Check my available generation options first.</p> </blockquote> <p>Your AI assistant can use the available UGCPilot tools to help with the process.</p> <h2> Useful links </h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://getugcpilot.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">UGCPilot</a></li> <li><a href="https://getugcpilot.com/mcp" rel="noopener noreferrer">MCP Setup Guide</a></li> <li><a href="https://getugcpilot.com/docs/mcp-tools" rel="noopener noreferrer">All 78 MCP Tools</a></li> <li><a href="https://getugcpilot.com/ai-ugc-video-generator" rel="noopener noreferrer">AI UGC Video Generator</a></li> </ul> <p>I'm building UGCPilot to make content creation easier for SaaS founders and small teams.</p> <p>If you're already using Claude or Codex to build your product, you can now experiment with using them for your marketing workflows too.</p> <p>Would love to hear what you think!</p>
