What Glif does

Creative 'super agent' for images and video. Its Glif Characters feature (launched 28 Sep 2026, custom characters from one image added 26 Oct) lets you cast consistent original AI 'models' for ads, UGC-style clips and product shots, with reference sheets prepared for video models such as Seedance 2.5. On 30 Oct it marketed this as 'the first AI modelling agency'.

Good for

  • Consistent AI presenters or models for product shots and ad variations
  • Quick UGC-style ad concepts before paying for a shoot

Try this in 10 minutes

  1. Consistent AI presenters or models for product shots and ad variations. Pick one real example from your own business and try just that.
  2. Quick UGC-style ad concepts before paying for a shoot. Put the result next to how you do it today. Is it faster, cheaper or better?
  3. Recreate one of your recent social graphics from a one-line prompt and compare it with the original.

Latest update

  • : Rechecked after the 30 Oct 'first AI modeling agency' launch post: it is the same Glif Characters feature, not a new product. Glif's own thread replies add that the characters work with any video model in the agent (Seedance 2.5, with a cheaper draft mode, plus Wan, Flux, Kling and Grok), that the first 250 people get a free month of the Starter plan (coupon GLIFMODELS, may be used up), and that you can use Glif from other agents such as Claude, Cursor and Codex. Pricing page (31 Oct): Starter $10, Pro $30, Pro L $100 a month; monthly credits don't roll over.
  • : Promoted Glif Characters as 'the first AI modelling agency': cast 100-150+ original AI models with consistent faces for ads. The 'agency' framing is marketing for the Characters feature launched in September. Source: https://x.com/i/status/2116198551814623370
