more useful it is.
Does it edit the video, or just plan the ad?
It finds the exact clips and writes the brief — copy, hook, on-screen text, and the precise cut, down to the timestamp. The output is editor-ready: you or your editor open it in your tool of choice and finish in minutes. Cutboard does the searching and strategy legwork; you keep the final hand on the timeline.
How does it learn my brand?
That's the brand brain. Drop in your website and the agent reads back your voice, your audience, and your offer. You confirm what's right or just tell it what's off — all in chat. From then on, every ad it writes is shaped by your angles, not a generic prompt.
How is this different from generic AI ad tools?
Generic tools hand you a stock template and a clip they've never seen. Cutboard has two things they don't: your library — it has actually watched your footage, indexed scene-by-scene — and your brand brain. It's a strategist that knows your material, not a template generator.
