AI Brand and Performance Ads at Scale

Absurd makes AI brand and performance ads at scale. Our last video for Kalshi ("Election Day") did 1M+ views, and we average 300K+ organic views across all videos. Our clients include Kalshi, Replit, Reforge, Gumloop, Micro1, and a couple YC and HF0 startups. We do this with a multi-agent orchestration layer to create production-quality videos in 72 hours. These agents collaborate with your team to plan and generate every scene on an interactive canvas. From the canvas, your team can watch image frames and video renders come to life in real time — commenting, iterating, or generating new ideas alongside the agents. Try it today at absurd.com

Absurd — AI ads powered by agents and creatives
See original launch post

Hey everyone — we’ll make your launch video!

We’re Philip, Damian, and Daniel, co-founders of Absurd.

TL;DR

Absurd turns your ideas into viral AI ads.

Here’s an ad we made that blew up on X (690K views). Another one (470K views). Here’s a more artsy one (150K views). Our portfolio.

We built a multi-agent system that plans, generates, and edits campaigns in real time — all visible and collaborative on Slack and a live, Figma-like canvas.

The Problem

Making entertaining AI videos is hard.

Scripting. Breaking an idea into shots, pacing it, and keeping a story coherent takes real creative skill. Most people underestimate how much of a craft that is.

Generation. There are dozens of AI video models out there, each good at something different — one nails motion, another nails faces, another gets the lighting right. Knowing which one to use, and how to deal with their quirks like consistent characters or a continuous storyline, takes serious trial and error.

Because of these factors, most AI-generated ads look generic and perform poorly.


Our Solution

  • Ideation: We review your brand and work with you on Slack to explore multiple creative directions before locking in the concept.
  • Production: Autonomous AI agents handle scripting, storyboarding, and video generation — while we stay in the loop on every step, stepping in to steer the output when needed. This all happens inside an interactive, Figma-like canvas where you can step in anytime to review progress, give feedback, or steer the direction alongside our team.
